Oh boy

That kind of treasonous behavior ought to be good under the law for a hanging.

This coupled with the news of the so called compromise in the Senate is enough to make any Nationalist sick to his or her stomach.

There is a vast difference between U.S. justices (1) considering meaningful views of scholars and judges before reaching a conclusion and (2) allowing international opinion to control the interpretation of U.S. laws, Stevens said at a meeting of the 7th Circuit Bar Association and Judicial Conference of the Seventh Circuit.

"We should not be impeached for the former," he said. "And we are not guilty of the latter."

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is still far and away the worst.

She may be the most leftist individual to ever sit on the Supreme Court.

(I'm open to corrections)

Gerald Ford's pathetic legacy is on display for everyone to see.

A zinger Jesse Helms quote:

Helms was one of only three senators to vote against Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court nomination. He stated that she was "likely to uphold the homosexual agenda."

Prophetic.

[wardaddy]

It was:

Jesse Helms

Bob Smith

and Nickles of OKlahoma


who voted against Ginsburg.

God bless them.

Heavy thinker there, if you are a socialist p.o.s.
I for one am not a world citizen, I am an American,
How does a dumbass like this get in such a position?

"The practices of other nations, particularly other democracies, can be relevant to determining whether a practice uniform among our people is not merely an historical accident, but rather so 'implicit in the concept of ordered liberty' that it occupies a place not merely in our mores but, text permitting, in our Constitution as well. See Palko v. Connecticut, 302 U.S. 319, 325 (1937) (Cardozo, J.)." -- Justice Antonin Scalia, Thompson v. Oklahoma. 487 US 815 (1988):

Well stated! I can feel the flames already ;-)

Supreme Court decisions have always reflected ideas from sources outside the Constitution where they have been considered necessary for illumination of the Justices' opinions.

For example, there are decisions that cite various State laws, State judicial opinions, rulings by governmental agencies and even less judicial opinions such as sociological, economic, psychiatric studies This isn't something new.

It is controversial if the Justices decide a case using foreign laws to override US laws and clear mandates of the Constitution.

There is no reason to cite international opinion by case if it is not authoritative. Stephens, et al, have done just that. They have cited specific case law from countries outside the USA in cases not involving treaties. The only reason to cite such a case is to cite from authority.

Having done that Stephens and his pals are indeed guilty of violating their oaths of office and should be impeached for cause.

[muawiyah]

Stevens is really deep into Mugabe isn't he.
