Ramifications of SCOTUS Considering International Law

Posted by Eric at 9:32 am. Filed under: General

As we noted yesterday, the Supreme Court has been increasingly focusing on weighing international law, and the opinion of the world, in its decisions.

IowaHawk has more on the larger ramifications of this shift:

WASHINGTON, DC - In a far-reaching decision that will likely create complicated consequences for the American livestock and wedding-planning industries, the Supreme Court this morning ruled 5-4 that all US marriage dowries “must include three non-diseased oxen.”

Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy cited “the weight of the expansive penumbra surrounding the historically emerging and prevailing opinions of tribal shamans from Lesotho to Myanamar” in issuing the historic ruling in American Cattleman Association vs. Modern Bride, Helverson, et al.

TransTerrestrial noticed too. Nate wonders if he’s too late.

On a more serious note, The Buck Stops Here links to this article about the impropriety of what the court did. (HT: Stromata)
