"?????????"

"Darla Jordan, a State Department spokeswoman, said the administration was troubled by foreign interference in the domestic capital justice system but intended to fulfill its obligations under international law."

All better? ;)

[G.Mason]

" This is absolutely correct."

Absolutly!

As per the Constitution of the United States of America.

U.S. Says It Has Withdrawn From UN

Will we then suffer the same fate as did the Confederacy when it tried to secede from the Union? ;-)

[clee1]

How so?

[G.Mason]

"Some of the people here are ever the eternal optimists ... "

Though I agree with many points you have made here, I would caution you to consider the delicate balancing act that the administration has, not only with the rest of the world, but with the enemies within this country.

IMHO ... President Bush is moving at a pace he deems prudent.

For many of us it is a snails pace with too little too late.

I find some comfort in awakening each day and realizing that the enemy Democrats are losing more and more power with each passing hour.

The UN (appointment of John Bolton ) is being disemboweled, the international court chewed up, France and Germany left swinging in the breeze.

President Bush is eating the sandwich the size of a large loaf of Italian bread. He's taking small bites, but he will eat it all. ;)

Now lets have a moment of silence for all the 3rd party Freepers who every election year constantly tell us that there is no difference between the Rs and Ds.

Someone needs to check up on this Spiro, law professor at UG. Sounds like a globalist who hates the idea of US sovereignty, let alone states' rights. Texas should refuse to cave on this one. Every Mexican murderer needs to have his execution put on the fast track as of yesterday.

international adjudication is crucial to the enemies of the USA. It is their ONLY viable weapon.

They cannot beat the US on the battlefield or in the world marketplace, so they're taking America to World Court. It's the International version of what the Left has done in domestic courts when they cannot get their agenda fufilled by ballot or legislation.

[vannrox]

"The State of Texas believes no international court supersedes the laws of Texas or the laws of the United States," Mr. Strickland said. "We respectfully believe the executive determination exceeds the constitutional bounds for federal authority."

[Incorrigible]

Hooray! Destro is free!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Who came up with such a hair brain scheme? International court having jurisdiction over us.

Any time you hear the term "world court", think "world government". The Clintons are closet "world government" supporters. That's why Hillary! is so dangerous. And her husband wants to be Sec. General of the UN. If they are both in power at the same time (shudder to think about it), our country's sovereignty will be at stake!!!!!!!

Great news!!

Next on the list of rats nests to clean out...

Don't forget Crispus Attucks.

Gotta have at least ONE brotha up in there!

Well, I'll be dipped.

[Bahbah]

Oooohhh, thanks for the ping.

THIS is scary! It was about time to totally withdraw from letting other interfere in our sovereignty.

and we have to add, us interferring in the sovereignty of other nations.

If we do it to other countries, then it's only fair to assume they will try to interfere in ours.

The Judicial Treaty and ALL treaties not of a defensive nature, should be immediately withdrawn from.

[stylin19a]

"While roughly 160 countries belong to the consular convention," she said, "less than 30 percent of those countries belong to the optional protocol

Looks like the US is only withdrawing from the optional protocol......sigh........ I guess it's a start.

[Publius6961]

"It's a sore-loser kind of move," Professor Spiro said. "If we can't win, we're not going to play."

What part of

"... future International Court of Justice judgments that might similarly interfere in ways we did not anticipate when we joined the optional protocol."

does the good professor Spiro not understand?
Further proof that some people can be and are educated beyond their intelligence...
