Senator says Obama desn't have the authority to sign the ACTA treaty

Senator Wyden says the issue is that if the agreement requires a change in U.S. law, then the Executive Branch doesn't have the authority to enter a binding international agreement! It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I hope it'll crash and burn, but I doubt Hollywood will let that happen.

Considering how much further his predecessor went without anyone raising a peep, the Senator may be correct, but he will be ignored.
