Someone needs to check up on this Spiro, law professor at UG. Sounds like a globalist who hates the idea of US sovereignty, let alone states' rights. Texas should refuse to cave on this one. Every Mexican murderer needs to have his execution put on the fast track as of yesterday.

Some liberal professor ramblings from Mr. Spiro in "Disaggregating U.S. Interests in International Law" on http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=611101

This essay thus suggests a future in which international law is absorbed into U.S. law not because it is good - although it may well be that, too - but because rational institutional action will pull in that direction. This incorporation will occur in American constitutional law as in other areas, as international law ramifies through judicial and political channels. The essay attempts to marry Constructivist foregrounding of transnational actors with Liberal IR premises of institutional self-interest and domestic power-politics, sketching a new model of international relations under the moniker of liberal transnationalism
