It is Europe.. They have a history of Monarchy.. You don't like it? Tough.. It's their country, a sovereign nation, and not liable to the laws of the United States..

We should respect their monarchy if we go to their countries --- but we're not a nation of kings, we don't believe in them. What's so wrong with them getting treated like the ordinary guy?

What's wrong with them also treating our Vice - President, or their family members, or our Diplomats as "ordinary guys"??

Diplomatic Immunity goes both ways..

Do you approve of the idea that our government representatives (and their family members)such as Diplomatic Couriers carrying classified information can be summarilly searched, arrested, held without bond, representation, or contact with the American consulate?
Do you wish our Diplomats to be summarilly executed in some foreign country for "American War Crimes"??

I am not being extreme here..
There are bona fide reasons that sovereign nations have agreements concerning diplomatic immunity, and who has it..

American authorities are required to show as much respect for the law under which those treaties and agreements were signed, as those nations do for our own diplomatic officials..
