It's ridiculous that we're joining all these ISDS courts that hurt the environment and labor rights, but don't join a court that might help ordinary people instead of screwing them over.

It wouldn't really matter either way, given that the people it should prosecute in the U.S. our government would never hand over for prosecution.

Not a whole lot of US allies who aren't members. Ukraine? Israel? Saudi Arabia? Monaco? Turkey? That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of allies.

This is why the senate ratification rules are silly. It makes the U.S. look stupid in front of the entire world to never ratify anything because of a few conspiracy fearing wingnuts.

Yeah indeed. The Senate has been undermining its own country's diplomacy since 1918, for whatever silly reason of the day.
