Putin gives Russian Constitution priority over international court rulings
RT ^ | December 15, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 12/15/2015 4:49:09 PM PST by Navy Patriot

President Vladimir Putin has signed into law the bill allowing the Constitutional Court to overrule the decisions of international courts if such decisions contradict the principle of supremacy of the Russian Constitution.

The new act published on the government website on Tuesday reads that the Constitutional Court will look into every decision of any intergovernmental body based on an international treaty and find if it matches the Russian Constitution and the rights and freedoms guaranteed by it. Upon such consideration the Constitutional Court can allow the decision to be executed in Russia, in full or in part, or ban its execution - also in full or in part. The ban would automatically cancel any national acts allowing the execution of the unconstitutional ruling.

My goodness, Russians think their Constitution is superior to international courts inside Russia.

The nerve.

Russia Today (RT)? Well, what else should we expect from a devoted Putinista like you, so-called "Navy Patriot".

"RT [Russia Today] has been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[10][11][12] and its foreign policy[10][11][13][14] by former Russian officials[15] and by news reporters,[16] including former RT reporters.[17][18][19]

It has also been accused of spreading disinformation.[20][21][22]

The United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has threatened RT with sanctions because of repeated violations of its rules on impartiality.[23]

The network states that it offers a 'Russian perspective' on global events.[24]"

Obama is seeking to do the opposite.

In the past several years there have been countless indicators that Putin does what obama should do.

It’s astonishing that Russia has claimed the more forward-looking place in the world, while obama aims low and achieves nothing in his defeatist battle to bring cultural Marxism and economic socialism to the US.

Yep, Obama is cleverly rewording Treaty language to avoid the Treaty process requirement of "Senate Advice and Consent", thus making Executive Orders of foreign law binding on US Courts, Prosecutors and law enforcement.

This is the "Executive Action Gun Control" Obama intends to implement.

I feel like the world has turned upside down.

At least Putin is doing what is right for his own country. Unlike the US and European Union.

Actually, Putin has had a lot of help from a wide swath of Russian citizens, legislators, judges and Russian civic organizations.

There has been long and deep dissatisfaction in Russia with the Yeltsin constructed Constitution. Neither Yeltsin or those who advised him are popular or respected in Russia.

And, please, please, please, send the UN packing to a nice place in Uganda or Southern Sudan and cancel our membership to that anti-American organization.

Putin, as he well should, puts the interest of his nation first. Compare this with analysis of a speech by someone, many consider a Muslim traitor/plant, of a nation he represents:

Obama Spends 27 Percent Of Speech Scolding Americans On Guns, Racism; 8 Percent On ISIS Threat
