#2 Two words: Second Amendment.

It this regime tries to abrogate the constitution through a treaty, things will get ugly.

#3 Alan, I don't think that is going to happen; Senate must ratify treaties, and since the current Senate is in recess, and the incoming one is Republican, very doubtful the needed votes are there.
Just because it was signed doesn't mean its any good ( think a bounced check)

#4 Senate was why we never actually signed the Kyoto ~~Treaty~~ Excrescence - something like 97 or 98% of the Senators of both stripes told the President (Clintoon, I think) that they wouldn't sign it because of what it would do to the American economy.

#5 Clinton never even bothered to submit Kyoto to the Senate for ratification. That is why you heard so much about global warming being Bush's fault.
