No they won't, everything was voluntary right? The difference is in the US you put something like that on paper and people will sue it forcing the US government to do 10 times whatever vague language they set as a goal. Look at one vague line in the US Constitution, "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" What has "general Welfare" turned in to? So I'm sure there is nothing to hammer the taxpayer with in the 31 pages of this treaty. That's my biggest sticking point anyway, it is clearly a treaty, there is a process to approve a treaty CLEARLY laid out in the Constitution. You don't need Tarot cards and the perfect stacked courts to find it.
