That’s my assessment of yesterday’s news that Yale law school dean Harold Koh has been nominated to head the legal adviser’s office in the State Department. As I’ve outlined before, Koh is a leading proponent of transnationalism, which would subordinate American national interests to perceived global interests. In his new post, Koh would be well positioned to turn his academic theories into reality—threatening severe damage to American sovereignty and subjecting American citizens to rule by a transnational elite of left-wing lawyers appointed to various international bodies.
Update: John Fonte has this excellent post on The Corner. And, further update, this one by Andy McCarthy.
