"We see all the time, Justice O'Connor and I, and the others, how the world really it's trite but it's true is growing together," Breyer said. "Through commerce, through globalization, through the spread of democratic institutions, through immigration to America, it's becoming more and more one world of many different kinds of people. And how they're going to live together across the world will be the challenge, and whether our Constitution and how it fits into the governing documents of other nations, I think will be a challenge for the next generationsAntiguv, you were saying that the majority in Kennedy was only replying to Burger vis a vis the Europeans.
Think again. This guy should be tarred and feathered, forget impeachment.
He is stating quite clearly that the US Constitution, in his view, will simply become a refernce in a world of more elite references. Cripes.

This isn't red meat, it's turning my eyeballs red with rage. The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get.

Not often that one sees "vis a vis" and "cripes" in the same post. :-)

Antiguv, you were saying that the majority in Kennedy was only replying to Burger vis a vis the Europeans.I certainly was not. I was saying that Kennedy was clearly replying to Burger vis a vis the Europeans. I made no comment whatsoever regarding the motivations of the other five justices which joined in full or in part.
Otherwise, I saw Breyer's comments and found them problematic in the extreme - I won't claim otherwise. How our Constitution fits into the governing documents of other nations should not be the slightest concern of the Supreme Court. If the Congress wishes to have the Constitution accord more closely to those of other nations, then that's another matter altogether. That's why we have the amendment process.
