JUSTICE O'CONNOR:  US MUST RELY ON FOREIGN LAW
Monday, November 10, 2003

U. S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner spoke recently at the Southern Center for International Studies Awards dinner and received the World Justice Award.

The 73-year-old justice said, “The impressions we create in this world are important and they can leave their mark.” She was referring to the main point in her speech that called for American courts to pay more attention to international legal decisions to help create a more favorable impression abroad.

She cited recent Supreme Court cases that illustrated the increased willingness of U.S. courts to take international law into account in its decisions. One of the cases took place recently when the Supreme Court relied on European decisions in its decisions to overturn the Texas anti-sodomy law, where there was no basis in the U. S. Constitution for such action.

Justice Anthony Kennedy couldn’t find any language in the U.S. Constitution to justify the court’s overturning of the Texas sodomy law so he invoked “other authorities” like the European Court of Human Rights, which invalidated the European Union’s (EU) domestic laws against homosexual conduct. Kennedy also cited an amicus brief filed by Mary Robinson, a former United Nations high commissioner.

In dissent, Justice Scalia called Kennedy’s action and words pertaining to the approval of same-sex marriages as “dangerous dicta”, saying that the court should not impose foreign moods, fads or fashions on Americans.” But sadly to say four justices joined Kennedy, O’Conner being one of them.

In the decision to justify race preference at the Michigan Law School’s affirmative
action case, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer cited a United Nation’s treaty. What right does a U.N. treaty have to dictate to U.S. college admission?One doesn’t have to look far to see what happens when a nation forgets the laws of God. Radical globalists in Britain called for freedom and tolerance. They mocked their parents, scorned religious teaching, hated Christian morality and their culture within 15 years was destroyed.

Now those rebellious radicals are teaching in the schools and universities and preaching in churches and seminaries. They sit in Parliament as judges. Today, Britain is corrupt and immoral and their nation, their families and their children are suffering because the role of religion in their nation was rejected.

Now U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner has declared that the U. S.
must rely on foreign law.

Congress and the American people must do something fast to reign in these black robed judges bent on globalization without God.
