I guess this is the flip side of using foreign law to interpret the U.S. Constitution. I wonder if this appeals court will recognize the authority of, say, the French to regulate activities in the U.S. with which they are in disagreement.
They already have. The Yahoo case was out of the 9th Circus.
See, generally, the 99 page opinion in YAHOO! INC. v. LA LIGUE CONTRE LE RACISME ET ý L’ANTISEMITISME, No. 01-17424, (9th Cir. Jan 12, 2006)
