The last time I checked, our interaction with other countries is supposed to be through treaties, not through judicial activism.
Judges are not supposed to decide to follow international conventions. Treaties are the bailwick of the senate.
Somebody really needs to slap down these black-robed imperialists!

That is another good point --- if the Supremes need information or "guidance" that isn't already in the Constitution, then they need to look to our legislators to write the law-----Not to international law.
The Progressives, within the Democrat party would probably be thrilled with this sort of SCOTUS activism, and I'm sure would encourage it, rather that go thru legislature because they are in the minority. See: Massachusetts Supreme Court.
