By ceding part of our sovereignty, he is now a traitor.

As National Review Online's Andy McCarthy put it, the White House must answer these questions: Why should we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files that will be beyond the scrutiny of Congress, American law enforcement, the media, and the American people?

If this isn't grounds for impeachment then I surely don't know what could be. I'm also very curious to know why US law enforcement isn't enraged and beating down the doors of the SCOTUS over this, after all it virtually emasculates them. Up until now they've all enjoyed a lovey dovey relationship with Interpol, now they're subservient to it in every sense of the word and cut off from whatever Interpol chooses not to share. The lack of outcry is deafening.

I'm not a legal scholar, so I have held off on making rash judgments about this move by the administration. However, it does have the potential to be the most alarming measure taken by this administration thus far...and, yet, no one is talking about it. Why?

This is scary stuff. Like Gris, I'm no legal scholar, but this just doesn't seem right. Can anyone come up with a rationalization for this; even a fictional rationalization that sounds good?
