I don't want it both ways. As I have already stated international law does not supersede our national sovereignty. NAFTA, CAFTA and other treaties are enforcable only because the USA has ratified them and passed them as US Law. We retain the right to change our own laws. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
What do you think all the ranting has been about here on FR?
Mostly ignorance from those on your side.
Your "counter" is too vague to merit a response. I recognize both Senators as opponents of the League of Nations. Is that your point? Can you explain how you believe they are related to the issue at hand?
Perhaps you could explain it to me like I'm an idiot and I don't automatically assume the sinister motivations of foreign countries who want good business relations with the USA.
I love it when you pseudo-intellectuals make fools of yourselves.
Next time you’re beating your chest and trying to impress do so in front of a mirror; you’ll be far more likely to find someone who will buy it.

I am always glad to bring laughter into the life of my fellow man. I see you still have no desire to defend, with any substance, your opinion. I will just let my earlier post stand. Have a nice day.
That's the problem. The tribunals' activities should not require a change in American law to be superceded.
so, how many years you think it'll take to change the lawS ?
If a majority of voters support a change in the law and the President and Congress does not, it takes less than 8 years to remove any offending politician. If the voters support a change in the law and the President and Congress support the same, it would take weeks or months to change the law. If neither the public or the politicians support changing a law...it ain't gonna happen.
At this time Congress and the President support CAFTA. I can only speculate about public opinion but logic leads me to believe few voters are strongly for or against CAFTA. For most people it is not an issue that effects their vote, because they are oblivious to CAFTA. Economics, and trade law are just concepts that don't touch them physically like crime, and war.
As the economy is good, and prices are stable I believe the cost of living is getting better for most voters. Because of this, most voters are willing to give Dubya the benefit of the doubt and support his decision.
