Scalia Calls it Like it Is
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia is really a unique individual. He is a vocal critic about liberal judges who legislate law from the bench and use foreign law to “interpret” and legislate from the bench. Its a VERY scary thing when judges from the Supreme Court on down “rely on” foreign law to make decisions. Scalia points out, though, that liberals, in typical fashion, don’t always rely on foreign law; they simply rely on foreign law when its convenient. Here is Scalia’s point: More countries in the world do NOT allow abortion but you can NOT find any liberal judges relying on foreign law in U.S. court cases involving abortion. I am not surprised one bit.
Facing this scary threat of “interpreting law” our country elects THE most liberal Senator from the U.S. Senate as our next president. It is predicted he will have the power to appoint 2-3 Supreme Court Justices. Want to make a guess if they’ll stick to interpreting the U.S. Constitution OR “rely” on foreign law?
