[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Murders of Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena

[SouthTexas]

I’ve lived long enough to not be surprised by much of anything, but it is high time we took those rights back!

[LIConFem]

"He’s already the de facto president of much of it."

This is as true as it is unfortunate.

[Still Thinking]

I’d vote for him.

[Anonymous Rex]

State’s rights, Bush needs to shut up.

[LIConFem]

LOL!! Me too, come to think of it! ;o)

There is only one way to do that. "Repeal the un Participation Act."

Our leaders won't do that. We can bitch and moan till hell freezes over but until they repeal it-it ain't gonna happen.

The first step towards withdrawing from the United Nations would require the repeal of the UN Participation Act outright. Repeal would require the closing of the U.S. mission to the UN, and the withdrawal of all U.S. government delegations. The second step would be to give notice of withdrawal from accession to the UN Charter and from the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

Are you aware that the un’s existence itself is a ‘treaty?”

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Sit down Jorge!....just ‘cause you have a cozy relationship with the Fox and have forgotten how many killers you toasted in Texas doesn’t mean the frying stops!

and from the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

Everybody catch that?

[SouthTexas]

Lol

People on FR scoff at the un. They underestimate our enemy when they do.

[SouthTexas]

Scoff at the UN yes, underestimate them, never.

Have heard several of the talk radio stations in Texas picking up on the ROT theme lately.

Appears to me, he is trying to protect Americans overseas...make other countries have to follow the ICJ and allow Americans to talk to US reps before being railroaded through their foreign court systems...on the surface appears bad, but the big picture may be something else. Just my opinion and NO I don’t care for the ICJ!

Then again he may be forcing the issue of rights with the US courts....

Not a battle worth stiring up without a darn good reason...

I believe this is a test case to see just how far the IJC can go.

Appears to me, he is trying to protect Americans overseas...

Don't kid yourself. If I go to England and break their laws, I expect to be tried by British law, not American.

Not a battle worth stiring up without a darn good reason...

To me the reason is obvious.
