Former President Barack Obama illegally entered into the Paris climate agreement, a lawsuit filed Monday says, citing a legal memo the Obama administration allegedly used to justify the deal.

The lawsuit asserts that the Obama administration argued the agreement could be signed without Senate approval because it does not set “legally binding targets and timetables.” Such justifications are a misrepresentation of the law, according to the lawsuit.

“This memo demonstrates the Obama administration’s unlawful entry into the Paris treaty,” Chris Horner, a former senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, noted in a press statement attached to the lawsuit. The memo “represents a major political and legal scandal,” he added. Horner left CEI in April.

Well, if the targets aren't legally binding, just ignore them.

His pen's run dry.

Most of what Obama/Biden/Hillary/Pelosi/Schumer/Wasserman did and do is illegal. But it doesn't matter.
Democrats are above the Law. They are never called to account no matter what they do.
But a Republican can go to jail for jaywalking...10 years ago. That's America today.
American "Justice" is a joke. It is all about either politics and ethnicity. Nothing to do with Law and Order.

It wasn't ratified, it's not a binding treaty. Very simple.
