Breyer didn't say anything people here are saying he said. He said that figuring out how the Constitution governs our relationships with other countries and their constitutions will be a challenge. He also said that while the values in the Constitution are constant we are always faced with new technology and new situtations that the Founders never dreamed of that we must apply the Constitution to. That's nothing terribly controversial.

Now if you're going to argue that sodomy laws represent the view of society it's helpful to look at what society actually thinks. Now it's dumb to look to the Netherlands to figure this out, but it's a line of thought I can follow and it's rather different than declareing the Constitution subordinate to the whims of Europe.

You're right. There's a lot more headline than meat to this article.

This statement is indeed proof that life exists on different planets and in different dimensions.

The Lawrence vs Texas majority decision CITED Eurotrash legal precedents of recent history. The majority also gave weight to Mary Robinson's UN vision of one world libertinism and cited it in the same document.

How can you possibly deny this?

From the majority in Lawrence vs Texas

The European Court of Human Rights has followed not Bowers but its own decision in Dudgeon v. United Kingdom. See P. G. & J. H. v. United Kingdom, App. No. 00044787/98, ¶ ;56 (Eur. Ct. H. R., Sept. 25, 2001); Modinos v. Cyprus, 259 Eur. Ct. H. R. (1993); Norris v. Ireland, 142 Eur. Ct. H. R. (1988).

Are the United Kingdom, Cyprus and Ireland are the 51, 52 and 53 states?

No evidence here of deferring to European sensibilities, none at all. Sheesh.
