Mark, the fact is we have been doing this for over a century. Supreme Court
justices including William Howard Taft and Senators including Elihu Root
advocated using foreign law to inform opinions. Comparative law (a more
precise term, IMHO) is used as assistance in regulatory matters also, so
impugning the Court because they do it seems discriminatory, to say the
least.

I consider this whole thing to be a straw man.
