Boxer Urges Quick Handover of U.S. Power to UN
-By Warner Todd Huston
Senator Barbara Boxer (D, CA) wants to speed the process of handing power over U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations as soon as possible by urging the State Department to come out in support of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The UNCRC imposes on all treaty signatories power over laws concerning children and, by extension, families. The largest portion of laws concerning children and families in the U.S. are state statutes so this treaty would, in actual fact, eliminate all family laws in the various states and hand the power over this area of law to the U.N. as per the Supremacy Clause to the U.S. Constitution (Article V1) that states that treaties preempt state laws.
Boxer is eager to destroy the entire lot of family laws throughout the country supposedly to protect “the most vulnerable people of society.”
But even the new left-wing U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, is aware of how difficult this process could be. Calling it a “complicated treaty” and worried over the “challenges of domestic implementation,” Rice would not commit to any time table to proceeding with consideration of the UNCRC. Senator Boxer, however, demanded a 60-day timeframe for the State Department to complete its review so that ratification can move forward.
Naturally, Boxer is in favor of destroying U.S. sovereignty by implementing this unAmerican treaty.

Here in the UK (your old ally, you know the place) we signed up to the UNCRC years ago, but it’s not part of our domestic law. Not one of the scares I have read in similar US pieces have ever occurred here. Indeed some of us want that incorporation so we can use the CRC to stop central government from walking all over our kids rights and over parents. How does the USA feel about having Somalia as its partner in not having signed up? It does, by the way, ensure that your Government would write up every four or more years a report on compliance, that people and groups in the US could challenge that, and that a committee of world experts would look at it and COMMENT – not enforce. Not one of the comments in our latest UK review had anything to do with taking away parental rights, nearly every one of them examined areas of government action or inaction such as the number of kids in adult prisons etc. What have to be scared of?
I have a headache.
Should I laugh or moan over this ?
UK mind your own business!!!!
Mr. Cosgrove. Hey, don’t blame us because you handed over all sovereignty to the UN. Don’t expect us to follow suit and allow the fetid, terrorists in the UN to control our lives.
By they way, you folks are FAST leaving our side as an ally and quickly becoming Londonistan writ large.
And… Mr. Cosgrove – there’s a teeny tiny thing thing in the US Constitution preserving STATES’ RIGHTS.
It will never pass, anyhow, courtesy of pro-abortion supporters like Barack Obama and the single largest group advocating destruction of family and usurpation of parental rights – Department of Human Services, Child Protective Services division.
There’s too much money in it for them to risk being able to swoop in and steal children from their families.
