We (the US) are above international law

[bigtree]

8. international law?

. . .the reason our political system doesn't recognize international authority over the U.S. is the insistence that our own system of justice outstrips whatever penalties that the world community would impose.

The challenge isn't to just abandon our own justice system and expect other nations to hold our politicians and government officials accountable, it's to force our own government to uphold our own laws through our political activism and advocacy.

We're not 'crazies' for expecting that, nor are we 'naive' for expecting that 'droning on and on' will advantage the politics necessary to effect the political outcomes we advocate.

The alternative is acquiescence; silence is an abdication to mediocrity.
