The Bricker Amendment: The cure for the UN *Updated*
The UN is an unaccountable international governmental organization composed of, by, and for, the benefit of dictatorial, rapacious, and genocidal madmen. Its charter infringes upon private property, restricts rights, invents "positive" rights, and allows the enforcement of its expanded laws to be undertaken by unelected assemblies. It is in full contradiction of our Constitution.
There is an almost forgotten cure for its usurpation of our Constitution through unaccountable assemblies composed of the worst human scum.
The Supreme Court ruled that our Constitution could be over-ruled by international treaties, in several cases. United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp., 299 U.S. 304 (1936), for example. The courts held that our legal system could be based on a source other than our Constitution: the legal systems of genocidal, socialist, and dictatorial nations. In 1953, Republican senator John Bricker, outraged at this judicial activism, proposed a radical amendment which would once and for all retain the legal sovereignty of the United States, and prevent it from ever being over-run with the laws of foreign nations including the genocidal cesspools on the Human Rights Commission.
His proposed amendment reads as follows:
Sect. 1. A provision of a treaty which conflicts with this constitution shall not be of any force or effect.
Sect. 2. A treaty shall become effective as internal law in the United States only through legislation which would be valid in the absence of a treaty.
Sect. 3. Congress shall have power to regulate all executive and other agreements with any foreign power or international organization. All such agreements shall be subject to the limitations imposed on treaties by this article.
Sect. 4. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Bricker's bill would have established the principle of legislative non-contradiction. From the smallest level of government to the largest, its only purpose is to protect rights. A government which is properly limited, cannot embed itself within a higher level of government which disregards those limitations on force, without having first disregarded its own Constitution.
Bricker's bill would have established that the United States would be prohibited from entering into any international government which, like the UN, so clearly violates our Constitution. It would have made impossible the entrance of the United States into any non-democratic international government. It would also, at the same time, have led the State governments into questioning the burgeoning Federal government's laws as well.
Makes your mouth water and your pulse quicken, doesn't it?
The 83rd Congress voted on Bricker's proposal in 1953, and was defeated by a single vote when the Democrats and the Eisenhower Administration joined together to preserve the government's interventionist policies.
Here is the Wikipedia article on it.
Here is a brief history of the Bricker Amendment.
Here is a campaign letter advocating the Bricker Amendment.
Remember that there is no statute of limitations on amendments. It took 190 years for the ratification of the 27th Amendment. The Bricker Amendment, and its principle of legislative non-contradiction, is the first step toward cleansing America of the pernicious influence of intergovernmental bodies composed of unaccountable bureaucrats and rapacious dictators advancing anti-Semitic and anti-capitalistic agendas. The second step is to hang those dictators by their entrails.

"He's like a cross between Matt Colt of Eurabian Times and Hunter S. Thompson at his most lucid... Tom is out there running down the enemies of our civilization in a Ford Fairlane--steering wheel in one hand and a bottle of Wild Turkey in the other. Go and visit, but don't make him mad."
- Someguy
"Tom is a chinese communist spy! He has lots of cats and noodles because that is his primary food supply and who but a communist would talk about economics so much? Anyhow I am working with deep cover anti-covert intellegence guys right now to bring him down.
