@combatvetlawstudent Not all nations share the idea of our documents that govern our land. So to persuade with aethiestic non constitutional principle ideas is to go against the oath of teh Constitution each judge takes.
@combatvetlawstudent you also go away from the constutution and declaration of Independence which derives from the plain statement that humans have inalienable rights iven BY OUR CREATOR that cannot be refused, then to use reasoning outside such principles is to deny our original documents this land was created on!
One problem w18:45ish quoting other countries in rulings is that our country originated on Christian principles as our documents show. Unalienable rights given by our CReator. English common law was based on likewise. THAT was what our forefathers created as law for our land. So when you start using reasoning derived from aetheistic nations who share not the idea of inaliendabelrights given by our country that our land is governened by in those documents, you curse our land.
18:45 ish He says the citation in a ruling is NOT binding. Well it still is there for pursuasive effect. SO if in a case someone quotes or rules several citations or references to multiple foreign citations on an issue it HAS its effect. Kicking a door in while politely saying “can I come in?” is very similar to plain ol forcing in a decision. Consider accumulative affect as a form of binding.
I certainly hope that the hilarious irony of this presentation is not lost on viewers.
excellent work!
@plasticine86 You too could bang Sandra Day O’Connor.
Justice Breyer is a great judge and a great teacher. Thanks for this terrific video.
Who could possibly hate stepehen breyer? He’s wonderful!
That’s really funny. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that his tie is usually always under a robe, so he’s not used to making sure it looks okay after the knot.
The justices are like rockstars. I wish I could be a justice one day; could you imagine all the chicks I’d get?
i concur with the tie comment.

the description says “In 1990 he was appointed an appellate court judge by President Carter.” This has to be a typo…
Stephen Breyer is one of the best and open-minded judges.
Thanks for the video!
great vid…but he needs to learn how to wear a tie correctly.
