On one side is international pressure to vest any climate deal with what international law considers to be binding legal force. On the other is the political difficulty, even the impossibility, of approving a climate treaty under our Constitution because of the need for approval by two-thirds of the Senate.

“What the Paris attacks showed and what the Mumbai attacks had shown before is that a small group of terrorists who can coordinate their actions and get into a major city with light arms can cause enormous death and destruction among civilian targets. What our government and intelligence agencies need to do is to have access in real time to the broadest database of communications possible.”
John Yoo quoted in The Washington Times, Nov. 15, 2015
During the Sunday talk, the terrorist attacks in Paris were fresh on everyone’s mind.

“What worries me is that the end of the NSA bulk collection program is taking away exactly the kind of tool we need for the kind of attacks we’re going to be getting in the future, which is going to be more dispersed, less like the 9/11 hijackers, and more like the Boston Marathon bombing.”
John Yoo interviewed by The Wall Street Journal Opinion, April 9, 2015
“You can’t tell right in the middle of the attack whether it is just a small-time person, a lone-wolf person, or someone who’s part of a bigger Al-Qaeda conspiracy, a bigger terrorist group. I worry that, under the Obama administration, our first instinct and option is to think that of it as law enforcement and civilian rather than keeping all our options open.”
