Family News in Focus reports on a House effort to oppose the Supreme Court's bizarre, illegal practice of relying on foreign law in deciding cases before it:
Some in Congress want the Supreme Court to stop citing decisions by other nations' courts.The article contains a link to further information on the bill. Use our Take Action page to urge your representative to cosponsor and/or support H. Res. 568.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor recently said the U.S. Supreme Court will increasingly rely on international and foreign courts when examining domestic issues. Some in Congress, however, are saying "Not so fast."
U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla., has introduced H. Res. 568 to remind the Supreme Court and other courts of a simple fact: Article VI of the Constitution states clearly that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. . . .
H. Res. 568 would not have the force of law, but it would be an official communication from Congress to the Court about the appropriate interpretation of our laws and our Constitution.
