This "silver lining" in all of this is the United Nations' utter inability to enforce their anti-Americanism.

Home School Ping.

[basil]

Does this suck or what!

Get the US out of the UN, and the UN out of the US. And while we're at it, get rid of activist judges!

[PeteB570]

Why should they when they can get American Courts to do it for them.

Laws will be the death of us yet.

"Under the Convention, severe limitations are placed on a parent's right to direct and train their children."

"Farris explains that, in 1995, "the United Kingdom was deemed out of compliance" with the Convention "because it allowed parents to remove their children from public school sex-education classes without consulting the child". Farris argues that, "by the same reasoning, parents would be denied the ability to homeschool their children unless the government first talked with their children and the government decided what was best. This committee would even have the right to determine what religious teaching, if any, served the child's best interest." H I L L A R Y C A R E!!!

We need National Burn a UN Flag day. And Ted Turner flies one above his penthouse in Atlanta too, what a loser.

I have long been an advocate for a Constitutional amendment that:

1) states that no treaty or international agreement supersedes the Constitution of the United States

2) and were a conflict between a ratified US Law and an international agreement exists, the SCOTUS shall be the final judge of what provisions in part or in whole shall remain in effect as the equal to US Law.

3) No treaty or international law or convention that the United States is not a current member or signatory to, shall be binding on any citizen of the United States or any person under the US jurisdiction

[docbnj]

No new constitutional amendment is necessary. The Consttution already states that the supreme law of the land is the Constitutional and laws made pursuant to it. Any interpretation to the contrary is therefore illegitimate, and is a usurpation.

Judges who rule in favor of "international law" and aginst our constitutional rights should be impeached or otherwise removed from office (as by whatever legal procedures are in place in the states for removing corrupt or incompetant judges).

It is a mistake in the long run to think that we can write into the Constitution safeguards which will grant us immunity against judicial usurpation. The safeguards are already there. What is needed is the political will to protect our rights.

Rights must be defended, and exercised, and taught, or they will be lost. A culture which decays will lose the love of its traditional liberties, and the rights which we consider part of our culture will disappear.

[nonsporting]

Congress could pass an amendment to the Constitution, stating explicitly that no provision of any international agreement can supersede the constitutional rights of an American citizen.

The unspoken right to educate your own child as you see fit is already there--Amendment IX. All it takes is some Federal Judge, even with an amendment which explicitely enumerates the right, to circumvent it. Look at the 2nd Amendment.

Any judge which uses this Convention, or any other excuse, to supercede our God given right to educate our own children ought to be "chastised."

This "silver lining" in all of this is the United Nations' utter inability to enforce their anti-Americanism.

I wish I shared your trust in our government. Watching our Senate sell us down the river today with our President's blessings, makes me lose faith that we can trust ANY of the elitist SOB's any more. They made sure Bush's globalization plan surged ahead, and THAT definitely involves his love for his precious UN.

"Third, the specific threat to parental rights can be solved by putting a clear parents' rights amendment into the black and white text of the United States Constitution."

But the man hating, no-fault divorce and cohabitation industry will oppose that. Its members are in leadership in every other kind of organization and lobby.

[A. Pole]

Under the Convention, severe limitations are placed on a parent's right to direct and train their children. As explained in a 1993 Home School Court Report by the HSLDA, under Article 13, parents could be subject to prosecution for any attempt to prevent their children from interacting with material they deemed unacceptable.

New World Order bump

[lakey]

ping - I'm feeling ill.

[SunkenCiv]

the convention may still be binding on citizens because of activist judges.

Another silver lining will be the identification and removal from the bench of activist judges. The Congress has to ratify treaties, not judges, and any judge who attempts that has to go.

[lentulusgracchus]

[Quoting article] "In the 2002 case of Beharry v. Reno, one federal court said that even though the Convention was never ratified, it still has an 'impact on American law'," Farris explained. "The fact that virtually every other nation in the world has adopted it has made it part of customary international law, and it means that it should be considered part of American jurisprudence."

Identify, impeach, and remove for cause every single federal judge and Associate Justice who agrees with that judge.

Binding U.S. citizens with extraneous law "just because I said so" is totally unconstitutional and an abuse of both power and office. If it isn't judicial misconduct to hand down something like that, then I don't know what is, other than getting drunk and following someone into the ladies' room.

[MissouriConservative]

bump for later reading.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

...the convention may still be binding on citizens because of activist judges.

It may seem binding to some but it will be utterly and completely unenforceable.

Just see what happens when a UN representative in a baby blue helmet comes to lay down the law to an American family.

[Gone GF]

Farris must have run out of tinfoil. Or maybe he's just trying to do some fundraising?
