Whelan on Koh…

leave a comment »

Ed Whelan has a new post up on the dangers of Mr. Koh, this time dealing with customary international law.  It also contains links to all Ed’s previous posts on Kohl.

I note that I’ve already heard several  liberal pundits say that transnationalism means weighing international law when considering our own.  No, it means more like ignoring US law in order to use other nations’ laws he prefers.

Transnationalism –what you need to know…

leave a comment »

You may have heard of Harold Koh, Obama’s nominee to be the chief legal adviser to the State Department.   You will hear that the term “transnationalism”  is an epithet invented by evil conservatives to attack   “internationalists”  like Koh.

As Ed Whelan points out at Bench Memos,  Koh and his ilk have earned the epithet  by their disregard for American national interests.

Whelan is doing a series, so bookmark the site and visit often.   You won’t find clearer writing on the matter anywhere.
