Breyer had held that a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that homosexuals had a fundamental right to privacy in their sexual behavior showed that the Supreme Court's earlier decision to the contrary was unfounded in the Western tradition.

Western tradition? hahaha. This guy obviously knows NOTHING about Western Tradition. Where does he think the reformation occurred - China? He must be reading the new ABRIDGED history of Western Tradition. Europe today does not remotely resemble Europe of 300 years ago, especially Germany, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland and England - nations which had a very strong Christian base. Yes, today's Europe is cold and dead - and became so when they threw out God and adopted man as the moral standard-giver. I suppose Breyer has never heard of Gustavus Adolphus, William Wilberforce, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Dietrich Bonhofer, and on and on. This is just more liberal revisionist claptrap. There is nothing to admire in Europe today.

I too am a Reformed Christian, but I greatly fear that what ties the nations you mention together is their fealty to my Reformation-and I fear that the "man as the moral standard-giver" may have been named Martin Luther.
