I was replying to your question and including the stigma the ICC will have, even though the U.S. isn't a member of the International Criminal Court.

I've been away. Sorry for responding so late. I don't know the answer to your question. However, the stigma would still prevail over a person's legacy, n'est-ce pas?

However, the ICC can claim jurisdiction over nationals of non-member states, like the U.S., if alleged crimes such as war crimes or crimes against humanity are committed on the territory of an ICC member country.

Trump Badly Screws Susan Collins as Maine ICE Death Takes Darker Turn
Collins cast some recent votes that can help likely Democratic challenger Troy Jackson tie her to Trump and to ICE. And there’s evidence that both liberals and moderates will listen.

You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir: who was president while all this rigging took place?”

This pitiful, waffling woman has NO conviction. She's an opportunist, mindlessly following the Republican crowd. Susan Collins: "There's no doubt that ICE needs to improve its performance, but those who are calling for ICE to be abolished are ignoring absolutely vital safety work that ICE does."

In 2020, Trump was still president. He said the FBI infiltrated January 6th, "the deep state". IT WAS HIS FBI! It was his deep state! Furthermore, it was HIS election officials; HE ran the 2020 election!

Maine needs a sensible Democrat, a grassroots guy who may, for instance, raise sheep and who is sensitive to the needs and well-being of Mainers. Someone like that would be a whole lot better than Susan 'Concerned' Collins.

Between El Niño & warming from greenhouse gas emissions, a UN assessment last month said that the world's oceans were now in a deepening crisis; warming and rising faster. Our oceans are like a big blue heart that connects all living creatures. It's imperative we protect it for our own survival.
