All this really means is that instead of quoting European law in defense of her mis-rulings, she will quote either the Talmud or Israel court precedents - neither of which have validity in US law.
As a Jew I agree with you. She should be putting her “American” best foot forward and while she may admire Israel, she is hoping to be a Chief Justice of the USA and not be so enamoured with Israeli Justice Barak who was a demagogue of the worst kind!
I completely agree with you. This bothers me: I never sense that level of patriotism in Democrats.
"All this really means is that instead of quoting European law in defense of her mis-rulings, she will quote either the Talmud or Israel court precedents - neither of which have validity in US law."
Neither is a logical conclusion. You may admire Churchill, but that does not mean you will try introduce monarchy here, does it? Humankind admires Jesus Christ, but Christian Justices followed the Constitution; i.e., applied law rather than religion. Why do you assume that a Jewish judge would be different in this regard?
P.S. You also give her too much credit: only truly learned Jews know Talmud, and Kagan is at the opposite extreme: she is a Reform Jew, if any at all.
