Now that some conservatives are in a tizzy about federal judges

Excuse me?! It's the leftists who are in a tizzy over federal judges, which is why they're promoting the filibuster of Bush's nominees. Remember...THEY started it.

Both Democrats and Republicans do the country a disservice when they vote along party lines. Their loyalty should not be to the party, but to the Constitution and to the people.

What a spaz. By voting "along party lines," Republicans are trying to bring balance back to the judiciary by approving judges who are loyal to the Constitution and to the rule of law. What's this guy smoking?

Even conservatives can react like kindergarteners -- sometimes.
As if it's a big secret that some foreign countres' judicial systems are corrupt.
Accepting judicial determinations from many of them would be, to put it charitably, problematical.
Of course, there are exceptions, but as a blanket certainty, the courts did the right thing in dealing with an American Citizen.

I'm confused. I can understand Kenendy, cause he wants to use international law to decide US cases. But why the other 2 ? and why not O'Connor, who also thinks looking at foreign case law is ok.

The conservatives — Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas — took literalism to the ridiculous extreme and said that Congress meant any court in the world.

What if the guy was a known killer from another country. Just because a US court did not convict him, does not make him any less of a felon.
