Our country is being run by traitors and con men. We need Nuremberg style trials after they are out of power.

Edit: This is my first comment to blow up this hard. Thanks all for the awards!

That would be a hilarious workaround the Supreme Court and Presidential pardons.

"We're powerless to stop you... But we joined the Hague, get em!"

Dont pin this on the ICC that they dont even recognize.

The ICC is the only thing that keeps them up at night as they have the Supreme Court in their back pocket.

Aaaber sie erkennen ihn nicht an und daher wird alles nur Papier sein, weil eine Auslieferung ist so unwahrscheinlich wie die Hölle einfriert.

I'm not sure if you understand, the not recognizing is the point. The idea is that there may be lower barriers to starting to recognize and follow the ICC rather than try to push through prosecution here where they are able to set up roadblocks like presidential "immunity", stacking the courts, preemptive pardons, etc.

Bottomline ICC cant do shit

The countries in the ICC can though, and the point is that if the US joined the ICC, there would be a mechanism to prosecute them through that infrastructure instead of having to slog through a broken US judicial system.

The if is the problem, even Barack Obama didnt want to join. So the chances are really slim here. I do get your point, I dont think they will ever commit. Or maybe they do as a failsave for another corrupt president?
