Constitutional problems with international courtsBy Eugene Kontorovich October 1 at 1:43 PM The Cornell Law Review has just published my new article, “Three International Courts and Their Constitutional Problems.” The article considers the constitutionality of joining the International Criminal Court in light of largley forgotten debates over two prior international tribunals: the Mixed Commissions for the slave trade in the early 19th century, and the International Prize Court in the early 20th Century. The U.S. ultimately signed onto both projects, but only after changing their scope or jurisdiction to comport with constitutional concerns. The paper lies at the intersection of international law, constitutional law, and foreign relations. But really its a federal courts paper: the fundamental question is when can the government delegate jurisdiction over core judicial business to non-Article III courts – or even non-U.S. courts. www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/10/01/constitutional-problems-with-international-courts/

Man only has those freedoms he is willing to defend to the death! That was all before Obama modified the Foreign Organizations Act to give Interpol, and the World Court access to the States.
