I do a monthly write-up of recent Supreme Court cases. The latest, which should be up by today, is on the two Michigan cases, entitled, "The 'Discimination is Illegal, Sometimes' Cases." In the course of discussing those two cases, I point out that Justice Ginsburg is fond of quoting in her opinions two principle sources -- her own prior opinions in dissent in other cases, and international treaties and laws.
The general point of this article is spot on: the proper business of federal judges is not to interpret and apply international treaties and laws to the United States. Here's the link for my legal analysis (go to "ACLU Watch"): http://www.civilrightsunion.org
