To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
This is from the original U.S. Constitution, so we have always given ourselves the power to enforce laws outside of our jurisdiction.
- joering2 13y ago...on "Piracies and Felonies", you forgot to say. I somehow doubt you could call Pope or Merkel a "pirate" or "felon", but that's what its boiling down to. By spying on anyone US does not trust anyone because there is possibility others do the same thing... Its like a looped liar syndrome. Someone who constantly lies does not believe other people because if he constantly lies then in his world it means everyone else does the same as well. Sick sick situation.
