John, the resolution clearly states unless the Kyoto Protocols are changed (pretty dramatically), we in the Senate oppose it. Therefore, those opposed to ratifying the treaty are not simply "right leaning folks". As I said previously, even Tom Dashle voted for the resolution and against ratifying the treaty.

If the vote were 70-30, I might be able to see your point. But a 95-0 vote is a pretty dramatic statement from all sides of the political spectrum.

Bottom line: Clinton signed a treaty he couldn't find *one* sponsor in the Senate to support.
