whether our Constitution and how it fits into the governing documents of other nationsBlech. Our Constitution, through its simple beauty, does not need to and never will fit into the "governing documents of other nations," as it will far outshine them, especially monstrous messes like that EU constitution.

"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Sandra Day O'Connor is the 2003 proof of that old adage. I don't think she is ready to go back to the AZ ranch and settle for bossing around the hired help when she can cast the deciding vote for an entire nation.

Forget retirment, the court needs to forcibly eject her.

Notice that to my knowledge not a single member of Congress has called for the impeachment of O'Connor or any of her five henchmen? Not even Ron Paul to my knowlege. Perhaps he has called for impeachment.
To: Theodore R.
Why impeach or single-out Sandra? She didn't vote alone.

I saw her appearance this morning and she looked like she had one foot in the grave already.
I find the idea that she has actually authored any of her opinions this year just laughable.

Justice Breyer held that the foreign court's view that gay men and lesbians had a fundamental right to privacy in their sexual behavior showed that the Supreme Court's prior decision to the contrary was unfounded in the Western tradition.WTF!!??
Can this bozo be serious? And he's supposed to judge our laws by our Constitution???
We either need to get an Order of Impeachment going quick or a find a large bucket of hot tar and some feathers... personally, I'm in favor of both!
Mr. Scalia said that the views of foreign jurists were irrelevant under the United States Constitution.
He's right. He's also in the minority.
We've got some serious problems here, folks. Serious!!

because O'Connor has been mentioned as the "temporary" successor to Rehnquist as chief justice
To: Theodore R.
Correction: "RUMORED" and here at or on FR, mostly by Todd!
Before I'm nit-picked, and by Bobby Novak in one of his recent hysterical columns.

Haven't you heard? It's an unwritten law of their own making: One does not depart the Supreme Court until well after senility sets in -- and one is seen drooling both from and on the bench.

puke is right.
The paragraph you quoted and the leftist gsy rights opinion was the whole articles point.
To: Theodore R.
She could be telling a lie. Or from where she sits maybe she hopes to do more damage to this country with the CFR ruling coming up.

(Thomas would make a good chief justice)
To: sarcasm
Their difference was over whether the court should pay attention to legal opinions of other world courts, such as the European Court of Human Rights. Justice Breyer held that the foreign court's view that gay men and lesbians had a fundamental right to privacy in their sexual behavior showed that the Supreme Court's prior decision to the contrary was unfounded in the Western tradition. This is the sickest point in the whole article. Treasonous. So the justices aren't supposed to go by the US Constitution, they're supposed to check with the latest decisions by the EU Court. This is nasty and disgusting. If I wanted to live by the EU rules I'd give up my citizenship and go live there. This is REALLY bad news.

Don't forget "Legislating". It seems some of them got bored with simply interpreting the Constitution, now they want to create laws.
So much for the "checks and balances" of our three branches of government.
To: demkicker
And I made my comments after reading the article, before I read the other freepers' comments. I think we're on the same wavelength. How about the friggin' EU sickheads respecting our Constitution? I know my language is coarse but this is sick stuff. To think that a Supreme Court Justice admits openly as though it is legitimate to take into consideration what the sick EU courts says or does, or follow its lead. This makes me sick to my stomach and boiling mad.
