Boxer Urges Quick Handover of U.S. Power to UN

Senator Barbara Boxer (D, CA) wants to speed the process of handing power over U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations as soon as possible by urging the State Department to come out in support of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

The UNCRC imposes on all treaty signatories power over laws concerning children and, by extension, families. The largest portion of laws concerning children and families in the U.S. are state statutes so this treaty would, in actual fact, eliminate all family laws in the various states and hand the power over this area of law to the U.N. as per the Supremacy Clause to the U.S. Constitution (Article V1) that states that treaties preempt state laws.

Boxer is eager to destroy the entire lot of family laws throughout the country supposedly to protect "the most vulnerable people of society."

The woman has obviously lost her mind. It probably happened quite a while ago but she only now feels free to let it all hang out.

I think what she has is called "liberal derangement syndrome!" It's obviously worked it's way through Congress and has infected the majority of the congress critters as it goes! I believe it's fatal, if you know what I mean. At least, one can hope it is. lol..

This is absurd, it's bad enough already that we give our children privacy rights such that parents have no idea what their children are up to, until they get sued or the children are arrested, but to let some world body tell us how to raise our children is absolutely insane. Since we are financially and morally responsible for our children, we need to fix the laws already on the books which strip us of our ability to know what is going on in our children's lives. I have written repeatedly to my congress critters about this, and have received the usual liberal blather in response. They are worried about the unusual cases and as usual throw the baby out with the bathwater....
