<<Surprisingly to most people, there IS such a body of law. The World Court, the U.N., etc. derive their powers precisely in the same way as the U.S. Congress does -- from the consent of the governed. Not such a bad system, IMO.>> And as I said before, I didnt vote for any UN representatives. And I challenge you to find one US statute that defers the national authority of our elected representatives and the US Constitution to that of the UN. We cooperate with the UN, but there is no binding legal authority that compels the US government to obey and it is debatable whether such a deferment would even be Constitutional.
