Dick Morris TV: Lunch Alert!
Morris explains a theory of how we can be obligated to honor a treaty that hasn't even been ratified yet. That means a tax can be imposed with nothing more than a signature on a treaty. But this would appear to be illegal under the US Constitution.
According to the Constitution, the House must first pass a law raising taxes, which in turn goes to the Senate for approval. All revenue bills must originate in the House. But this treaty would impose a tax by nothing more than a signature of the President or a cabinet official. This cannot possibly be legal under the Constitution, but who knows after what the Supreme Court just did with Obamacare.
