Deconstructing Ginsburg

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Clinton appointee, recently gave a speech defending, even extolling, the virtues of looking to foreign law in interpreting the meaning of the United States Constitution. Today on National Review Online, Edward Whelan does a masterful job of dissecting Ginsburg's speech and explaining both why her view is contrary to the Declaration of Independence (the document Ginsburg uses as the basis for her speech), and exposing the fallacy behind her logic. It's a must-read for anyone interested in these recent developments on the Court.
