Yes you can. Go to another country, commit a crime and tell them you don’t accept their jurisdiction. See what happens. Hell slap a prime minister and shit in his cereal I’m sure they’ll just say Okie dokie feel free to go home.

You’re being an idiot. There are multiple thousands of examples of foreign nationals tried in a county that is not their own.

Molotov ribbentrop didn’t include Poland either.

They aren’t operating in America so they don’t need jurisdiction in America! The same way a court in New Zealand doesn’t need jurisdiction in Zimbabwe to try someone in hold your horses here… Fucking New Zealand! The Hague operates in the Netherlands and have jurisdiction in multiple signatory countries and again brace yourself… the fucking Netherlands you absolute brick skull.

It can, the results do not need to matter in the country the person is from because they aren’t in that country.

Yeah, no duh. We already went over this and I’m not sure why you’re not aware of that fact or seem to think you’re making a point.

Iirc we signed but didn’t ratify like a lot of things. That said the icc doesn’t care, if you’re brought before them they will try you if need be.

In the US most arguably. There is collective guilt to be had by the boatload around here.

I didn’t say impossible, it’s very possible. That said it will never happen.

Comments like mine don’t move it at all boss.

It’s not doomer, its accepting reality. No one said don’t try, I said don’t hold your breath.

There’s no hopelessness, no helplessness. We don’t need the icc to reign in our own country, that’s on us to do and dreaming of a solution that’s not likely isn’t helping anything either.

One is unlikely, the other more likely but less plausible if that makes sense.

You can probably get control but you are unlikely to find a politician to actively vote for something that directly sets them up for criminal charges.

No I wouldn’t. Don’t put words in my mouth especially if they’re wrong. Aside from that it’s a wildly different situation as no one risks prison time.

No again, I would not have.

Wrong yet again but fuck it you must know me better than me huh?

Sometimes your attitude is based solely on assuming someone’s position and then acting catty based on that flawed series of assumptions.

Won’t happen. Politicians don’t want their feet to the flame so it’ll stay.

That will never happen. The US policy is that if any US citizen is forcibly brought before the Hague the US would raid the Hague and reclaim their citizen. The only judicial system the us recognizes is it’s own.

I’d just pull the school roster and claim every single person attending is the opposite sex and their sex must be verified before using the restroom. Ie. No one can use the restroom and they’ll have to pull the policy because schools must maintain a publicly accessible toilet or they would have to make all the restrooms unisex.

Oh yes the bogeyman of the billionaire communists.

He probably means nuclear based because Tucker keeps rattling that particular sabre.

I’m ok with pardons to some extent. I just have an issue with judicial acceptance of preemptive pardons which are immunities that can only be granted by legislation and that’s ignoring actual immunities that also aren’t particularly supported constitutionally.
