"The Irish people have spoken; Lisbon is dead"

�Public opinion will be led to adopt, without knowing it, the proposals that we dare not present to them directly . . . All the earlier proposals will be in the new text, but will be hidden and disguised in some way.� V.Giscard D�Estaing*, Le Monde, June 14, 2007

And exactly the same tactic our president used to "pursuade" other countries to support the invasion of Iraq.  Has anyone else noticed that parallel?

Dyne, Have you watched this video? It has eight parts.

Ireland Saves Europe From Itself by Nile Gardiner

Extracted from that article:

"Despite the emphatic rejection of the Lisbon Treaty by the people of Ireland, unelected European bureaucrats are already feverishly working to keep the Frankenstein-like project alive. European Commission President Manuel Barroso has already insisted that other EU member states push ahead with ratifying the Treaty even though the Irish have rejected it.  In practice, the Treaty cannot come into force unless every EU country has ratified it, and without Ireland's consent the Treaty is dead. The Commission's nefarious strategy though will be to try to isolate Ireland and pressure it into voting again and again until it votes Yes. The United States, Great Britain and other allies in Europe should call upon EU officials to respect the decision of the Irish people, and abide by the democratic process."

Good post "beyond" but if US Courts don't support the will of the people in our own country, what credibility might they have across the pond?

How many election results have been overturned by the courts in the last half dozen years?

Our own government keeps coming back time after time after time until they get the "right" result or we're caught napping.

You are correct on all points. 

You'll notice the author of that article used the word "should".
