That is why they established a federal government with specific and very restricted power and left the rest to the states and the people of each state. Franklin Roosevelt began the eroding away of those restrictions and the process has continued since. Barack Obama wants to create an authoritarian federal government with unbridled power.

We are not only introducing foreign statutes, but as you mentions handing over large portions of our government over to international bodies such as the Laws of the seas, banking regs, and soon I fear energy policy.

In particular, the L.O.S.T. Treaty comes to mind, as does then U.N.'s International Rights of a Child. These are just a few of many troubling international agreements, that if signed on to, would drastically limit our nation's sovereignty and leave the American populace quite vulnerable. Could Americans face criminal trials in foreign tribunals for alleged crimes committed in international agreement? This is a very slippery slope indeed, and putting ourselves in a position to answer to other countries value systems is nothing our founders would have wanted. I dare say its time for another revolution. James, this is a very excellent article, in that it addresses the serious issue of subjecting our Constitution to the whims of international law.
