To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
Furthermore; the United Nations Charter on Human Rights is, also, the Supreme Law of the Land:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; 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 notwith-standing.
We can go after pirates, true. That has nothing to do with moral obligation towards spreading democracy across the globe. So I don't really know what the **** you were trying to convey there.
We are also allowed to sign treaty, and so long as war isn't declared that treaty is considered law of the land. Did we sign a treaty that said it is the United States moral obligation to police the world and bring democracy to all? Cause I think I missed that one if we did.
So two swings and two misses. What else?
