Law Review Article Reveals Mostly Blue Party Efforts to Help Foreigners 'Change' America's Regulatory Landscape at State and Local Levels



PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a new Temple Political & Civil Rights Law Review article entitled, The Extra-WTO Precautionary Principle: One European 'Fashion' Export the United States Can Do Without, international trade and regulatory lawyer Lawrence Kogan documents how America's Blue Party is quietly assisting our transatlantic cousins to reform the common law foundations of America's unique constitutional and free enterprise systems in Europe's continental civil law image.



"The unfortunate reality is that green-socialist Europe is increasingly governing the American way of life, that is, re-colonizing America through 'soft (law) power', unless our political leaders 'put country first' and act aggressively to reverse this trend", emphasizes Kogan. "Protectionist Europe has long sought to undermine U.S. product design, process and manufacturing methods by imposing on American global supply-chains and small businesses its costly, non-science-based and WTO-inconsistent environmental requirements which are also promoted globally by the politically unaccountable institutions of the United Nations." 



According to Kogan, "European governments and like-minded U.S. politicians have strongly criticized America for refusing to ratify European-crafted UN environmental treaties, and now call for fundamental domestic 'change' to rehabilitate America's image abroad." To facilitate this transformation, "Mostly Blue Party legislators and executives have opened up the doors of U.S. statehouses and regulatory agencies to Europe's collectivist, communitarian model of rulemaking, thereby placing America's individual rights-based federalist system and Americans' constitutionally guaranteed exclusive private property rights at considerable risk." "Furthermore", notes Kogan, "This sovereign incursion threatens to tilt the ongoing global competition between Anglo-American (negative-rights-based) and Continental (social-redistributionist) capitalism" in Europe's favor. 



This raises many questions to which the American electorate deserves clear and unambiguous answers. For example, "Will our current and future leaders defend, at the federal, state and local levels, America's founding principles which have enabled the U.S. throughout its history to remain a nation without peers? Or, will they simply decide, on political correctness grounds, to broad-brush these traditions away for the sake of 'global solidarity'?"
