Environmentalist Conspire to Bypass Treaty Making Rules



Progressives have been on a crusade to undermine the U.S. Constitution well over a century.  The 1946 Administrative Procedure Act was a godsend to totalitarians who scoff at the concept of a republican form of government.  This law created a fourth branch of government that works independently of Congress.  Soon, the totalitarians that infest these bureaucracies will implement laws that circumvent the treaty making process and undermine our sovereignty.

The Environmental Protection Agency has provided a blueprint on how to bypass our Constitution, and subsequently Congress, by funding special interest groups, and in turn, they sue the federal government i.e. the EPA, who then settles out of court, advancing that agencies agenda and power.  Devious isn’t it?  Well now, they’re taking this show on an international stage.

The Obama administration and his leftist minions just can’t seem to get the Senate to betray the American people with a Kyoto-style environmental treaty.  They know this will never happen without a full blown revolt.  Instead, they’ll use the courts to advance their agenda, just like they’ve done before.  CNS reported the following:


It’s quite clear under Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution that after the president signs it, any binding international law agreement has to be ratified by the Senate,” Horner explained.

But he noted that “activist green groups, in conjunction with the New York attorney general’s office, have already developed plans to use the federal courts to force Americans to drastically reduce their energy consumption whether or not Obama signs a new climate change treaty in Paris next year” to replace the expired Kyoto Protocol.


Horner predicted the White House strategy in a 2009 paper published by the Federalist Society, in which he wrote: “It appears that Kyoto will be the subject of a controversial effort to sharply revise U.S. environmental treaty practice…. waiving the Constitution’s requirement of Senate ratification by reclassifying the product of talks as a congressional-Executive agreement, not a treaty.” (See Kyoto II ...Emerging Strategy.pdf)


”You can’t just dismiss this if you know what they’re trying to do,” Horner said, pointing to a copy of a court pleading drafted by environmental activists that he received from the New York attorney general’s office under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request two years ago.

The draft lawsuit argues that the federal government should be required to honor its international commitments even if they are not ratified by the Senate.

The strategy was confirmed in June by Yvo De Boer, the UN’s former climate chief. “If the U.S. feels that ‘internationally legally binding’ has little value, and that the real value lies in legally-binding national commitments, then these regulations can be the way for the U.S. to show leadership,” De Boer said.


“We know where this is going,” Horner told CNSNews.com. “As they intend, it will end up in the courts, not the Senate. The issue would come down to 'How do you implement it?' and that is where stunts like the NY AG's come in. You get a court to turn these gestures into law and/or a friendly administration to roll over and get a court's blessing by settling a ‘sue-and-settle’ case.”

“You can’t trust the courts not to do that, and it will be as good as ratifying” a climate treaty as far as Americans are concerned, added Horner, author of Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed.


And the totalitarians at the EPA get more and more power, while the American people lose their liberties.
