I'm not quite sure what you are asking. If you are asking if most FReepers would want the U.S. to waive its sovereign rights to some 'international' legislative or judicial group, the answer would be no.

My point exactly.
Our politicians are taking strategic policy input from these think-tanks who see the electorate as more of an "obstacle" than an essential part of the US political system of this country. Most of these think-tanks (like "The Carnegie Insititute for Peace" who run the Foreign Affairs Magazine organization) are simply a cover for global big-business interests. They don't give a damn about the US, except how US policy can be "bent" to support their financial interests.

"Andrew Moravcsik argues that American federalism and the ratification process in the Senate undercut the ability of the central government to comply with international standards".
Yeah, so what? That's what most FReepers would think, but not Carnegie & Foreign Affairs. They actually do papers on how the American system of government gets in the way of "meeting international standards"!
These are the think-tank policy orgs that our government's political strategists are listening to, not us. We are just "means for them to get elected" and we can be easily manipulated by hype every four years.
Carnegie's last great production was "Self-Determination in the New World Order". It took me years before I ever even knew where that "New World Order" moniker came from.
My point is this -- we, the electorate and citizens of this country, are so far out of the loop in how and why strategic policy decisions are made that we are often chasing our tails for years just trying to find out the basis for those decisions, let alone decide whether or not we support them and why. And by the time we understand it, it's too late to do anything about it -- that bus has already left the station. We need to keep our ear to the ground as to what these think-tanks are saying, and check to see if it is conforming to their strategy, then we will know what we are really arguing about!
