I didn't see MaggieL saying she wants the USA to have a veto in the GA - she clarified the fact that this is not a bill, it's a treaty - nations sign it or not. If the USA doesn't sign it, that's not a veto.

Yeah, this is the best working model of a 'land of the free' at the moment ... coming from a socialist state, I really appreciate the freedoms here. Freedom of expression, freedom of religion - those are only 'free' to the extent the government's agenda will tolerate them, where I came from.
