What about chemistry?
Omigosh, the man is an even bigger fool that I previously thought! He has done more to wreck this country in a few short weeks, and the Media claims that he “won”.
Arrrrgh! No disrespect indended to anyone, but good heaven's people, don't you remember recent history? Also, don't you ever read the finer points of the Constitution?
Once again, Bill Clinton signed the ICC treaty in the late 1990's. The Republican Senate did not ratify it, and when President Bush took office in 2001, he revoked Clinton's signature, effectively removing the U.S. as a signatory. All Obama has to do is sign the existing treaty and re-submit it to the Senate for ratification. This Senate WILL ratify it.
Article VI of the U.S. Constitution makes ratified treaties the law of our land. There would be NOTHING unconstitutional in the ICC treaty if it was ratified by the Senate.
It comes in handy when making bombs.
With pleasure.
In the mind of the black supremacist Obama, US soldiers are only good for sacrificing their lives to save the lives of black Africans

LOl. When? In 4 years? 8 Years? After he has changed the Constitution to make him our new Fidel. OPEN YOUR EYES. Everything isn’t gonna be alright!
People, get this through your heads. If Obama re-signs the ICC treaty, and if the Senate ratifies it, the treaty becomes the law of our land. Don't believe me? Read the following:
United States Constitution, Article VI, para. 2
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Constitution means what We The People say it means.
The Constitution belongs to us, not to the courts, the feds, the congress or any other usurper.

AMEN! At least one person, you, still realizes this.
That’s what I said.
You can argue that it’s against the SPIRIT of the Constitution and the Founders to subordinate our rights to outside authorities, but it would be strictly legal. And as I also said, you can bet that whatever it said in the treaty would be stretched further by liberal judges and politicians as time went by, which is what has happened with the Geneva Convention.
Where further issues might arise would be if the International Court passed measures that directly violated “inalienable” rights given in the Constitution, such as a ban on religious expression or freedom of speech. But that’s a worry for the future, and in any case we seem to be doing pretty well having those rights carved away slice by slice without any foreign help.
Aside from the most relevant reason why he shouldn't do this (would trigger a response in the US like this country hasn't seen since the civil war) he'd be really stupid to do this because the mob he creates would soon come for his head.
Look at all of the violations of the Constitution have already been happening? The practical result is what I said, because the country will not step up and assert our rights over our governmenet. And the country will not arise over this either, as much as I wish we would...
Your points are well understood. But, I'm sure a tipping point will be reached. I'd like us to wake up in time to take advantage of it.
Enumerate/list please.
I certainly hope you are wrong. For the sake of the country, I hope you are wrong.
With all due respect, that is the thinking that keeps The People from serving Cease and Desist orders upon a Tyrannical Government.
Sure, it belongs to the States, but it ultimately belongs to The People of those States.
After prefacing your comment by saying it's "arguable" that the ICC treaty would be constitutional. It isn't arguable at all. If it's ratified by the senate, it's the law of the land. I get frustrated when I see posts like several on this thread that indicate too many conservatives don't know the plain language of the Constitution's finer points. How can conservatives preserve, protect and defend it if they don't know what it says?
The Constitution belongs to the states, and through them to us, the people.
Again, with all due respect...We the People ARE the States.
Two! :>)
