The Administration is embarking on a new and troubling direction for our nation. Some are calling it the “Selling of America,” a surrendering of our national sovereignty and our constitutional framework, all in the interest of international cooperation.
Transnationalism is the new buzz word in the nation. It was first coined by Harold Koh, the president's nominee for top counsel in the U.S. State Department. Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is concerned about Harold Koh's nomination. Koh, who is dean of the Yale University Law School, endorses an "international-first" philosophy that puts the interests of the global community above those of the United States.
"He’s a transnationalist. He believes that the United States’ sovereignty and our judicial sovereignty should be subservient to the European Union or to the United Nations. I mean, if you look at what his written -- this is not by the way, you know, some are criticizing, that we are using this term “transnational” as if it’s pejorative. This is the terms he uses," said Sekulow in an interview with Fox News' Glenn Beck.
Sekulow says that Koh has written law review articles that say he’s a transnationalist.
"And I want everybody to understand this, what Justice Scalia said about 15 years ago. When the United States Supreme Court is determining whether something is constitutional or not, they are expounding on a Constitution. Europe does not have a Constitution, so applying European standards to the United States Constitution basically takes our United States Constitution and makes it a local law only to be superseded by the European Union. And I litigate cases in Europe," explains Sekulow.
What’s happening to our democracy? Our sovereignty? Our independence?
The strategy toward global governance in political and economic policies is obvious, even in the nominees the Administration chooses. Whether you look at foreign policy, economic policy or even top appointees to the federal government, there’s a focus on what can only be described as the ideology of “transnationalism.”
The Scriptures declares, "By their fruits you shall know them," in others words look at what they are doing not what they're saying.
Sekulow says this transnationalist approach is something America's Founding Fathers never envisioned and never supported when they drafted the Constitution of the United States.
Jay Sekulow is concerned about this dangerous direction. The ACLJ is working alongside their international affiliate, the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), to hold the new administration accountable. SIGN THE ACLJ's LETTER OF PROTEST.
