Posted by Sonia Tapu: But University of Illinois law professor Francis A. Boyle, an international law expert who has encouraged Native Hawaiians to press for independence for more than 20 years, said Hawaiians dont have to bother asking Kerry about the Hawaiian Kingdom. He said the State Department already addressed the issue in 1998 when he and David Keanu Sai took their case for an independent Hawaiian Kingdom before the U.S. Supreme Court. Boyle said te court asked State Department attorneys whether the Hawaiian Kingdom is a recognized sovereign and they responded with no, prompting the justices to throw the case out of court. With all due respect, I dont think asking Washington, D.C., to tell you what to do is necessary. Hawaiians need to decide for themselves. Any advice they get from Washington will be biased against them, he said. Boyle, who has been asked by OHA to speak about such issues at a June conference to help prepare for the aha, or constitutional convention, said he believes what happens at the convention will be a valid exercise under international law, given the large number of Native Hawaiians who have signed up to participate. **************************************************** My manao: So am I reading this right? Boyle is saying that whatever happens at the convention will be a VALID exercise under international law, given the large number of Native Hawaiians who have signed up to participate. Thus he is giving validity to the Kanaiolowalu registry? He is saying that these confused uneducated can validly agree to a government to government relationship and vote away the Hawaiian Kingdom? So how much is OHA paying Boyle who is not an international law expert but an academic to sell the Hawaiian Kingdom down the road? Will this be another opportunity for Boyle to sell his books and write another book on how he helped the US government permanently overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom? Wonder if Boyle who is Bumpys attorney advised Bumpy to sign the Kanaiolowalu registry, to become their spokesman, to sell out the Hawaiian Kingdom so Bumpys Waimanalo aina can become an Indian Nation under the US government ? Hmmmmmm
