Outrage: Obama Admin Says Texans Can't Arrest UN Observers Even If They Violate Law

[Dick Tuck]

You stupid bunch of wingnut assholes. You haven't yet figured out that OSCE is not the UN. You haven't yet figured out that our membership in the organization was signed by GWH Bush in 1990. You fucking morons are too stupid to realize that American signed treaties trump some tin foil state laws.

Now go and fucking secede, Texas. Good fucking riddance. On your own, you'll be back as part of Mexico in no time, and the Real Americans won't have to put up with your chauvinistic belief in your own exceptionalism.

 

[OKTexas]

Greg Abbott wants to be governor, he will bust these observers if they screw up. Maobama told us we couldn't put a needle in the arm of an illegal that killed two teenaged girls, even took us to court, ultimately we sent the illegal home in a box.

 

[cereal_killer]

This is clearly wrong. These 'Observers' should be sent packing.

It's BS and infuriating. How is this happening in the US. People on BOTH sides of the fence should be upset.

Bush....Bush....oh yea, I remember him, went from 90% approval to losing to Clinton in less than two years. Fuck him and his signing away even the slightest bit of sovereignty.

 

[High_Gravity]

One step closer to NWO Globalist control. It's very sad.

The UN isn't tough enough to exert that kind of control though, they would need to have our own Military do it, those blue helmets get smacked around in every country they go to.

You stupid bunch of wingnut assholes. You haven't yet figured out that OSCE is not the UN.

You're either a liar or borderline criminally stupid.

The OSCE is an ad hoc organization under the United Nations Charter (Chap. VIII)

Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh, and GHWB was a globalist, warmongering, neocon tool, so his signing on with U.N .internationalist meddling and do-goodery comes as no surprise.

There is no treaty, OSCE stands for "Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe" and last I looked, Texas is not in Europe. Just look at wiki.

I agree, they need to get the fuck outta here, send them to Havana.

Why am i not surprised this Administration would take this stance? 'President of the World' for ya i guess. Is it Election Day yet? Can't come soon enough. Time for a President of the United States of America.


In a development that should outrage every red-blooded, patriotic American, the Obama Administration announced that international observers in the United States cannot be arrested by state law enforcement even if the United Nations representatives violate state law.

As we publicized earlier this week, “United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups.” [Click on this "Limited Election Observation Mission to the United States of America" list to see where the international observers will be deploying in your state.]

Unlike Alaska’s current passivity, Texas confronted this offensive intrusion by international observers with a warning from its Attorney General’s office: “[G]roups and individuals from outside the United States do not have jurisdiction to interfere with Texas elections.” The Attorney General himself also threatened that,

individuals from outside the United States are not allowed to influence or interfere with the election process in Texas. This State has robust election laws that were carefully crafted to protect the integrity of our election system. All persons—including persons connected with OSCE—are required to comply with these laws.

Elections and election observation are regulated by state law. The Texas Election Code governs anyone who participates in Texas elections—including representatives of the OSCE. The OSCE’s representatives are not authorized by Texas law to enter a polling place. It may be a criminal offense for OSCE’s representatives to maintain a presence within 100 feet of a polling place’s entrance. Failure to comply with these requirements could subject the OSCE’s representatives to criminal prosecution for violating state law...

Arrest them anyway, who cares what a socialist un butt kissing potus says.

 

[daveman]

Why are they defensive? What do they have to hide?

One could ask the same questions of those who oppose voter ID.

 

[AmericanFirst]

These international observers can be counted on to obey the law, but you cannot say that about the conservative groups that are the vocal opponents to allowing them around. Why are they defensive? What do they have to hide? A free and fair election should stand up to any amount of scrutiny.

Spoken like a true America haating libtarded idiot. The UN has NO business observing our elections.

Outrage: Obama Admin. Says Texans Can

A "storm in a teacup", at best.....


The reolution is as follows: “Since the initial issue with Texas we've received a letter, both for Secretary Clinton and one for Texas authorities, from the OSCE assuring us and Texas authorities that the OSCE observers are committed to following all U.S. laws and regulations as they do in any country where they observe elections and they will do so as well in Texas,” Nuland said. "To my knowledge [Texas] is the only state that came forward and said 'please reassure us that you're going to follow our state electoral law.' And they have now been reassured."

They probably have diplomatic immunity.

You mean they have no business observing republican election rigging in action. If they are doing nothing shady they would not care, in fact they would be proud to display their perfection of democracy to the world.

So, what were the issues in the last 5 US elections monitored by the OSCE that lead to concerns of criminal acts?

 

[lukelk]

Wait wait, didn't republicans want un election officials in.....Iraq,Afganastan and other places? The answer is, yes. So what makes it different for the united states, don't you want fair elections? Just like we expect other countries to do?
