The hard left, having failed to prevail through the democratic institutions of American life -- the executive branch, the Congress, the
court system, state and local governments -- is doing a dangerous end-run via the United Nations and other international institutions.
One example: two years ago, Jesse Jackson, Spike Lee, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, American Friends Service
Committee, the ACLU, and NAACP issued a "call to action" to Mary Robinson, the then-U.N. Human Rights Commissioner. In it, these
left-wingers asserted that "men and women of color [suffer] at the hands of the United States criminal justice system" and cannot get
a fair deal. So, they announced, "In our frustration, we now turn to the United Nations and have asked the high commissioner ... to aid
us in holding the United States accountable."
