    Why are they so scared of the ICC? Under current US laws as passed by Congress it’s illegal for the US to send people to the ICC. And even if Democrats win a bunch of seats I don’t see them reversing that law since it passed with bipartisan support.

Which means they might enforce arrest warrants issued by the court, and that would put the US in the awkward position of having to invade the Netherlands in order to “rescue” them. It would be much easier for the US, if the court simply didn’t exist.
