JEREMY RABKIN is professor of law at George Mason University School of Law, having been for 27 years previous a professor of government at Cornell University. He holds a Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University and a B.A. from Cornell. He has published widely in newspapers and journals, including the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, the Stanford Law Review, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, and the Claremont Review of Books. He has also written several books, including Why Sovereignty Matters, The Case for Sovereignty, and Law Without Nations?
Professor Rabkin offers sobering words in the latest lecture published by Hillsdale College. He details a bit of the hard slog undertaken to establish the idea of national sovereignty, and warns us show quickly it can disappear, to our harm.
Well worth reading and pondering, as it will become an active question in our lives, as the Obama administration seeks to use international law to supercede American law.
