The twenty-first century will witness an epic struggle between the forces of global governance and American constitutional democracy. Transnationalists in the United Nations and in the European Union, but more importantly among America’s leading elites, are seeking to establish a “global rule of law.” The more sophisticated transnationalists realize that their goal could be achieved [...]
