First let me start by defining Crimes Against Humanity:
Crimes against humanity, as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court Explanatory Memorandum, "are particularly odious offenses in that they constitute a serious attack on human dignity or grave humiliation or a degradation of human beings."[1] They are not isolated or sporadic events, but are part either of a government policy (although the perpetrators need not identify themselves with this policy) or of a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. Murder; extermination; torture; rape; political, racial, or religious persecution; and other inhumane acts reach the threshold of crimes against humanity only if they are part of a widespread or systematic practice. Isolated inhumane acts of this nature may constitute grave infringements of human rights, or—depending on the circumstances—war crimes, but are not classified as crimes against humanity.[2]
Lets assume we all accept that definition, let me present a quiote from our favorite House of Representative Louie Gohmert;
GOHMERT: “I’m hoping that my governor will utilize Article 1, Section 10, that allows a state that is being invaded — in our case more than twice as many just in recent months, more than twice as many than invaded France on D-Day with a doubling of that coming en route, on their way here now under Article 1, Section 10, the state of Texas would appear to have the right, not only to use whatever means, whether it’s troops, even using ships of war, even exacting a tax on interstate commerce that wouldn’t normally be allowed to have or utilize, they’d be entitled in order to pay to stop the invasion.”

This is the source: I am assuming this is the exact quote: It has not been altered or paraphrased. If this is true its appaling and totally eregious that rises to the ocasion of "A Crime Against Humanity" Why are we silent? Because Gohmert is an A**hole? So we let is slide. Hitler was an A-hole too
Silence is Betrayal- Dr Martin Luther King?
Where is the outrage Where is Daily Kos/ Huffington Post , MSNBC, Univision ,Telemundo etc; Why does he and the GOP get a free pass? Does he know about the nurenberb trial? Too even "joke" about shooting 10 year children is an abomination. Why is no one taking this seriously?
