Remarkable. I've never heard of a state supreme court justice taking such a strong public stand on an issue.

Does the name "Roy Moore" ring a bell? : )

Wow.

Strong stuff.

God bless him!

State supreme courts may decline to follow bad U.S. Supreme Court precedents because those decisions bind only the parties to the particular case.

Wow, so the Miranda Warning only applies to Ernesto Miranda?

Roe vs. Wade only applies to Jane Roe?

Alabama grows some interesting judges.

Forget Alito.  Tom Parker for US Supreme Court.

[Holden Magroin]

Job One for the new Roberts-Alito Supreme Court should be to dismantle the Court's decisions that use international treaties to strike down laws the Court's liberal wing doesn't like. If this nonsense isn't stopped soon, we will, in effect, be ruled by Western European politicians, and our own duly enacted laws will be null and void.

Ironically, one of the U.N. treaties invoked by the U.S. Supreme Court as a basis for its Roper decision is a treaty the United States has refused to sign. By insisting that American states submit to this unratified treaty, the liberals on the U.S. Supreme Court not only unconstitutionally invalidated laws in 20 states but, to do so, also usurped the treaty-making authority of both the president and the U.S. Senate.

If the treaty was ratified, it would become as law via article 6, sec 2. If it was not ratified, the Supreme Court made a grave, and intentional, error and all cases coming from this court has to be suspect.
