Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama really is a true American who is looking out for the people's interests. The other day I was watching him on C-Span (yeah, yeah, I was flipping past and saw him) and he was commenting on Sotomayor and her belief in analyzing foreign law in making decisions. He labeled this as coming to a decision and then looking around the world for some law that supports your beliefs.

As a Supreme Court Justice it is your job to make decisions based on United States law and the Constitution. There is no other excuse you can use. You can't say that you're overlooking US law for humanitarian issues, empathy issues or "fairness" issues. The reason this country is great (or should I say "was" great? I'm starting to wonder...) is that all people in the land knew the laws and that they would be treated equally under them. The rule of law was equal to all.

When you introduce the thought of entering foreign laws into decision making you then have destroyed the base of this country. I can only assume that any judge who would do that has the destruction of the United States in mind as it is common sense to see that if people don't know what to expect then anarchy reigns supreme.

I couldn't say it better than Senator Sessions though as you'll see in the video below. It makes you wish you had a Senator like him in your state (I currently have Specter and Casey...UGH!)
