"They readily accepted that, as an independent sovereign, the United States was bound by international law to the same extent as were the other “powers of the earth.” This much was made clear by the Declaration of Independence itself, which explained why it had become “necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them.”"
Total BS!
The 'law of nature(God)' and the 'law of man' are too entirely different things.
Talk about reaching!
Remember, this baloney is being distributed to our lawmakers as a 'guide'. Why is the heritage foundation allowed to 'guide' our policymakers? That is the job of citizens and constitutents.
