CRUSHING BLOW TO AMERICAN SOVEREIGNITY: TRANSNATIONALIST HAROLD KOH CONFIRMED *SIGH*
Despite repeated warnings to Say No to Koh", Harold Koh was confirmed. This is a dark day. American sovereignty R.I.P. Say no to Koh? With a vote of 62-35, we didn't even say maybe. This is an indication that so few knew what was at stake and once again the media abdicated its role of public servant not Obama slave.

The future of American jurisprudence hung in the very balance. Koh opposes national self-interest. He is dogged and determination to advancing his views. He believes traditional sovereignty is obsolete. He has written critically of the very notion American exceptionalism.

Harold Koh Confirmed After Long GOP Delay
06-25-09

Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh was confirmed as the State Department Legal Advisor in a roll call vote, 62-35.


We needed 51 votes.


Koh was tapped for the job nearly four months ago, but has faced criticism from some conservatives for an alleged "transnational" approach to the law. But ranking Senate Foreign Relations Committee Republican Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) threw his support to Koh, in a statement Thursday: "After reading his answers to dozens of questions, attending his hearing in its entirety, meeting with him privately, and reviewing his writings, I believe that Dean Koh is unquestionably qualified to assume the post for which he is nominated."

I have been hearing a little bit about a movement involving various state reps joining and fighting for state's rights through The Patrick Henry Caucus. Mike Church talks about it on his radio show.
