1. In Medellin vs. Texas (2008), the International Court of Justice ruled that Texas could not execute a convicted murderer. The Supreme Court ruled that decisions of the International Court of Justice are not binding domestic law. The vote was 6 to 3 (Souter, Breyer, Ginsburg). How long before the Supreme Court throws out the Constitution?
2. In May, 2009 Spanish judges are boldly declaring their authority to prosecute high-ranking government officials in the United States, but our government has not protested this nonsense, akin to piracy, and has, in fact, accepted an internationalist atmosphere which makes this sort of thing seem plausible.

3. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended the use of foreign law by American judges,...American hostility to the consideration of foreign law, she said, “is a passing phase.”

4. "Obama Pursuing Climate Accord in Lieu of Treaty
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is working to forge a sweeping international climate change agreement to compel nations to cut their planet-warming fossil fuel emissions, but without ratification from Congress.
b. ....to be signed at a United Nations summit meeting in 2015 in Paris,... a deal to commit some of the world’s largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon pollution.
c. But under the Constitution, a president may enter into a legally binding treaty only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.
d. To sidestep that requirement, President Obama’s climate negotiators are devising what they call a “politically binding” deal....
e. Countries would be legally required to enact domestic climate change policies....channel money to poor countries to help them adapt to climate change."

5. Yesterday:
“President Trump let the world know at the U.N. today that he’s sticking to his vision of America-first sovereignty, rather than cede power to U.N. multilateralists — to their great dismay. Too bad for them: Mr. Trump’s approach is working.
“America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control and domination,” he told world leaders at the UN General Assembly. This country “will not tell you how to live or work or worship.” But we “ask that you honor our sovereignty in return.”
…vowing to “never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy.” Globalists at U.N. Rage at Trump
No wonder the Left/Democrats/Liberals are fighting, tooth and nail, against Trump.....
We are opposed to Trumpism, which everyday and in every way mirrors fascism. Trump is a danger to us and the world. He is a megalomaniac, a narcissist and an Authoritarian.
He is not a conservative, not a liberal, and in my opinion, and the opinion of many others (liberal and conservative) nuts. More precisely he does not learn from experience and acts without due consideration for the consequence of his words and actions.
That he is your idea of what a President should be, is not surprising. You have much in common with him, i.e. Narcissism.
When you learn to read, you can read about the modern Fascists here, you dunce.
Is this Bill O'really in drag? Do you believe everything you read, and only read what supports your agenda?
Trumpism is the modern day iteration of fascism. That's a fact based on history, not the history rewritten by people like you. Real history, not the fake stuff we hear from you.
There is no greater danger to our democratic republic than the rhetoric of mendacious narcissists; another thing you and trump have in common.
You don't read books, do you.
Powers is a well-know Liberal, but embarrassed at folks like you calling yourselves Liberals when you're actually Fascists.
And what are you? A patriot, hardly. You're an agent provocateur, unpaid 'cause you lack the sophistication and intelligence necessary to be credible - you attack everyone who expresses their opinion when it does not support yours. In fact this is another aspect, one more character flaw, which you and trump have in common.
