Is there some precedent for this?

Or are they making up the rules as they go?

Well...that was a dumb question. Sorry, I'm having a blond day.

I always thought that one abides by the laws of the land they were in.

Here is to hoping that Gov. Perry extends a middle finger to The Won and the UN.

Yes, there is precedent for this. The Bush administation filed a similar brief in the Medellin case.
