The United States has "unsigned' the 1998 Rome Treaty that would put America under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court treaty that Bill Clinton signed on Dec. 31, 2000.
The Bush administration took the unprecedented step of "unsigning" an international treaty because, well, simply put, it doesn't trust the international community. Dubbed the "Rome Treaty," it puts signatory nations under the jurisdiction of the International Court at the Hague, grants ICC prosecutors extraordinary powers and grants ICC officials lifetime immunity.
The Rome Treaty would give the ICC the right to review U.S. court decisions and re-try individuals if the ICC determines decisions "were not conducted independently or impartially," or were for the purpose of "shielding the person concerned from criminal responsibility."
The ICC also does away with rights granted Americans under the Constitution, like the right to confront one's accusers, due process, trial by jury, a public and speedy trial by an impartial jury, and protection from cruel and unusual punishments. So Bush "unsigned" it.

He left the White House without leaving fingernail marks on the doorjambs, etc. You may recall, he had the doorknobs removed and tossed into a U-Haul along with the furniture, the draperies, the chandeliers, etc. etc.

"Our rights are not granted to us by the Constitution or any other man made decree or document. "
Exactly.
Some of the opposition to the passage of the Bill of Rights was specifically based on the premise that the Government Has No Power to Grant us ANY Rights.
*** Our Rights are and will always be ours. The government does NOT and cannot 'grant' them to us.
*** The Bill of Rights LIMITs and RESTRAINS the Federal Government from Taking our rights. It NEVER granted ANYTHING.
Now, having said that, the Bill of Rights 'guarantees' our already existing rights.
Article 10 mystifies the modern leftist judiciary. They cannot comprehend it... so they ignore it. It doesn't "exist" in modern law.
What is this "incomprehensible" amendment?
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
To: Jim Robinson
Jim,
A fantastic move by George Bush. He has done a few things like this that thrill the heart of a Republican.

(Not Article 10)...
The 10th Amendment mystifies the modern leftist judiciary. They cannot comprehend it... so they ignore it. It doesn't "exist" in modern law.

"The 10th Amendment mystifies the modern leftist judiciary. They cannot comprehend it... so they ignore it. It doesn't "exist" in modern law." Nor do amendments 1-9.

LOL!
But I think that was the staff. The furniture and fixtures were STOLEN from the WH (which no one in the media can seem to remember) directly by the Klintoons and then VERY sheepishly returned.
Once trailer trash, always trailer trash.

Actually, I believe the men in black robes have interpreted the 14th amendment to mean that it grants them supreme power over the other branches, over the states and over the people.
