From the essay:

"It will no longer do to say, in other words, you have cited a foreign case, but I have cited a U.S. domestic case, and that is self-evidently better authority.

All that shows, should the judge be so inclined, is evidence of American parochialism. Roper tells U.S. judges, in effect, that they should strive not to be the Ugly Judicial American."

Wait a second. One World, One World Constitution?

[Gunrunner2]

Previous foreign or religious citations were done in the context of saying; "See, we do this and they follow our lead, as it is a decision grounded in the US Constitution"
Now it seems that is being turned on its head, with an argument that says; "They say this and we make the Constitution follow them"
Wrong and dangerous approach.
Zimbabwe? YGTBSM?
The Hague? YGTSM?
