International Courts vs. US State Law

Uniform Corruption through Institutional Inertia

Posted on April 29, 2015 Written by Vicky Davis, ChannelingReality.com

BREAKING NEWS:   Gov­er­nor Butch Otter is expected to call a spe­cial ses­sion of the leg­is­la­ture to try and pass the Idaho ver­sion of the UIFSA which call for state par­tic­i­pa­tion in The Hague Con­ven­tion on the Inter­na­tional Recov­ery of Child Sup­port and Other Forms of Fam­ily Main­te­nance.  Idaho States­man

There is a mal­ady that affects insti­tu­tions whether they be cor­po­ra­tions, gov­ern­ment bureau­cra­cies, non-profits, it doesn’t mat­ter.  The mal­ady is insti­tu­tional iner­tia.  It occurs when an insti­tu­tion has been oper­at­ing for many years with an estab­lished sys­tem of oper­a­tion.   Any sug­ges­tion of change is met with, “this is the way we do it”; “this is the way we have always done it”.   For the peo­ple inside the sys­tem, it’s rather like being in a trench.  They see only one way to go and it’s the way they’ve always gone.

Over the past month, I’ve been work­ing on an issue con­cern­ing uni­form leg­is­la­tion pro­duced by the National Con­fer­ence of Com­mis­sion­ers on Uni­form State Laws (NCCUSL) – more com­monly known as the Uni­form Law Com­mis­sion (ULC).  They are located in Chicago, Illi­nois.   The leg­is­la­tion writ­ten by the ULC is an update to the Uni­form Inter­state Fam­ily Sup­port Act of 2008 (UIFSA).   The require­ment imposed on the states by fed­eral extor­tion (with­hold­ing pro­gram funds) is that all states must replace their exist­ing law with the updated ver­sion of UIFSA.  The updated ver­sion includes ref­er­ence to an inter­na­tional treaty called the Con­ven­tion on the Inter­na­tional Recov­ery of Child Sup­port and Other Forms of Fam­ily Main­te­nance con­cluded at The Hague on Novem­ber 23, 2007.   Sim­ply stated, what this leg­is­la­tion does is to cre­ate a global sys­tem of Child Sup­port Enforce­ment under inter­na­tional law.  It effec­tively trans­fers sov­er­eignty of a process of gov­ern­ment to a Spe­cial Com­mis­sion appointed by the Sec­re­tary Gen­eral of the Hague Con­fer­ence on Pri­vate Inter­na­tional Law. 

For over a cen­tury there has been a move­ment to build an inter­na­tional sys­tem of law that began with bor­der issues between nation-states.   Andrew Carnegie built the Palace of Peace at The Hague to pro­vide a per­ma­nent loca­tion for the Inter­na­tional Court of Arbi­tra­tion that was estab­lished by treaty in 1899.  Tak­ing our think­ing about our coun­try back to the late 1800’s, if the intent was to build an inter­na­tional sys­tem of law, the first order of busi­ness would have been to build a uni­form sys­tem of national law first – and then to inte­grate that national law into the inter­na­tional sys­tem.   The Uni­form Law Com­mis­sion was founded in 1892 and since that time, they have been writ­ing uni­form law for the states with the states bend­ing to fed­eral pres­sure – ced­ing their inde­pen­dence and ours to the col­lec­tive that we call the United States.   Regard­less of the sig­nif­i­cance of the child sup­port issue in terms of the big pic­ture of things, the point is that the Uni­form Law Com­mis­sion has moved to the inter­na­tional arena and is writ­ing law ced­ing the inde­pen­dence of our nation to the global col­lec­tive cen­tered in Europe.   QED — it is … what it is.

The ques­tion is, what are we going to do about it?   My sug­ges­tion is that we put a stop to it NOW and that we shut down this sedi­tious oper­a­tion of “har­mo­niza­tion and inte­gra­tion into inter­na­tional law” through the cal­ci­fied sys­tem of uni­form state law.    If you don’t think there is a need, then con­sider this – how inde­pen­dent are the states from the fed­eral gov­ern­ment?    How much does the fed­eral gov­ern­ment rule our lives?   How many obnox­ious, offen­sive and oppres­sive laws has the fed­eral gov­ern­ment put on us?    Do you think the global col­lec­tive sys­tem of law run by Euro­pean social­ists and com­mu­nists will make things any bet­ter?   Will we have any more con­trol over gov­ern­ment?   Will we have an eas­ier time of deal­ing with an inter­na­tional bureau­cracy than we do with the fed­eral and state bureaucracies?

In Idaho, the leg­is­la­tion writ­ten by the Uni­form Law Com­mis­sion to pro­vide model leg­is­la­tion for the Uni­form Inter­state Fam­ily Sup­port Act of 2008 (UIFSA) was in Sen­ate Bill 1067.  It failed here due to the quick action on the part of the grass roots activists and the brav­ery of nine Idaho leg­is­la­tors who refused to suc­cumb to insti­tu­tional pres­sure that stopped the bill in the Idaho House Judi­ciary Committee.

The leg­is­la­tures in all the states are being extorted to put this model leg­is­la­tion into their state law.  The Uni­form Law Com­mis­sion has a web­page on the sta­tus of this leg­is­la­tion along with the bill num­bers in the respec­tive states (below the map).   We need a national effort to stop this leg­is­la­tion and to get it repealed in the states where it was slipped into law with­out notice.

It should be noted that in some states where it has passed, they have included an amend­ment or two.  Those amend­ments don’t change the essen­tial, objec­tion­able ele­ments of the leg­is­la­tion.  The issue is includ­ing our states into the sys­tem of inter­na­tional law through the inclu­sion of a spe­cific ref­er­ence to The Hague Con­ven­tion that lim­its the juris­dic­tion of our state courts and forces them to rec­og­nize for­eign court (tri­bunal) orders.

The states where it was intro­duced but has not yet passed include:
Alabama                               Louisiana
Alaska                                    Mary­land
Cal­i­for­nia                              Nebraska
Col­orado                               New Hamp­shire
Con­necti­cut                         North Car­olina
Hawaii                                    Ore­gon
Illi­nois                                    South Car­olina
Indi­ana                                  Texas
Iowa                                       Ver­mont
Kansas                                   Washington

The states where it has not been intro­duced include:

Michi­gan
Ohio
Penn­syl­va­nia
New York
Mass­a­chu­setts
Rhode Island (? Can’t tell – it’s too small)
New Jer­sey
Delaware

If you live in any of the above states and you care about our national and state sov­er­eignty, please con­tact ALL of your grass roots orga­ni­za­tions and call their atten­tion to this leg­is­la­tion.  The orga­ni­za­tions that should have an inter­est would be the Tea Party, 9–12, Eagle Forum, Oath Keep­ers, the Three Per­cent, John Birch Soci­ety just to name a few.    Tell them, this is not about child sup­port.  This is about independence.
