Representative Brad Sherman also said that the US should “think of whether we stay a signatory” to the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC.
The U.S. already isn’t party to the Rome Statute, and in fact has legislation on the books to invade The Hauge if the ICC issues a warrant for U.S. personnel.
This asshole is the guy saying we just don’t understand the complexities of the real world, and we should leave things to The Adults In The Room.
The Crisis of Democracy
Al Smith once remarked that “the only cure for the evils of democracy is more democracy.” Our analysis suggests that applying that cure at the present time could well be adding fuel to the flames. Instead, some of the problems of the governance in the United States today stem from an excess of democracy – an ”excess of democracy” in much the same sense in which David Donald used the term to refer to the consequences of the Jacksonian revolution which helped to precipitate the Civil War. Needed instead is a greater degree of moderation in democracy.
