Clinton could be tried by U.N. War Tribunal

Now Justice begins to come Around, on Commie Clinton! Ops4

[TADSLOS]

Actually, he should be tried in our courts for this war crime:

[wimpycat]

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.

[Cowgirl]

If clinton isn't the chief war criminal, who is?

[Tao Yin]

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!

[GotDangGenius]

Yeah, and the so-called "World Court" will indict Mickey Mouse for laughing insensitively at Donald Duck.

Can't thank President Bush enough for rejecting the World Court baloney.

Has anyone considered this- what statutes of law that would be passed by elected representatives would govern specific crimes that could be prosecuted in such a court? Answer=> none.

Legal problem is that the UN Charter prohibits legislation. The attempted "World Court" is nothing more than a bunch of left-over cold war Socialists gasping for straws to keep Castro's and Marx's failed theory of human behavior alive by fiat. That's what Socialists do- elitist, arrogance, anti-human rights nuts with a knack for failure to recognize a failure. Should be called "Ostrich-crats"- they do nothing but stick their head in the sand to make believe.

What the hell, indict Mickey Mouse... he gives legitimacy to the notion of a land of make believe, and Socialists just can't have people ever knowing they are part of it. Tom Daschle should write the indictment himself- the premier "Ostrich-crat"

By the way, why is it that the Democrats in the Senate are so dam opposed to economic prosperity and rational tax reduction for Americans?

Idiots...

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.

[Movemout]

Since Clintoon supported the ICC then we should make an exception and let him have his day in court. Be still my beating heart!

[Thane_Banquo]

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.

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.

[TomGuy]

In a related development:

Parliament given no say as Blunkett adopts arrest warrant (European cops can arrest in Britain)

It isn't a far stretch from allowing EU warrants to allowing ICC warrants. Precarious and dangerous precedents being set.

[sheik yerbouty]

Sometimes a cloud will have a silver lining.

[rangermedicswife]

Amen.

[wimpycat]

Yep, Clinton's an S.O.B., but he's OUR S.O.B. dammit!

[patriot action]

As much as I would like to see Clinton punished, I guess in principle I would support oppose this. It is hard to be on Clinton's side of anything.

[patriot action]

You are right about that!

[patriot action]

You are a man of principle!

[mhking]

One can only hope...

[Lazamataz]

As messed up as Clinton was and is, I would fight to the death against his prosecution in this Socialist/Fascist "World Government" court.

Screw these people. They will use it to dictate to America how we should run our country and affairs.
