Any step moving the world towards the goal of nuclear disarmament is a good step in my book. Despite a lot of bluster from Republicans (and many voting against ratification), 11 of them joined all the Senate Dems to vote in favor of ratification, thus passing the treaty which was signed between Presidents Obama and Medvedev of Russia last April. A supermajority of 67 votes out of 100 is needed to ratify a treaty in the U.S. Senate.
