    Remember when the Democratic party was responsible for creating and championing the ICC? (Bill Clinton)

    Remember the outrage when Dubya and co then insisted that the US be given veto power over it, and the outrage from Democrats over that?

    Because this Pepperidge Farm sure as fuck remembers.

      Kind of. Clinton administration participated in negotiations and signed the Rome Statute but was very explicitly critical of it and never sent the treaty to the Senate for actual approval. Official US government position and the position of both parties has been to generally shit on the court ever sense.
