No I don't want any European court overturning U.S. laws.

The 1st amendment would obviously violate the human right to be safe from hate .

I would rather have our European allies as puppets/proxies in a greater Atlanticist alliance sort of similar to the Warsaw pact.

The idea is not a merger of countries but a North Atlantic Economic Union. The problem is that one country, the US would have a majority of the economic activity, make it top heavy. One gets closer to the same place by the US and EU over time reducing trade barriers.

The idea of the dollar and the Euro currencies merging is interesting, but would force a common monetary policy, which might be unpopular as nations have different ideas as to how to balance employment, growth, inflation, interest rates, and the like.

I think a free trade agreement (an updated version of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, perhaps) between the United States and the European Union, and a separate agreement with the United Kingdom, would be about the extent to which I support any kind of economic union.

Yes, there needs to be greater integration of the economies of the free world (to put up a united front against Russia, China, and their authoritarian allies) and the US becoming part of the EU would eliminate the pesky tariffs and other trade restrictions that the EU levies on US goods.

No, the USA has nothing in common with Europe.

Well, "nothing" is overstating it by quite a bit.

But I agree that the thread suggestion is a pipedream and will remain so for the foreseeable.

I would support USA abolishing the federal government and joining EU as individual states.
