I don't know how much he can do with an executive order.

The ploy that worries me the most is one that does not involve any legislation whatever. That starts with the President agreeing to the jurisdiction of the International Court. Then, some cooperating entity could bring suit against the US for failing to observe the UN rules on small arms control. We would clearly lose that suit. UN rules then become the law of the land... except that I think an international treaty does trump domestic law, but not the Constitution.

Anyway, if they can carry that off it's extremely bad for us. It involves no legislation, and we have no recourse.

I suppose we could cut off UN funding, which wouldn't hurt my feelings...
