What about the International Criminal Court? There are the members (the USA is not one of them). Would it have jurisdiction if someone with an international arrest warrant appears in a member's territory?

If someone is arrested in an ICC jurisdiction, can they be tried there?

As I understand it, the US has defeated its jurisdiction as a practical matter by sanctioning participants. But a new administration can simply allow the ICC's judicial progress to go forward. That's a lot of countries.

Erotica was a huge industry in early Gilded Age New York. There were publishers all over. This shocked the usual suspects and the Comstock Act (1873) sought to outlaw it. It didn't work. It flourished. Went underground.

Prostitution was also illegal, but it flourished. There were even guidebooks.

I got my start writing erotica. It was a way to get readers/feedback on the free site Literotica. Choreographing spicy scenes in the midst of romantic stories was fun. I then desteamed many of those scenes or eliminated them and turned them into more mainstream stories. It was a good experience.

That doesn't account for those who may technically be "Christian" but bristle at the notion of what "Christianity" has come to mean and those claiming to be "Christian" who couldn't tell a hawk from a handsaw.

Only in the fourth from the last paragraph is it mentioned that this second round of negotiations is per a law signed by Joe Biden.

"exceedingly limited" does not appear in the Google Scholar version. 143 S. Ct. 2065 (2023), which comes up with the 600 U.S. 1 cite.

I think state disciplinary committees might be getting busy. Forget pride. Have these lawyers submitting false declarations and sometimes themselves making false in-court statements no ethics? Or have all the ones that do left.
