Ahh, I think that you might have missed something here...
Such a statement ought to be grounds for impeachment. As the Declaration of Independence said about George III, “He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...”
OMG!
TREASON!
As a woman, I have to wholeheartedly say, “No more women on the Supreme Court.”
For some reason, guys just can’t pick sane women to judge at the highest level.
That would be difficult as San Francisco would run out of buildings. At least we can require Justice Ginzburg to wear a burka all the time.
The prospect of American Courts deferring to foreign laws and customs in rendering decisions which impact our life is so chilling, so alien and so evil that any measures whatsoever to frustrate this are acceptable.
And I think Sam Adams, George Washington and Thomas Paine would agree.
Actually, in those early days we often looked to British court because our courts hadn't built up much precedent. And we still do it. The recent McDonald majority decision cited Blackstone, a British judge who died around the time of our revolution, on the issue of the right to self defense.
NO you unqualified twit!
Oh, does that make you a qualified twit?
Somehow, I don’t believe Bader-Ginsberg was thinking of Blackstone - or even Magna Carta.
