The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : More on Foreign Law

Text Size

The threats, they come fast and furious. But vigilant people are out there, trying to warn us. THis, from lawyer Christine Flowers writing in the Philly Daily News, is superbly explained -- better than my earlier attempts on the subject. It's simple: No government is just unless it rests on the consent of the governed. We Americans have not consented to foreign laws. Case closed.

For four or five Supreme Court justices to refuse to understand that incredibly simple concept shows that we live in very very very very dangerous times. Kudos to Flowers for explaining it.

"More on Foreign Law" That would be "Moron Foreign Law", yes?

It always frustrates the Hell out of liberals just how few shades of grey exist, and that some things, from time-to-time, raise their absolute, unequivocal straight-forward heads.

Is there a way to bring charges of gross malfeasance or somesuch against justices who use inapplicable law or standards?

It's already clear to me the indoctrination from the communists starting way back in Bella Dodd days and hence has taken root, and the new world order will be one giant socio-communist unanswerable regime of fascistic nonsense that benefit the top and their feather fluffing, preening pride.
Ginsberg is one really, really ugly woman, one of the ugliest, matched only by the likes of Reno and Albright.
I don't just mean their facial features - I just watched a Reno clip where, shaking with fear, she explained how she was very disturbed by the report she had recieved on Waco, then a moment later dismissed it entirely and threw away the thought of doing anything about it.
Thanks for letting us know you have an emotional revulsion Janet, that means you're clued in to how horribly illegal and unlawful your handling of the whole sad affair actually was.
This is what we get from the filthy maggots of deception nowadays. They acknowledge that their feelings are disturbed, that is their answer, then its back to their raging criminal behavior and coverup.
I have ZERO respect for any of the 3 I mentioned, absolutely none, and pray I never have to be anywhere near their presence.
What a disgusting thing to even consider any of them an American.
This place is self destructing. It's nearly a miracle to hear the truth anymore.
Quick, get to the store and save some money.

Ha!

Seriously though, we need the Sudanese perspective on religious liberty and property rights. The Saudi perspective on women and driving. The Iranian practice of stoning whores deserves a fair hearing. What's happening in Cambodia? Why don't we here about town meeting day in Lesotho? What can we learn about economic crisis from Castro, and Mugabe?
Why stop at foreign shores? We can go back in time, compare Imperial Roman policy on urban zoning with our own. Perhapsfeudal Japan can teach us something about healthcare.
