This international law business drives me nuts. They are supposed to rule on the Constitution. Thats it.

[Ken in Eastman]

What is the excuse for using foreign laws? Do our liberal justices believe that other laws or constitutions are better than our own? Most of them begin with the assumption that rights are derived from individuals.

Sadly, if rights are derived from individuals -- even ancestors -- then other individuals can legitimately strip those rights.

The US Constitution is based on the same assumptions Jefferson used in the Declaration of Independence: "we are endowed by Our Creator with certain inalienable rights . . ." Simply put, we cannot be separated from our God-given rights and retain our humanity.

Because these rights come from an unimpeachable source, a source greater than individuals or a mass of humanity, they can never be denied citizens. We do not have those same assurances from other lands or their laws. What a sad day when we would rely on inferior laws with inferior assumptions about mankind simply to reinforce the argument of a liberal justice.

May God help us all, for we have surely failed to help ourselves.
