America and Americans broadly do not respect “international law” as an idea. We don’t vote for representatives in a UN House of Reps or UN Senate. And if we did why would we wish to be beholden to a majority rules vote when that majority combined might be inferior militarily.
America tolerates international law when it doesn’t interfere with our course.
The idea of a “one world government” is treated as a fringe tin hat conspiracy theory nonsense that no one is advocating for.

Why would you have your default as sort by controversial?
This is a motion to dismiss not an answer. That’s how those work. It is linked to by the journalist in the article.
Shame really great game
I have another comment on this post which may be helpful for you. TLDR Biden’s Admin had tried to protect trans people under the ADA via executive agency. Likely outcome is that will be reversed but the ADA (and similar or related protections) & IMO will not see broader impacts. This is because the law that passed Congress and was sign by the president specifically didn’t include trans people when it was signed (along with a number of other peoples most trans people would be offended to be grouped with).
Tldr tldr: this likely stops trans people from being in the ADA’s protection.
Full complaint is case 5:24-cv-00225-C filed in the US District Court Northern District of Texas.
It seems that the heart of the lawsuit is that the Biden Admin tried to get gender dysphoria to be a disability under the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and ADA by means of administrative rule making. The text of both of those laws as written *by Congress and signed by the Executive have clauses stating they do not encompass trans people. (Cites are in line 2 of complaint)
I’d wager the constitutional argument on the spending power is to preserve another option for appeal. Realistically I think they’ll probably win and get the Final Rule held to be a violation of the APA and struck down without the rest of Section 504 being touched. Their constitutional argument boils down to if the Final Rule isn’t violating the law the law is too vague to be enforceable.

Re-read my comment above. They only have power which we vest in them.
How can they listen to the voters if the voters never speak to them. My comment was not on the DNC or RNC but on the core of all forms of representative democracies.
Do you know the name of the member of your state’s House of Representatives that represents your district? When was the last time you spoke to your federal representative? Do he/she not answer your calls because they have to many constituents? Talk to people in your neighborhood about the need for more representatives in the house.
All sovereign power comes from the people. Read: you are that guy.
Shout out to the menial workers at Apple Maps who are going to have a crap day at work tomorrow because of the thing their boss made them do, so they don’t get fired and replaced by someone else who would do it.
I agree with the sentiment on Gulf of Americas. But I think the singular (and referring to land of both continents) makes more sense. Firstly because it rolls off the tongue better. Secondly because the existence of the ‘North America’ and ‘South America’ both imply that those lands are parts of a larger body of land called America. North America being the Northern half of America. While South America presides in the Southern half.
‘America’ being the United States is only reinforced by the fact that the United States is the most significant nation in global politics East of the Pacific and West of the Atlantic.
Saying it disproportionately promotes any type of content is hard to prove without first establishing how much of the whole is made up by that type.
The existence of proportionately more “right” leaning content than “left” leaning content could adequately explain the outcomes.
It nice to see a government address route problems like this.
Na the hardware store guys are chill
Yeah no one is fingerprinting a possession case.
A stateless society is one with a power vacuum. Some one will claim the title of leader and often it’ll be someone of little virtue.
This happens all the time. The party out of the majority proposes moon-shot legislation knowing that it won’t pass. Because they get to go home and complain about the bad (insert party name here)s who blocked the, probably unconstitutional, bill that they proposed. Then beg for donations so they can get a seat on an important committee.
