Obama's Most Perilous Legal Pick

JUDGES should interpret the Constitution according to other nations' legal "norms." Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts. The United States constitutes an "axis of disobedience" along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq.

Those are the views of the man on track to become one of the US government's top lawyers: Harold Koh.

President Obama has nominated Koh -- until last week the dean of Yale Law School -- to be the State Department's legal adviser. In that job, Koh would forge a wide range of international agreements on issues from trade to arms control, and help represent our country in such places as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.

I did a little bolding here. Attention must be paid.

[liberalism is suicide]

Interpret the Constitution according to other nations’ legal norms? Why not just call ourselves the World Socialist Democracy—North American Plantation? That’s where our mis-leadership is taking us anyway.

Sad that you're the only other FReeper who seems to care about this.
