Second, does anyone here actually believe that the B. Obama administration, with eyes for a second term, like every other administration, but also with the same concern for preserving the presidency's powers as every other administration, will stand back and permit foreign judges on quixotic missions to judge American foreign policy and high-ranking American foreign-policy officials in foreign courts?


No.

Neither will he drop marijuana down to Schedule 3 or 4.

Neither will he withdraw from Iraq.

Neither will he accomplish significant entitlement reform.

Yes he will withdraw from Iraq.

But as far as the rest of this thread, the title, no.

Even if they want to they wont. Just look at another case:

The leader of Sudan has a warrant out for his arrest, and since the warrants issue he has travelled abroad 5 times.

No one is arresting him and no one will. The international court system in itself has no teeth unless military force is brought to bare.


If you call leaving 50,000 troops in Iraq a withdrawal, then yes, he'll withdraw.

The Spanish magistrate apparently believes that it can be a crime for American officials to offer the wrong kind of advice to a president of the United States and, furthermore, it can be a crime punishable by a Spanish court.


If that advice is contrary to a ratified treaty and causes a crime to be committed against a Spanish citizen, then Judge Balthazar is quite right, and Mr. Feith is wrong. Extraterritorial jurisdiction can extend very far.
