I'm sure Breyer will not be citing foreign laws when they do not support his position.

That's something I've wondered for quite a while... Why doesn't he bring up the rulings by Irish judges when discussing why the US should strike down Roe v Wade... Oh, that's right! He doesn't present those rulings because they contridict his "feelings."

If he doesn't want to create a decision using his own mind and our laws then I think he needs to get a job on the ICC Court. I we simply have no law to address an issue then that issue is a matter for congress to decide since it is supposed to be a reflection of the people in this country.

He is also suggesting here that the constitution is a living document to such an extent that outside influences can be acceptable. If that is the case, then the outside influences can shape the courts and in the future perhaps the courts can help shape outside influences. Giving the courts some element of an executive roll.
