Obama's State Dept. nominee a 'threat' to democracy
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 6/25/2009 8:20:00 AM


The head of a Washington-based conservative activist group says President Obama's pick to be the State Department's top lawyer is "a threat to the great American experiment of representative democracy."

The Senate yesterday advanced the nomination of former Yale Law School dean Harold Koh for legal advisor to the State Department. Koh, an open homosexual, received the support of 65 senators, including eight Republicans, in a cloture vote. A final vote on his nomination is expected this week.

Conservative critics of Koh are uncomfortable with his trans-nationalism -- that is, his belief that distinctions between U.S. law and international law should be eliminated. Also of concern to conservatives is Koh's statement that one of his most closely held legal positions is "lesbian and transgender rights."

Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, says Koh is unqualified to be the top legal advisor at the State Department.

"Harold Koh believes that foreign opinions ought to be integrated into our law through the courts or through bureaucrats -- like what he would be at the State Department," she points out. "So in essence, he'd be going completely around the American people and imposing his selected views that come from foreign opinions and trying to insert those into our legal standards."

Wright also notes that Koh testified before Congress in 2002 in support of a "radical" U.N. treaty called the "Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women" (CEDAW), which would not allow any distinction between men and women.

1. Ah yes, OneNewsNow, home of track star "Tyson Homosexual".

Seriesly. They programmed a bot to replace the word "gay" with "homosexual" in all their articles.

Then the Olympic trials came along, featuring a sprinter named Tyson Gay.

FAIL. :rofl:

Figures they'd go out of their way to say "trans"-nationalism, huh? :P
