Aaaaaand there it is! Using international law to interpret the constitution.

Absolutely outrageous and pathetic.

Would love to read the dissent from Scalia and Thomas.

Here's a link to the Scalia dissent

From Scalia: "Because I do not believe the meaning of our Eigth Amendment, any more than the other provisions of our Consitution, should be determined by the views of five Members of this Court and like minded foreigners" I dissent"

I was not aware that international law had jurisdiction in regards to the US Constitution. Perhaps Sharia Law will have jurisdiction in the future. (/sarcasm)

It's all downhill from here.

I agree completely with you; I wish we could impeach any judge who uses international law to interpret our constitution!
