The U.S. Senate today killed the ratification of a United Nations treaty designed to improve the prospects of those with disabilities around the world by a vote of 61-38, ending the best chance of any significant treaty making its way through the lame duck session. All no votes came from Republicans and the measure fell just five votes short of achieving the two-thirds of the Senate approval required for passage.
