What a load of crap
editWhat is the First Amendment to Switzerland, or indeed any country other than the USA? To cite any American law as a world precedent is more than a joke, which is pretty much how the rest of the world sees America. Why hasn't anybody else seen this?

- They see it as a using an international body to circumvent a U.S. citizen's U.S. rights. Using these bodies as opposed to U.S. law bodies goes against what Beck has said about the death of the Constitution in this article. I though he was all for U.S. sovereignty.--66.110.236.187 (talk) 15:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if the first amendment was cited - I have yet to fully read the article. However, you could argue that a local nation's laws also had jurisdiction in a case before an international court. Regardless, there is the additional fact that that freedom of speech is an internationally recognised right. That could either be used as a reason why the US First Amendment should be considered or - more likely - be used itself, with reference to the European Convention on and/or Universal Declaration of Human Rights. At least, that is how I would expect it to go; to disclaim, while I have some legal connections I am not qualified in this area and would apreciate a qualified opinion on how such laws would interelate.

- The reason people haven't seen it this way, is because its NOT that way. The WIPO is NOT a LEGAL court, it is an international advisory committee that Glenn Beck is trying to use by his "one-up-manship" (sub)-standards, which only confuse the situation. Glenn Beck should have gone to US Federal court. HOWEVER!!, his attorneys probably advised him against it, as it would get shot down in an instant and immediately thrown out. SO DON'T GO BLAMING AMERICANS, just blame poor little Glenn Beck! 70.105.79.231 (talk) 14:55, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
