Who came up with such a hair brain scheme? International court having jurisdiction over us.
Some of the people here are ever the eternal optimists, but after years of this I am sick and tired of watching someone say, "Thank heaven for this." What do you folks mean thank heavens for this?
Bush was supposed to have rescinded our signature to join the International Court of Justice. None the less our Supreme Court justices seem predilected to adopt Europe's laws as if our own. And now the hens are coming home to roost. Bah humbug!!!
Here we have a directive from a periferal entity that we signed onto. And what, now we are going to withdraw from that entity. How could we? We were told we were not a member.
There is some question in my mind if this is the International Criminal Court that we're talking about here, only by another name. If it is not, then the same principles should apply. Why are we toying around with an international institution that seeks to supercede our own self-determination.
Folks, if we didn't want self-determination, what the hell did our founding fathers fight to provide for us, and what do ou members of the military fight to preserve for us, if not for that one principle?
My level of contempt for our government officials grows daily.
Whether it's the Congress, the Executive Branch, or now even the Supreme Court, the levels of skullduggery and the continuing shell game, are wearing this citizen's patience very thin.
Thanks for the ping. Can't wait until three years from now when the water starts boiling again, for the next announcement that we are going to withdraw from the International Court of Justice.
Apparently, according to my social studies methods professor, Churchill has been recruiting high school students to try to take over the government. He is going even nuttier than before.
Hopefully, he will land in a jail cell.
My history professor is liberal, by the way, but he flat has called Churchill a traitor who deserves to see a jail cell.
Good for him.

Excellent precedent, President Bush! We command ourselves better than the world can hope to handle itself.
A great move.
Thanks for the info. The prof clerked for Souter. Probably his boyfriend too.
<< Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Ha-le-eh-luh-jah! >>
Amen!
Take a deep breath D1.
The Second American Revolution will solve ALL of this bullsqueeze - and it is bound to happen soon.
bump for later reading
Now we just need to withdraw from the WTO and gut Nafta.. maybe start exporting traitors.
I've been saying that for a while.. makes the free traitors really nervous.. lol.
The withdrawal followed a Feb. 28 memorandum from President Bush to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales directing state courts to abide by the decision of the tribunal, the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

It saddens me to the marrow, but I really see no other alternative. This country is deeply divided over core issues. Politicians care naught but for their own power, Judges have become tyrants.
Revolution is inevitable. I am so very afraid, not so much for myself, but for my family.
Methinks you are a little too optimistic.

Mr. Spiro Esq. is a globalist not an American.

Harold Hongju Koh is another one worlder.
These are the minds that would have been running this country had the enemy Democrat Party won the election.
