"When we started in the mid-90's, and even right up until Rome in 1998, people thought it was going to take 50 or 100 years before governments would be willing to create a permanent international criminal court," he said.
and they'll probably post here downplaying the UN/ICC/CFR threat as they always do.

Many countries, like Germany and France, have had to change their Constitutions to ratify.
How horrible! Why can't they just ignore their constitutions like we do ours?

If people think this court is going ot limit it's oversight to genocide or war crimes, they should think again. It won't take two seconds for Jessie Jackson or Quisi Enfume (sp?) to bring charges before it seeking reparations and the like. This court is going to be used in ways folks refused to acknowledge before it came into being.

This is a scary, yet interesting proposition. For the first time in the HISTORY of the world, a Court will be established by international treaty, which will have authority and jurisdiction even over nations which DO NOT SIGN (agree to) the treaty that gives the Court its jurisdiction.

This is illegal, at best. Criminal at worst. (I suppose that's why they call it the International Criminal Court.... After all, it will only ever be used by CRIMINALS against the innocent, anyway...)

If this goes into effect, America should immediately retaliate by permanently withdrawing from the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. Unlike the European Fraternal Socialist Union, we don't need either organization to be successful.

Not to worry. They will also ignore obvious crimes like our justice department does.
