SEN MIKE LEE: Trump proves America can stand up to a power-mad foreign court
At the very core of the American project has always been a fierce defiance of far-off powers, a stubborn opposition to those who would seek to undermine our right to self-rule or impose their will on a people determined to decide their own destiny.This spirit not only brought America into being but is essential for our nation to preserve its sovereignty into the future.America again defied those who would undermine our right to self-rule on July 13 when Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration would "dismantle" the International Criminal Court and teach them "the full meaning of American resolve."CNN LEGAL ANALYST CALLS OUT 'UTTERLY RIDICULOUS' CLAIM BY MAMDANI ABOUT NETANYAHU ARRESTThis will include diplomatic pressure on nations that partner with American law enforcement or our military and enjoy the benefits of our protection, coordination with allies to join us in rejecting International Criminal Court (ICC) authority, sanctions against the ICC and its affiliates, and visa bans for ICC personnel. I have pushed for similar policies legislatively, including the " ICC Out of NYC Act ," legislation that would forbid United Nations properties in New York City from being used, leased or occupied by representatives or employees of the ICC.The ICC, however, remains convinced of its own power to pierce the veil of American sovereignty and wage lawfare against American citizens, soldiers and public servants alike.

A global court that attempts to wield ultimate authority – above and beyond the authority of any nation state – poses a direct and dire threat to the continued sovereignty of the United States that can no longer be tolerated.As Americans, we wholeheartedly reject the notion that a supranational entity, especially one formed by a statute that was never ratified by our country, has legitimate jurisdiction over our citizens and our leaders. Constitution is our law and guide and none other.To forfeit the legal authority of the United States government to an unaccountable transnational organization would amount to a betrayal of the American people – and an abdication of our right to self-rule.An active and emboldened ICC means that American sovereignty is contingent on the whims of a globalist entity run by those who have never stood for election in front of the American people, never represented America’s interests, and never sworn loyalty to America’s Constitution.
