A majority of Republicans who voted against the treaty, which was modeled on the Americans With Disabilities Act, said they feared that it would infringe on American sovereignty.
Among their fears about the disabilities convention were that it would codify standards enumerated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and therefore United Nations bureaucrats would be empowered to make decisions about the needs of disabled children and that it could trump state laws concerning people with disabilities.
More like a culture that worships $$$$ imo
