      Moral? Duty? This is AMERICA! We no longer NEED morals or honor. The Trump will fix it all, as long as you are white, you're all right.
      And if we have no morals, and we have NO Federal Law - it has been suspended. THERE IS A CHANCE.
      As long as he is on Federal property, an excellent argument to make is, " I killed Trump on Federal property. There ARE no laws on Federal Property as long as Bill Barr declines to obey them. So I HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIME, merely exercised my Second Amendment rights, as guaranteed by the NRA.

      The worst thing anyone can do, be they a person or a whole country, is to say "I'm done. I'm as good as I'll ever need to be. Now to just kick back and let history roll over me with praise and tributes neverending."
      Continual self-examination and improvement are necessary for "good" or "great" or better to happen, in terms of a person or country. And they also remain necessary to then sustain such positive outcomes. "A good guy" is not someone who does a few things right and then violates human rights all over the place, that immediately confirms you have a long, long way to go before being anywhere near calling yourself that truthfully. Not that Dump and his cronies know anything about truth.

      That wasn't the original intent of the SoL. Or of the French. The story behind it and its famous inscription (the poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus) is complicated. I encourage you to look into the histories of the statue and the poem in depth. Suffice to say that the SoL, being a gift from the people of France (paid for by public donations by the French people), was in great part intended to inspire the French people (then living under a repressive monarchy), to call for their own democracy; nothing about immigration actually from the French end of it. Pick up Ken Burns' dvd on the Statue of Liberty. Very informative and eye-opening.

There's also the fact that since the US is part of the UN Security Council, they can veto any case against them in the International Court of Justice, and they can veto many things going through the UN.

      No. The US withdrew from the Rome Statute so no US citizen can be tried at the Hague. But even if that weren't the case, it would never happen because the only the home country of the violator or a security council member can charge someone; so the US has veto power over it. We would need a president to resign the treaty then convince the security council member nations to go along with it.
      That's obviously not happening.

      The United States, as in, the original former British colonies, were never "built on ideals".

But the United States of America were built on the idea of "hey, a whole continent full of free land and resources (because we eradicated most of its native population) free for the taking, where large parts of the land out west have no working law enforcement and people can grab what they can".
