First off we aren't a "super power", we are the sole "hyper power". We stand alone, those at the top always do.

Secondly if people here don't think there is anything wrong or at least questionable with the ICC in regards to how it undermines sovereignity and authority, there is no discussion to be had.

It's not that there is something to hide, it's just that basically this ICC equates to what is effectively what the left fears the Patriot Act does to America. Why should we submit our own sovereign people and elected officials to the wills of an appointed court, a court selected by a bureaucracy that at best is unfavorable to American policy? An appointed court that has no accountability to those that it rules over. It would literally be a spit in the face to constants of our own (American) justice system.
