Will the Senator yield for a question--Senator Kyl. You have been a practicing lawyer and a successful one. You negotiated a lot of agreements here in the Senate. To follow up on what Senator Graham said, it seems to me that at the very…

Will the Senator yield? Mr. McCAIN. While the Senator still has the floor, one additional question for my colleague. As we all know, there is nothing more important, probably, that comes before this body than the ratification of treaties…

I thank Senator Brown and Senator Casey. I do believe that is possible, and I think maybe there is a growing belief that somewhere in this debate about trade, we can reach a common accord across the aisle that, yes, we want to have trade…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. I want to thank my friend, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis) not only for his friendship but also for being with us today as we approach the floor on H. Res. 1776. Mr. Speaker, just last…
Dec 17, 2010
I say to Senator Kyl, you, as a lawyer, have negotiated agreements. It seems to me, what I hear you saying is, the United States enters into a binding treaty, equivalent to a party entering into a binding contract, but the other party has…

Mr. President, I just want to say a couple of things. First, the treaty is important, but its----
