They EAGERLY sold out the US Constitution, ex parte.

They are feeling good just now at The Hague, as the judges and pen-pushers of the International Criminal Court (ICC) adjourn to smart restaurants to celebrate the latest gesture-politics flexing of their muscles by issuing an arrest warrant for Omar al Bashir, the President of Sudan. They are feeling less good in Darfur, from which 10 international aid agencies were expelled in retaliation within four hours of the ICC initiative, cutting food supplies and closing clinics. One man's ego trip is another man's starvation.
But the people who should be feeling really nervous about this development are the citizens of the United States and more especially their armed forces. The signs are that the grandstanding Barack Obama is preparing to subject the United States to the jurisdiction of the ICC. In May, 2002 President Bush withdrew the United States from the Rome Statute which established the ICC. With America heading into global conflict, he had no wish to see US troops arraigned for alleged war crimes before a kangaroo court.
That was a wise decision and probably required in terms of the US Constitution. Already, however, the Obama administration is sending out very different messages. America helped defeat a proposal that the warrant for Bashir should be suspended for 12 months - which would

No one should deploy to combat if he is subject to ICC.
There isnt any doubt in my mind that he will do this.
The man is either insane or attempting to destroy America, and I dont think he is insane.
I hate to say this, but, if I were back in uniform, I would feel under no obligation to obey the orders of this Anti-American P.O.S. whom is hell-bent on surrendering our sovreignty. My oath was to uphold the Constitution. It still stands.
“The Divine One” seems hell bent upon precipitating shooting in our streets. It is becoming increasingly obvious that this clown is a real danger to the Republic. He is an economic disaster, a political disaster and a social disaster.
He could be both.
He’s itching for a military coup.
If anything would actually cause a another US civil war this would be it.
I couldn't agree with you more. It is time for the Supreme Court to decide if this POS is really the Commander in Chief or as I suspect, a Usurper.
IMO rebellion against such an act would be entirely justified.
If American troops commit a crime shouldn’t they come and arrest the Commander in Chief?
It's very easy to understand this reference by identifying Lord Digby with Rahm Emanuel ~ they're both pretty much the same in personality type, but also in mistaken beliefs about "the other side", or which way to flee!
He’s neither. On the other hand he’s clearly quite sociopathic ~ probably made that way by his mother and stepfather.
Digby Jones?
George Digby. Never mind!
This would have severe unintended consequences.
Here's one for you. ICC = No protection from ex post facto laws or habeus corpus. No Bill of Rights protections like due process, no self-incrimination, double jeopardy or rights against search and seizure.
ICC's Marshal shows up to accused individual's home. "We're here to search for evidence. No warrant needed."
Dam straight! This sh!t woulfd be illegal as hello.
