From what I understand, one objection is that trying an American citizen in an international court violates the right to due process. How? There presumably is a process defined by a treaty which the US has agreed to.

The other objection: ...implies that the Court does not have the power to try Americans for crimes committed on U.S. territory.

Is it not in Congress' power to grant jurisdiction to a court?
