An Inconvenient Truth

[SwissMercenary]

Apples and lugnuts comparison. International Courts are not the same as international meta orgs like UN and WTO. They are fundamentally different entities, both in charter and purpose. Their outcomes are also different, in the degree of binding judgments, jurisdiction, and accountability. Any US citizen worth his spit will reject any international court. The balance of power is not present in any international court system, and the Constitution's protections are only ensured under our own court system. Any American supporting International Courts as a place for an American to be "tried" is giving up his rights on the hope that someone will show mercy on them.

That is a fool's play, for all that our court system has its imperfections. International courts are fancy Kangaroo Courts of a profoundly political nature.

Oh, give it some time, and people'll get used to it. :lol: After all, they don't seem to have any problem with hoping that profit-oriented large-scale corporations will not need to exert their political influence in a way that will have a detrimental impact on them...

And I'd daresay that they have a far more direct, and quite arguably, significant impact on our lives.
