The United States Supreme Court is charged with judging the laws of the United States through its interpretation of the United States Constitution. Therefore, any law of any foreign country is completely irrelevant to the process. And there is no such thing as "international law" in any case. So why is anything Justice Scalia says even the least bit controversial?
Of those he feels lean too heavily on foreign law, Scalia asked rhetorically, what authority can be cited when a court that says constitutional law which "used to say one thing now says something else?"
This is just simple common sense, isn't it?
