Justice O’Connor’s Remarks Raise Concerns

For the sake of the country, the Constitution, and the Supreme Court...I hope Justice O'Connor retires. She should be impeached.

[LibWhacker]

Don't know much about her . . . But I just did a Google search and all the howling and gnashing of teeth by the MSM over her makes her sound like a GREAT candidate! :-)

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

Article 3, Section 2, paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution makes it very clear: "In all other Cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."

[My2Cents]

This should sit well with likely new Judic. chairman, Arlen "Scottish Law" Specter.

Conservatives in the Senate need to ask this one question of all future court nominess: "To what extent should international law or the laws of other nations have upon the laws of this nation?"

[My2Cents]

"Grown" more senile.

[backtothestreets]

International law should have no bearing within our borders or concerns. If agreement is to be found with other nations that is a treaty matter and given to the Senate to address, not the Supreme Court.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

It would be the same as the Clinton Impeachment...first the House would vote on impeachment...if a justice was impeached...like Clinton was...then it goes to the Senate where he (or she) would be tried...then hopefully the Senate votes to remove him or her.

[Salvation]

She is leaning more and more left. Scary.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

The problem is that the Supreme Court is relying on International Law and not the U.S. Constitution...as cited in examples above such as the Supreme Court striking down a Texas law on sodomy.

[Agrarian]

She has needed replacing for some time. We should thank her for one thing, though -- she has wanted to retire for some time, and she held off during the Clinton administration, and again held off while the Senate was in turmoil.

W may appoint as many as 4 justices this term, and that is why we need to work this issue hard with our Senators and with the President.

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

I support the impeachment of Justice O'Connor.

[ZULU]

Add the Arizona sun to an already addled senescent brain and you have..... Sandra Day O'Connor!!!

Carrying on in the tradition of Justices Douglas and Warren.

[KoRn]

I think we need to fully appreciate how truly SCARY her thinking is. If this philosophy takes hold in our courts we can say goodbye to our sovereignty.

We need to put a stop to this NOW!!!!!

[thoughtomator]

She needs to be impeached.

[Houmatt]

I think these judges need to be bombarded with copies of the US Constitution (You know, the document they should be going by, not some other country's) and demand for them to READ IT.

[Renegade]

God might retire her naturally !

[Conservative Coulter Fan]

They need to be forced to read the writings of the founding fathers as well.

[justshutupandtakeit]

You fail to note her definition of "international" law is just that body of law AGREED upon which are shared by nations. It is NOT something created in France and forced down the throats of the US.

[Txsleuth]

I just heard Sean Hannity say that he will have on .Senator Spector today. I don't know what time. Those of you in the East may have already heard him.

He's also going to have on John O'Neill of the SBVTS>

[KoRn]

If they start looking at "International Law" for deciding 'opinions'; what would that mean for any potential 2nd Amendment case, or the death penalty?

I recall an opinion last year(I think) where Justice Kennedy mentioned "International Law" in some majority opinion. I nearly fell out of my chair, but didn't think about it further. The Federal courts should look at nothing but the US CONSTITUTION, if they go off to "International Law" they are blurring the lines between courts and foreign policy. This would be tragic.
