What about that pesky little oath they took about defending the Constitution of the USA?
They talk about the importance of “international law” but I think they mean Sharia.
Oath? More like suggestions with no consequences
.
What about that pesky little oath they took about defending the Constitution of the USA?
Unless there is a enforcement mechanism, and oath means nothing to them. With belief in God, there is belief in enforcement, in this world or the next.
Leftist tend not to believe in God...
They will eventually.
Oaths mean nothing to democommies. Absolutely nothing. You must know this. I would venture to say that oaths mean nothing to ~70% of the members of Congress (and that's likely being generous).
Leftists = Fabian Society
Ya gotta call it what it is
Fellow travelers always have their fingers and toes crossed.
Heh. ‘-)
The Soviets had their share of constitutions, which they would rewrite whenever it was necessary to allow the government to do whatever it wished. That’s what tyrants like, and what they are like.
Leftard’s back-door vs. Constitution?
Would be great is there was an actual opposition party that SUPPORTS the Constitution
40+ days of govt shutdown, not ONCE did I hear ANY (R)N(C) member bring up the Constitution, or that NOBODY is obligated to another, or that govt has no authority in ‘charity’/feeding/welfare+, or....
But they’ll be clamoring for my vote in a few short months to ‘fix’ what they ignored, let alone created.
The rest of the story: That is why Davy Crockett left Congress.
Democrats aka Demoncrats says it all.
The Party of Death DemonRATS have totally torpedoed the U.S. Constitution. They’re going with Islam Socialist Damockrazy. The same crap that caused every maggot south of the border to invade the U.S. “for a better life” subsidized by the American Gringo taxpayers.

ARTICLE IV SECTION 2
Congress can take your hard-earned money and give it to a garbage man to throw in his truck, or to give to his sister.
The UN Economic and Security Council established the UN Commission on Human Rights in 1946, which developed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which established non-binding international human rights standards, for work, standards of living, housing and education, non-discrimination, a fair trial and prohibition of torture. Two further human rights treaties were adopted by the UN in 1966, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). These two documents along with the UDHR are considered the International Bill of Human Rights.
The First Geneva Convention covers wounded and ill combatants, the Second Geneva Convention covers combatants at sea who are wounded, ill or shipwrecked, the Third Geneva Convention covers prisoners of war and the Fourth Geneva Convention covers civilians. These conventions were supplemented the additional Protocol I and Protocol II, which were codified in 1977. Initially IHL conventions were only considered to apply to a conflict if all parties had ratified the relevant convention under the si omnes clause, but this posed concerns and the Martens clause began to be implemented, providing that the law would generally be deemed to apply.
There have been various agreements to outlaw particular types of weapons, such as the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention.
The International Criminal Court (ICC), established by the 1998 Rome Statute, is the first and only permanent international court to prosecute genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression. There are 123 state parties to the ICC although a number of states have declared their opposition to the court; it has been criticised by African countries including The Gambia and Kenya for "imperialist" prosecutions. One particular aspect of the court that has received scrutiny is the principle of complementarity, whereby the ICC only has jurisdiction if the national courts of a state with jurisdiction are "unwilling or unable to prosecute" or where a state has investigated but chosen not to prosecute a case. The United States has a particularly complicated relationship with the ICC; originally signing the treaty in 2000, the US stated in 2002 that it did not intend to become a party as it believed the ICC threatened its national sovereignty and the country does not recognise the court's jurisdiction.
The law of the sea is the area of international law concerning the principles and rules by which states and other entities interact in maritime matters. It encompasses areas and issues such as navigational rights, sea mineral rights, and coastal waters jurisdiction. The law of the sea was primarily composed of customary law until the 20th century, beginning with the League of Nations Codification Conference in 1930, the UN Conference on the Law of the Sea and the adoption of the UNCLOS in 1982. The UNCLOS was particularly notable for making international courts and tribunals responsible for the law of the sea.
Maritime Zones under International Law The boundaries of a nation's territorial sea were initially proposed to be three miles in the late 18th century. The UNCLOS instead defined it as being at most 12 nautical miles from the baseline (usually the coastal low-water mark) of a state; both military and civilian foreign ships are allowed innocent passage through these waters despite the sea being within the state's sovereignty. A state can have jurisdiction beyond its territorial waters where it claims a contiguous zone of up to 24 nautical miles from its baseline for the purpose of preventing the infringement of its "customs, fiscal, immigration and sanitary regulations". States are also able to claim an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) following passage of the UNCLOS, which can stretch up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline and gives the sovereign state rights over natural resources. Some states have instead chosen to retain their exclusive fishery zones, which cover the same territory. There are specific rules in relation to the continental shelf, as this can extend further than 200 nautical miles. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea has specified that a state has sovereign rights over the resources of the entire continental shelf, regardless of its distance from the baseline, but different rights apply to the continental shelf and the water column above it where it is further than 200 nautical miles from the coast.
The UNSC has the power under Chapter VII of the UN Charter to take decisive and binding actions against states committing "a threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or an act of aggression" for collective security although prior to 1990, it has only intervened once, in the case of Korea in 1950. This power can only be exercised, however, where a majority of member states vote for it, as well as receiving the support of the permanent five members of the UNSC. This can be followed up with economic sanctions, military action, and similar uses of force.
