Is Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty?
On October 14, Lord
Christopher Monckton, a noted climate change skeptic, gave a presentation in St.
Paul, MN. In this 4-minute excerpt from his speech, he issues a dire warning to
all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty, scheduled to
be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009.
Lord Monckton served
as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He has repeatedly challenged Al Gore
to a debate to which Gore has refused. Monckton sued to stop Gore’s film “An
Inconvenient Truth” from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies.
The judge found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to
be corrected. Lord Monckton travels internationally in an attempt to educating
the public about the myth of global warming.
There has been
considerable debate raised about Monckton’s conclusion that the Copenhagen
Treaty would cede US sovereignty. His comments appear to be based upon his
interpretation of the The Supremacy Clause in the US Constitution (Article VI,
paragraph 2). This clause establishes the Constitution, Federal Statutes, and
U.S. TREATIES as the supreme law of the land. Concerns have been raised in the
past that a particularly ambitious treaty may supersede the US Constitution. In
the 1950s, a constitutional amendment, known as the Bricker Amendment, was
proposed in response to such fears, but it failed to pass. You can read more
about the Bricker Amendment in a
1953 Time Magazine article.
