Guest ET Posted March 27, 2010 at 03:06 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 at 03:06 PM This has something to do with the use of the word "ratify".

Guest ET Posted March 28, 2010 at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 at 04:22 PM This was exactly how our debate was. Some camp believes it should be ratified.
