Justice Ginsburg and the Supreme Court of the World

"Ginsburg discusses court integrity, Congress on campus visit," by Meredith Grunke, Daily Nebraskan, 10 April 2006, http://www.dailynebraskan.com/media/storage/paper857/news/2006/04/10/News/Ginsburg.Discusses.Court.Integrity.Congress.On.Campus.Visit-1803033.shtml?norewrite200604101541&sourcedomain=www.dailynebraskan.com.
Note: My source for this post is the Daily Nebraskan, the occasionally incoherent student publication of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Most of their time, such as with their publication of my dialog with Dr. Frances Kaye over ROTC, they get things right. Occasionally they don't. I am assuming that their reporting of a recent speech by a Supreme Court justice on our fair campus is accurate.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wants to take over the world!

Washington Post Criticizes Ginsburg Over Foreign Law
"Citing Foreign Law," Washington Post, 21 March 2006, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/20/AR2006032001674.html (from NRO's Bench Memos).
I've applauded Chief Justice Roberts successful attack on so-called international law. Roberts' victory is all the more encouraging because of the division of the Supreme Court on a closely related matter: foreign law.
Foreign law, which has been attacked by the Attorney General and Justice Scalia, differs from "international law" in that it is actually law, somewhere. While there was once a real international law based on the Catholic Church, in modern times "international law" means at best the socialization of states and at worst a strange morality.
