#1 "Republican-controlled Congress."

That has a nice ring to it. I like it.

#2 Well, Clinton did sign it - and Bush promptly negated the agreement, so uh, yeah - Donks love the ICC and think it's peachy-keen to have unaccountable EuroJudges plying their various Gov't's politics with the lives of American soldiers...

#3 Billy-boy did sign it but he knew better than to submit it to the Senate, especially after the Senate knocked down any consideration of the Kyoto accord on a 95-0 vote. I think he didn't want the same thing to happen to the ICC. While I have no love for the left-hand wing of the Donks, there are still a number of reasonable voices there, and I don't think the ICC would get 20 votes in the Senate.
