Above is commentary that reveals the dangers of having an Executive Branch that pledges allegiance to 'a party' and their cronies rather than the best interests of the American people.
The Law of the Sea has been neglected by Bush while pursued in recent days because he has been successful in maintaining high levels of CO2 for the past seven years, escalating levels with higher emissions than past years. But, the intentions of his adminisration is to exploit the oil and gas reserves in the Arctic Ocean as it melts away. The danger to species extinction is incredible and there is complete disregard by this administration to that effect.
When listening to the video by a member of The Heritage Foundation, kindly listen carefully for hate of all living creatures and the defined demand for a USA that has overwhelming military force regardless of it's necessity and an Executive Branch that can direct the powers of the USA without consensus of the USA legislature. The distain of life other than human as well as the USA Constitution is clearly in those words if one pays close attention to it.
The article below is a pure unadultered manipulation by Bush cronies. To appear to descent against 'The Party;' organizations like The Heritage Foundation leverages opinion of the electorate hence leveraging the actions of the Executive Branch.
George Bush's deference to international law

A case now before the U.S. Supreme Court proves why the Senate must defeat the United Nations' Law of the Sea Treaty. The oral arguments heard this month by the justices didn't mention the treaty, but the parallels are powerful.
The case concerns Jose Medellin, a Mexican national on death row in Texas. Medellin was convicted and sentenced to death after he confessed in 1993 to the rape and murder of two teenage girls in Houston.
Long after Medellin had received full due process of the U.S. legal system, in 2003 the Mexican government sued the United States in the International Court of Justice. That is an agency of the United Nations that sits at The Hague in the Netherlands.
In 2004, the International Court of Justice ruled 14-1 in favor of Mexico and ordered the United States to give Medellin another hearing, or perhaps another trial, at which he could receive the assistance of Mexican consular employees. At that time, the International Court of Justice was headed by a judge from the People's Republic of China.
A 1963 treaty known as the Vienna Convention, which the United States and Mexico signed and ratified, provides that aliens who are accused of crimes in a foreign country are entitled to request the assistance of consular officials from their home country. Medellin never requested such assistance until long after he was tried, convicted and sentenced, and after all his appeals were denied.
This is called corruption in government and is very dangerous and a direct threat to the USA Constitution. One might recall the very close ties of the now Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to The Heritage Foundation revealed during hearings.
