Should U.S. judges consult foreign laws
and precedent when making their rulings or determining constitutionality?
It seems like a pretty obvious answer to most of us,
but to liberal, activist judges using foreign law sounds convenient and
fashionably multicultural.
The
Alliance Defense Fund has released a new video that warns of the dangerous
trend among activist judges
who use foreign law to
advance their liberal agenda through the courts.
Excerpt
from CitizenLink article:
Bill Saunders, senior fellow and director of the Family
Research Council’s Center for Human Life and Bioethics, explained that it's
part of a strategy to achieve what can't be gained through the legislative
branch.
“The social Left, the cultural Left, has known for a long
time that the only way they’re going to achieve their agenda is through the
courts," he said. "So they have looked to international institutions
to try to build up arguments that the ‘international community’ supports
certain things like abortion or gay marriage and that, therefore — according to
them — we in America should pay some attention to that.”
This is
another example of why appointing qualified originalist judges is so crucial to
our nation. Check the AdvanceUSA pro-justice page for more
