    That still reduces the executive to “just following orders” which is a principle that’s not accepted anywhere that follows the rule of law.

      That’s the beautiful part, apparently that no longer applies to the USA.

        Did it ever?

        America signed the Rome Statutes, but never ratified it, and eventually withdrew entirely. They wield “international law” like a whip, but don’t subscribe to it themselves. America is the epitome of rules for thee and none for me.
