Attorney General Eric Holder: International Law Trumps The Constitution
Christian Political Party ^ | November 29, 2014 | Christian Political Party

Posted on 12/12/2014 9:32:07 PM PST by Cheerio

Every now and then, news breaks in the Obama administration that is so stereotypical, it is actually depressing. You might want to sit down for this.

Attorney General Eric Holder, made infamous by Operation Fast and Furious, is currently arguing before the Supreme Court that United Nations treaties trump the United States Constitution.

That’s right. The sitting Attorney General, charged with upholding and defending the Constitution, is arguing before the highest court that international law is in fact the law of the land.

The case in question, Bond v. United States, is actually pretty ridiculous. The defendant is charged with using a toxic substance to harass a friend who was having an affair with her husband. Under the law, this case would normally be handled at the State-level. But Federal prosecutors instead charged Bond with violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. This would be like taking a perpetrator of a domestic hate crime and instead charging him or her with genocide.

Other than the international law precedent of course?

Bullshit!!!

I say again, BULLSHIT!!!

Nothing trumps the U.S. Constitution!

He's just trying to justify his - and his Controller's - systematic evisceration of it!

International Law is nothing to me - I swore allegiance to the United States of America, and I will have no other allegiance while I live!

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"
This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes."

NOTHING trumps the United States Constitution!

Even the prisoners at Leavenworth (military or civilian) possess more honor and dignity than Eric Holder.

Holders’ presence at Leavenworth would disgrace the prisoners completely.

I would not subject the s.o.b.’s to his presence.

The Obama administration are advocates of the one world/no borders ideology that calls for a superseding world government. They not only reject the notion of American exceptionalism but view American sovereignty as fundamentally wrong. The American people must understand the goals of the Left and the core of the Democratic Party.

“Why is Eric Holder bothering withthis one?”

Because he thinks he can sneak this by us and create a precedent. Then the UN Small Arms Treaty will be deemed to be ratified by fiat on Christmas Eve.

These Progressive a-holes are relentless. America’s Christians and legal gun owners are the only thing standing in the way of their Socialist Utopia, and they will never stop trying to get rid of both groups.

WE THE PEOPLE......doesn't include any contract with or recognition of foreign entity. It's called sovereignty. We can opt out of international treaties at any time.

Because we have nukes.

He probably didn’t have to take one, being from a disadvantaged background and all.

Isn't that pretty much what they're building up to with the Martin/Brown/Garner tactics they are using?
