and I'll wager that neither do you.
My overall want is that the U.S. be a part of the global community of nations and accountable to International Law. That is why I am glad to see that there's a chance that this immunity resolution will fail to pass -- it's at least a step, however small, in the right direction.
For the resolution to pass would be a step AWAY from the right direction.
