Open disdain for the Constitution is open disdain for the oath of office that the supreme court justices are sworn to uphold.

So why can't Roberts come in and say, you WILL state your rulings in accordance to the Constitution or disqualify yourself?

I think that not only will Judge Robert's decisions have an impact on the court in and of themselves. His arguments will be so persuasive as to convince the wishy washy justices to side with him.

I'm very far from being an expert on this, but i seem to remember a lawyer telling me once that English legal decisions dating back hundreds of years have been allowed as precidents in US cases, and that a large part of the US legal code is based on British common law.

So this isn't really hot news, as far as i know.
