But aren’t you’re merely trading one supra-national bureacracy for another?
In my judgment, the United States has obligations belonging to no other nation on Earth. To subject the fulfilling of those obligations to approval of any “council of nations” is to renege our duties - in principal, and quite often in fact.
Why, for instance, should we await the U.N.’s approval before protecting our country? Or why should we await approval of a “League of Democracies” before freeing a people from tyrannical butchers?
We need to do what is right regardless of other nations’ opinions of us. We ought to be ignoring the U.N., not replacing it.

I share your sentiment. At the same time, I’m glad to see that McCain is not some pro-UN patsy. I think there is a good man inside there, who will not be as easily gulled as I had first thought.
As Hannity says, we can have a ‘seat at the table’. We can express our concerns about our Constitutional rights, etc, and attempt to influence him on this and other decisions. It will mean a lot of vigilance and defeats, but at least it’s better than having Justice Ginsberg announce that the “UN cops are coming tomorrow.”
