The aboslute most Constution-mocking,,, piece of garbage of a decision that kangaroo court has come up with lately. The five who decided this on the basis of "prevailing public opinion ought to be impeached" And to top it off,,,,in Article 3 section 2 they have NO jurisdiction to rule on this at all.

Justice Breyers decision is obscene.


Justice Breyer is in favor of looking at international law to help influence his decision; he doesn’t really give a clear reason, except to determine whether the customs and mores of the U.S. are within the reasonable standards of the rest of the world. In reality, he looks at examples that will support his opinion.

He states:

Law is not really handed down from on high, even from the Supreme Court. Rather, it emerges. And we're part of it, the clerks are part of it, but only part. And what really survives every time is the result. I tend to think of a conversation among judges, among professors, among law students, among members of the bar, because you need people to put things together, you need people to decide cases, you need people to tell you how it works out in practice. And out of this giant, messy, unbelievably messy conversation emerges law….It's what I call opening your eyes as to what's going on elsewhere.

We need a constitutional amendment that allows supermajorities in Congress or supermajorities of state legislatures to overturn Supreme Court decisions. That would go a long way to detering judicial overreaching.
