It's the Constitution, Stupid!

Phyllis Schlafly weighs in on whether or not international law should trump our constitution. It shouldn't, but six of the Supremes believe otherwise.

Violation of this oath should be an impeachable offense.

Yet, six of the nine Supreme Court justices are now on record using references to foreign law in their opinions. In a speech last year, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the American Constitution Society that "your perspective on constitutional law should encompass the world."

Three Supreme Court justices disagree. Most Americans would agree with Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote that the Court should not "impose foreign moods, fads or fashions on Americans."

It's time for the American people to let the justices, and all future judicial nominees, know that we believe it is their duty to base their decisions on the U.S. Constitution, and that it is a violation of their oath of office to base decisions on foreign decisions or practices.

This has to become a priority issue as this Court is gradually replaced. The Judiciary Committee is one of the most important committees in the Senate now, and the chairman needs to be someone other than Sen. Arlen Specter, known by many to be a RINO.

Joseph Farah has more to say about Sen. Specter.

Laura Ingraham encouraged her listeners to call Majority Leader Sen. Bill Frist (202-224-3344) to let him know what your thoughts are on Sen. Specter's views on judicial nominees. The thing to remember here is that Sen. Specter was responsible for 'borking' the Honorable Robert Bork. He also called upon some obscure 'Scottish Law' when he voted to acquit President Bill Clinton at his impeachment.
