President Bush and the International Criminal Court

Find Law's Legal Commentary ^ | Monday, September 8, 2003 | Marjorie Cohn

[I_Publius]

Just another example of a college professor and the views they espouse. (Not that WE have any doubt!)

They are planning on pulling us into this, yet!!!

[A CA Guy]

No foreign court should have jurisdictional power over any of us.

[Always Right]

Why is the U.S. so upset about the ICC statute?

Are these people for real? The US doesn't want US citizens tried by terrorists, which is what is gonna happen.

Read the September 8 issue of The New Amerian, page 6:

"UN Favors Homosexual Agenda"
...
[During a panel discussion, Paula Ettrick, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGHLRC), discussed the coming "showdown with religion,]
...
[Princeton University professor Anthony Appiah suggested limiting religious freedom becuase of the numerous anti-homosexual religious groups.]


LIMITING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM??????

[Right Wing Professor]

executive vice president of the National Lawyers Guild

Explicitly marxist organization.

[alwaysconservative]

Where is the barf alert? This is just sickening!

[wgeorge2001]

"The U.S. vehemently objects to this. But in fact, it's nothing new. Under well-established principles of international law, the crimes prosecuted in the ICC - genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression - are crimes of universal jurisdiction."


This is why I hate the liberals and thier twisted logic; they would sell America not the hands of worldwide dictators, madmen,liars, and fools and not even give a half damn ,until Gestapo I.C.C. agents took a person they loved in their family into custody for trial for being a soldier of the U.S. military and fighting in any of the countries we fight in.
Ignorance is bliss and the liberals are lala land dwellers.

"So far, the crime of aggression, in this context, remains undefined."

Uh, OK. We're supposed to sign something agreeing to allow ourselves to be prosecuted for something that's not even defined yet.

So let me paraphrase her argument:

"We just don't understand why the U.S. doesn't agree to let us work them over, and hand over their sovereignty so we can make them do what we want. Why doesn't the U.S. see that it's in their self interest to allow us to destroy them and everything they stand for and believe in? It's plainly pathological and irrational."

[Russell Scott]

Hey Majorie, when the U.N. has tried, convicted, and executed Arafat, one of the biggest criminals on the planet, get back to me about its effectiveness.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Maybe Marjorie's happy playing the part of the slobbering little happy puppy but I, personally, will never bow to a foreign power.

And will never respect Americans who do.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Plainly, invasions that are neither sanctioned by the Security Council, nor undertaken in immediate self-defense (as the U.N. Charter allows), would count as "aggression." And the Iraq war was just such an invasion."

By this definition, so was the war in Kosovo, which she fails to mention.

[Mike Darancette]

I am protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States why would I want to lose that protection?

[VRWC_minion]

has put its pigheaded opposition to

One would think a professor would open her argument with their strongest case for their posistion. If calling the opposistion names is the best argument a college professor is capable of making, then we are in trouble. Further, if this professor leads by example then I assume she gives A's on posistion papers which use the most name calling.

[Constantine XIII]

Want to irritate the 20 million deer-rifle army?

Try to prosecute an American on US soil.

bangity bangity bump!

[MontanaBeth]

If we ever let our country be judged by this amoral, hypocrites, I will leave this country forever. The fat lady will have sung.

[MontanaBeth]

excuse me-judged by these-When I'm upset my fingers don't listen to me. That article really upset me.

[Right_in_Virginia]

The United States should apologize for its misguided Iraq war, end its occupation, allow the U.N. to take over with a multilateral peacekeeping force, and lend its wholehearted support to the ICC in the future.

You, Ms. Cohn, should start medication to reintroduce you to reality.

Idiot.

[cardinal4]

No foreign court should have jurisdictional power over any of us.

What type of person would want this? It is unbelievable that there are Americans who dont put America first. There is no conceivable reason for an American to give up constitutionally guaranteed due process, to some America hating Euro. But they do! There are Americans who hate America so much, that the ICC doesnt faze them.
