I spent twenty-two years serving in the Colorado criminal justice arena. I worked as a municipal police patrolman, a police detective, a patrol sergeant, and as a uniformed county sheriff’s deputy and detective. Following twenty years as a cop, I also spent two years on the other side of the Courtroom as an Investigator for the Colorado State Public Defender’s Office. So, I saw crime and punishment from both sides of the Courtroom. I spent my share of time at crime scenes gathering facts and evidence, then in Courts of Law, presenting the evidence and testifying under oath in trials.
Sometimes, warrant in hand, I actually kicked in doors and made arrests at gunpoint, but not exactly like this Clint Eastwood “Dirty Harry” operation. Real cops don’t get to do business like Dirty Harry did — but it is fun to watch his movies.
To convince a judge to sign a search or arrest warrant I had to first make sure that in preparing my affidavit for arrest or search warrant I had jumped through all of the hoops within the Fourth Amendment, which guarantees protection from unreasonable police searches of our homes, and capricious or illegal arrests. All of my reports, photos, and collected evidence were a matter of public record, available to defense attorneys through motions for discovery, to lay members of the public, and to members of the press via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Imagine now a foreign international police department that does not have to worry about the constraints of the Fourth Amendment, an agency that has license to bypass American Courts of Law, can investigate and arrest American citizens within our own borders, haul them off to Court in a foreign land...

Third and the most important one, is that the President alone can NOT make any laws and/or binding resolutions for the USofA, without a 60 by 60 Congress approval. Everything a President does is temporary and a political grand standing at best! "
Whew! I'm relieved...Nothing bad....Everything is fine...
What icebergs? Who cares as long as we have an orchestra....
Oh, the Interpol bogeyman.
Interpol is a bunch of fat European bureaucrats sitting around pushing papers and surfing the net.
Scarey.
You’ve been here all of 12 hours and probably missed the rundown on Interpol on FR. I’ll do the synopsis:
The fat Europeans at Interpol will NEVER invade America. Interpol is NOT an elite fighting unit. Fat Interpol bureaucrats would be HORRIFIED at the prospect of going into the American hinterlands and trying to disarm crack-shot hunters and combat vets.
Interpol fatboys are content to sit around, collect a fat paycheck and not put their fat asses at risk.
Questions?
There is no “right of the collective” Only individuals have rights.
They can have my guns, but I will give them all of the bullets first.
Right on...liked your update! If we go down it won’t be because we were loaded up into trains or because we didn’t fight..
Obama did? Are you sure Obama used a Bible to Take an Oath or even in using the Bible was he laughing to himself the whole time knowing he never had any Intent of honoring the Oath that was administered twice?
Redcoats!
our police and internal forces are not going to allow this, and the next president will kill it, you betcha
I can’t agrue that he actually took the oath or that the way it played out was by design. I guess I should amend it to read “ostensibly took the oath of office”.
No matter what, he is not living up to the charge of the office and should be removed because of it.
