That Balkans court tribunal is an ad hoc tribunal that is a whole different animal from the International Criminal Court. The ICC can't prosecute anything that happened before July 1, 2002.

But even so, it doesn't matter what court it is--as much as I despise Clinton, I would be willing to go to war with any country that attempted to indict a former President of the United States.

Even though this isn't the ICC, it still show critics of the ICC to be correct. This will be used against US citizens; and this is not allowed by our constitution.

True. No matter how bad Clinton or any other American has been, that is an American problem and not an ICC concern. Whether it be Clinton or another American, any attempt to try that person would set a dangerous precedent and open all Americans up to the whims of the ICC/UN. No way!

Id give anything to see Xlintoon behind bars, but not this way. As much as he deserves incarceration, I want it in a US Federal Prison.

Roger that. If we don't put the Constitution above getting Clinton, then Clinton will have succeeded. His entire term was an attempt to tear up the Constitution. We can't do that for him.

You kep saying that, but what is to prevent them from
doing just that?

Once they have the authority to bring people to trial
then they are pretty much able to do what they want. Who
will challange them? US? Sure we will.
