Washington Post's Milbank: Obamacare Repeal May 'Violate International Law'
NewsBusters ^ | April 26, 2017 | P.J. Gladnick

Did you know that international law could supercede American law? In fact, Congress may not be able to repeal ObamaCare because it would be in violation of international law. That is the point now being made by Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank. He cites the United Nations High Commissioner on human rights as well as Article 25 of the Universal Declarations of Human Rights and article 5(e) of the International Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimation to make his case.

And if that doesn't convince you that American law should just be ignored, then Milbank pulls out Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights to ensure that Obamacare remains in place for all time no matter the burden it places upon the economy.

For liberals, international law takes priority over U.S. domestic law.

America is not under international law Milbank, you stupid lying leftist.

America is a sovereign nation under the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land.

I guess that means all the time before Obamacare passed we were international scofflaws.

This AM a headline was noted “UN: OBAMACARE REPEAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL” It was ignored. The UN has NO jurisdiction over US. WE should ignore the fraud assembly. Sic Nikki Halley on the jokers. UN has outlived its purpose.

That pussy Milbank should be given a colonoscopy with a length of rebar. If anybody to the right of Chairman Mao said the sky was blue, he'd insist it was pink.

I guess the ‘Russia’ excuse is old news, so now the leftists pigs will use the ‘international law’ excuse.
STFU.

I believe we have really come to a time that this kind of ridiculous banter is going to need to be called out for what it is.

The left does not want to abide by the laws of America.

This notion really appears to be a seditious movement and it is sickening. No one on the left wants to live by the rule of law or respect elections unless it is they who win.

Even when they win they are lawless, anti American and traitorous.

For liberals anything goes as long as it promotes their agenda.

Oh My Gosh!!! Bami is on the war path, going to the ‘international law’ to save his heart throb program...

Only problem is, the UN doesn’t RULE this Country the same as bami found out as all of his ‘orders’ are being removed...and hopefully soon his whole joke of a presidency will be erased, and his and moosebutt’s pictures will be removed and burned at the ‘witch’s coven’ that St. Hillary belongs to...

GET THE UN OUT OF THE US AND GET THE US OUT OF THE UN!!!

The Constitution takes priority over international law where the two are in conflict. This is because the power to make treaties does NOT include the power to make governing Law beyond what the Constitution permits the federal in the first place.

If the federal does not have a delegated power to do something it may NOT appropriate said power through a mere treaty. It is lawlessness that it pretends to do so.

The international agencies need to be taken down several pegs and some of these abominations need to be completely dissolved.
