Making laws is the duty of the Congress. They are the only ones who have to consider foreign opinion. They of course are answerable to THE PEOPLE so if THE PEOPLE want to follow a foreign lead then so will Congress. For judges to interpret laws any way other than as they are written by representatives of THE PEOPLE is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If judges don't follow the Constitution THE PEOPLE have recourse through the Congress to remove them via the impeachment process. Correct me if I am wrong... I think this is 9th grade Civics.
The problem is that these judges are "making" laws that 40% of THE PEOPLE and most of the press agree with, and, since this 40% can't assert their will any other way, they support, and will continue to support, the Kritocracy now in place. Which is, in a nut shell, why the Democrats in the Senate are opposing Bush nominees on an ideological rather than a qualification (experience and morals) basis.
I feel much better now!
