FOREIGN LAWS -- Adds to existing law to establish provisions prohibiting the use of foreign laws in Idaho courts.

FOREIGN LAWS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The founders of our nation believed that the United States of America and its individual states should never be subservient to any foreign power, country or legal system and that no foreign power, country or legal system should be allowed to encroach upon our rights under the Constitution. Foreign laws or foreign legal doctrines can be a means of imposing an agenda on the American people by circumventing US and state constitutions. These foreign laws may not recognize our constitutional rights and liberties in US courts. The potential impact of using foreign laws and legal doctrines in US courts on the liberty of ordinary American citizens are as profound as they are despairing. The embrace of foreign legal systems, some of which are inherentlyhostiletoourconstitutionalliberties,isaviolationoftheprinciplesonwhichournationwasfounded. This legislation will establish statutory law prohibiting the intrusion of discordant foreign laws or foreign legal doctrines to protect Idaho citizens and preserve constitutional rights and American values of liberty and freedom.
