When you go to court you are being judged by an already existing set of laws. <BR/><BR/>There is an analogy though. In the course of a legal action you can make binding stipulations to a court and then be bound by those as "the law of the case." If your opponent agrees to a set of stipulations and you agree to some and reject others that is sort of like a nation making reservations to a treaty. Assuming they are not contrary to a higher law, both are binding because promises should be kept.Professor McConnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555772215539761119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19465889.post-1158355522582976562006-09-15T14:25:00.000-07:002006-09-15T14:25:00.000-07:00Mr McConnell,If The Senate can ratify the treaty "...Mr McConnell,<BR/><BR/>If The Senate can ratify the treaty "With Reservations," shouldn't an individual be able to do the same when compelled to show up in court?Ben Bush Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802976942724293941noreply@blogger.com
