Sagaar continues to make the statement, as are many conservatives, that international law is fake. Im sure many people on this page feel similarly because it is often broken and difficult to enforce when it is. However, I want to offer a point that to disregard international is to say you think the Constitution is irrelevant.

The Supremacy Clause of Constitution states: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and AND ALL TREATIES MADE, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."

When the text mentions treaties, it is referring to international treaties that the US enters into with other nations. Those treaties form the basis for international law!! Thats why, in immigration court, I can raise a protection against deportation by invoking the convention against torture an international treaty the US is a party to and a US court HAS to abide by that law.

If you say, international law is fake, then you have to explain why other federal laws that are coequal in importance under the Supremacy clause arent fake as well.

How is there already a segment on YT and nothing on locals?! 😭

Don’t worry guys, she/her is disappointing her father in heaven now 🌈

I can’t wait to listen to Saagar and/or Emily justify this murder of a US citizen by the legalized terrorist group called “ICE”
