Corsi Posted Jun 19, 2006 The Bush Administration is pushing to create a North American Union out of the work on-going in the Department of Commerce under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in the NAFTA office headed by Geri Word. A key part of the plan is to expand the NAFTA tribunals into a North American Union court system that would have supremacy over all U.S. law, even over the U.S. Supreme Court, in any matter related to the trilateral political and economic integration of the United States, Canada and Mexico. Right now, Chapter 11 of the NAFTA agreement allows a private NAFTA foreign investor to sue the U.S. government if the investor believes a state or federal law damages the investor’s NAFTA business. Under Chapter 11, NAFTA establishes a tribunal that conducts a behind closed-doors “trial” to decide the case according to the legal principals established by either the World Bank’s International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes or the UN’s Commission for International Trade Law. If the decision is adverse to the U.S., the NAFTA tribunal can impose its decision as final, trumping U.S. law, even as decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. U.S. laws can be effectively overturned and the NAFTA Chapter 11 tribunal can impose millions or billions of dollars in fines on the U.S. government, to be paid ultimately by the U.S. taxpayer.h ****American Union Would Trump U.S. Supreme Court**** http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=15623   Montagnard Citizen Username: Montagnard Post Number: 1967 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 - 11:49 pm:        The U.S. is not considered to be a reliable treaty partner by either Canada or Mexico. A move to strengthen NAFTA legal provisions might be useful.   Dogbert Citizen Username: Dogbert Post Number: 116 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Thursday, June 22, 2006 - 7:14 am:        How do you feel about the International Criminal Court, which would also "bypass the supreme court"   Foj Citizen Username: Foger Post Number: 1547 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Thursday, June 22, 2006 - 9:21 pm:        I think NAFTA & CAFTA both need to be repealed.
