Thank you for your reply.... it is not an issue of “ignoring” them but rather understanding their purpose.. The ICJ was never intended to “trump” U.S. Law — yet so many folk out there want it to do just that.... 2nd, the ICJ only has jurisdiction in cases where ALL parties in the case agree and “submit” to it’s “authority” —— what part of THIS am I missing my FRiend?

I don't know. Maybe the part where if Osama Obama gets elected and he and a rubber-stamp Democrat congress pass a law that we are subject to the ICJ, which is not at all impossible, then there you have it.
We made a very big deal about the sanctity of international institutions, indeed we sponsored most of them, from the UN on down, and now we can't get rid of them.
We're still the biggest and richest kid on the block, so we can do whatever we want most of the time, but that won't last forever. Give it a few decades and we'll have UN peace keepers on our turf. I hope I don't live to see it.
