Whatever happened to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic"?????

If we can't rely upon the mullahs - oops - I mean the Supreme Court - to interpret the Constitution's original intent and place it into today's legal world, then what? I know, we'll merely have to rely upon the written intent of those founders whenever possible, relying upon the strict interpretation as generally cited by Justice Thomas.

If the Supremes want to dabble in International Law, then they need to remove themselves from the US bench and go to Brussels. Period. Or be impeached.

"It is proper that we acknowledge the overwhelming weight of international opinion against the juvenile death penalty. The opinion of the world community, while not controlling our outcome, does provide respected and significant confirmation for our own conclusions."

I'd be curious to know to what extent courts in other countries seek confirmation in the opinions of the United States. Do these justices propose imposing U.S. values on other countries in the name of globalism or merely imposing the values of other countries on us?
