Obama Doesn't Need No Senate

US-China climate deal aims to prod others to act
Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution states "The President shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur".
So, where is the discussion of Senate ratification ?? NO PRESIDENT has the authority to sign a treaty and then just implement it without the Senate ratifying it !!!
The other question that no one asks is how will this treaty be implemented and how much will the cost of electricity and goods rise to meet this goal ?? How many jobs will be lost ?? If the goals are met what effect will this have on the environment ??
Politics aside, these things need to be debated in the Senate and a vote held. If Obama attempts to implement this without Senate approval, that is a clear violation of the Constitution and grounds for impeachment.

RIP Courageous Lady

Brittany Maynard, Death With Dignity Advocate Dies At 29
It was courageous for her to be so open about this and it is about time that this country has the discussion on this issue. Everyone is going to die..it is just a question of when and how. We as a culture watch our dearest loved ones die in horrible pain and torment yet would NEVER subject our pets to the same thing because it is cruel !! Then some clergy who supposedly represent Jesus who was/is the epitome of compassion say that it is somehow good to suffer and die horribly in pain and wait for a miracle that isn't going to happen ??? There was no hope for her--she was dying and was losing her mind and dignity. If I was in her shoes, I would have done the same thing.
