Isn't she the lame brained judge that wanted to bring international law into our courts.

I think that was David Suter or Kennedy.

Yes, as well as her puppy, Tony Kennedy. But only when it suited the outcome they wanted.

Not really so much. Giving foreign jurisprudence precedent is more Breyer's pet anaconda. Souter and Ginsberg will play along sometimes, as well. Kennedy has hinted that Europe has begun to change its outlook on dealing with foreign jurisprudence, and that's a bad sign to me.
This reference to foreign jurisprudence was used in Lawrence v. Texas to overturn sodomy laws and then again in Atkins v. Virginia.
As you can imagine, Scalia is fighting it tooth and nail.

If you're interested, here's a fantastic series of videos of a debate between Scalia and Breyer involving the use of foreign law in Constitutional considerations.
