In new developments concerning the U.N.'s Law of the Sea Treaty, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had scheduled a quick vote on the pact for next Wednesday, October 24. But a member of the committee, Senator David Vitter, has reportedly requested--and received--a postponement of the vote. Vitter has been in the forefront of exposing the dangerous provisions of the measure.
October 24 just happens to be "United Nations Day," which is probably why committee chairman and presidential candidate Senator Joseph Biden had scheduled a vote at this time. Biden, who once wrote an article titled, "How I Learned to Love the New World Order," thinks his pro-U.N. credentials will help garner liberal votes in the Democratic primaries.
