    The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act, led by Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy, would require mandatory sanctions and visa restrictions on any foreign person working or providing funds for the ICC in prosecutions against the U.S., Israel or any other U.S. ally that is not party to the ICC.

    Oh no, anything but that.

      “you’ve seen our war crimes, now you’re no longer welcome here”

      As if you’d go be a tourist in a country, just after you’ve seen solders of said country commit, or politicians and citizens actively defend war crimes. Plenty of pretty cool other things to see.

      How does that work, exactly? Half the world countries are members of the ICC, and therefore, provide funding for it.
