“Police state” has a pretty specific meaning. This new policy, while doubtless a bad idea, doesn’t by itself cause the US to meet the standard. Any more than most members of the EU are “police states.”
Liberals can’t stand the idea of a sovereign America.
So I guess that now we can expect Dick Cheney and GW Bush to be dragged off to the Hague for trial.
The goal is world socialism and subjecting the U. S. to world government. They must think it can be done in one term.
You can’t grant diplomatic immunity to an organization, just it’s individual members. This just means that people working for Interpol can be granted diplomatic immunity and get out of paying parking tickets. It doesn’t give them any police powers within the US. And they can be kicked out of the country if we want. And if Interpol consents they can be put on trial.
When I first saw this story a week or so ago, I did not think about it in this light, just more of why an Executive order for immunity to conduct inquires? So, does this now mean if you are not an approved person or affiliated with the correct party line that you can be snatched and taken out of the country or assassinated? Like a ghost in the night they can come and go as they please without question? So, where are all those that were complaining about the Patriot Act; oh, that’s right, they are in power now…uhm mmmm-mmmm-mmmmh. So if they are immune, if you smash their faces in when they bother you, will they feel it? One more item, is this the beginning of Obama’s SS civilian police force, greater than that of the military.
Our constitutional rights cannot be removed by Executive Order. I dare them to challenge mine.
I suggest they refrain from coming to my home.
Glen Beck, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
2010 is going to be one hell of a year.
Some thoughts by Andrew McCarthy:

“This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States ..”
“Interpol works closely with international tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court — which the United States has refused to join because of its sovereignty surrendering provisions, though top Obama officials want us in it). It also works closely with foreign courts and law-enforcement authorities (such as those in Europe that are investigating former Bush administration officials for purported war crimes — i.e., for actions taken in America’s defense).”
Diplomatic immunity is used for diplomatic relationships whereby a person cannot be detained/harassed by the host country to help prevent strong arming. I can agree with that but not for such crimes as murder, assault or theft.
Giving diplomatic immunity to law enforcement agents or anyone not a diplomat is a violation of our basic civil rights. If he can grant diplomatic immunity to them he can grant it to any one including the federal, State and local governments, which he cannot.
If we are to be subject to armed foreign agents with immunity from prosecution we must treat them as hostile and deadly and take appropriate actions.
This is another act of war against We the People.
