John Kerry

Currently watching the repeat on CSPAN 2. As with the first hearing, it seems like an endless procession of incredibly articulate and principled statements on the benefits for our country of our joining the Law of the Sea convention and then ridiculous utterance after ridiculous utterance from Inhofe. When I look at what's out there on the Law of the Sea on Google, I see all the forces of the conservative blogosphere massed behind Inhofe/Rubio and very little attention being paid by the Democrats other than JK's article in HuffPo: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-kerry/a-national-security-issue_b_1596414.html

The support for this from the military and the cabinet and (according to JK) the business community is extraordinary -- how can an idiot like Inhofe hold it hostage?
