Grover Norquist, chairman of Americans for Tax Reform, says in criticism of the Law of the Sea Treaty:

“Some might say, well, this just starts in the water,” Mr. Norquist said. “But so do amphibians and reptiles. At some point the United Nations would start getting those little gill things and start getting out on the land. We should kill this now while it’s still an invertebrate.”

So, do you need gills or a backbone to get out of the water?
