SEND GINSBURG TO THE HAGUE WHERE SHE BELONGS
there's a legitimate argument against using foreign law in american court decisions. but ginsberg is definitely not the most partisan member of the supreme court. scalia regularly appears in front of conservative groups, and has close relationships with many powerful members of the executive branch (see: dick cheney).

my problem is conservatives who have no problem with conservative judicial activism. look at the "special needs" exception to the fourth amendment, developed over the last 20 years by the conservative wing of the court, which has no textual basis at all. a principled strict constructionist would be just as opposed to this doctrine as lawrence v. texas, and would certainly never support as glaring an abrogation of state rights as bush v. gore.
