26. the Hague, the Hague?
Edited on Tue Dec-27-05 04:21 PM by darkworkz
uh, folks that keep bringing the Hague up should explain to the rest of us law abiding Citizens why we should forgo our laws and Federal Constitution and send (soon to be) Impeached, tried, convicted, US Citizens to a world(?) court, that's not in our constitution?

Are you saying that the US Constitution is not sufficient to hold law breakers accountable? Is there another agenda you're not wishing to talk about so you just say 'Hague' and hope others get on the bandwagon with you? Or do you just feel that we should do it to "get along" with the rest of the world?

It appears that there's growing sentiment in the US Citizenry to exercise the law, by and for the people. And the Hague doesn't fit in that equation.

Perhaps I'm missing something and the Hague supporters could enlighten us on how US law is deficient and the Hague is so much better?

on edit: If memory serves, the US Constitution was written, ratified, and implemented long before the Hague. So purely from a historical point (other Hague advocates points not withstanding) the US Constitution is the precedent and standard by which this situation must be ruled.
