On Universal Jurisdiction...

Or how a judge thousands of leagues distant thinks he or she is fit to sit in judgement over someone outside of their hegemony

I'm still a "states have power" advocate. Also, reminds me of the time we had to debate whether or not "eminent domain was moral". One person tried to use the constitution. At the beginning of the debate, we agreed that since the United States was not mentioned in the proposal, we could not assume that this statement only applied to the US (and for that matter, moral != lawful).

So not only was the Constitution the epitome of all that was moral and good, it applied to Australia and England.

That..that was wrong.

Each nation must govern itself, or bend knee to another... if the nation does not bend knee, and methinks American aught not bend knee, then only by breaking the free nation can outsiders rule it, this is true regardless of who the nation, or the outsider is.
