The Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act aims to impose sanctions on individuals associated with the International Criminal Court (ICC) if they attempt to prosecute U.S. or allied persons. The bill outlines specific sanctions and provides mechanisms for enforcement and oversight, but raises constitutional concerns regarding separation of powers and due process.

How the methodology works →

The Quiet Ledger grades legislation on its content. A bill grade is analysis of the bill — not a grade of its sponsor or of any member who voted on it.
