It’s been said that deciding a domestic case based on foreign precedent is the most extreme form of judicial activism. But, it’s happening. In fact, that’s how gay marriage came into being in Massachusetts. The Alliance Defense Fund is doing all it can to expose this ACLU-ushered trend. Former Attorney General Ed Meece says the process starts with education.

“Using international law as a means of interpreting the Constitution as it applies to domestic law is dangerous because other countries may have very different moral foundations for their law they may have different ethical standards.”

Benjamin Bull of ADF says foreign law puts our national sovereignty at risk.

“When American courts, federal or state courts begin interpreting our Constitution in accordance with the instruments of foreign countries, then we’ve effectively transferred our sovereignty overseas.”

And at the very least, Bill Saunders with the Family Research Council considers it a slap in the face to the American people.

“What these judicial activists are doing is they are disenfranchising you as a citizen. They are saying they are going to decide it and not letting you decide.”

There are five judges on the Supreme Court who support using foreign law to decide domestic cases.
