We have some sound bites from him. He was speaking Monday in Washington at a symposium on public service and international law. Now, Breyer is a known commodity. He was a liberal when he was nominated; he was a liberal when he was confirmed, and he\u2019s a liberal on the court, and the liberals didn\u2019t have to be stealth about him, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg? She was a liberal when she\u2019s nominated, and she is a liberal on the court, and they didn\u2019t have to be stealth about her and sneak her in, and both of these judges were approved with pretty good margins. Here is Justice Breyer once again talking about foreign law, and this goes <emphasize>rig<\/emphasize><emphasize>ht to the point<\/emphasize> that I was trying to make to Trudy and I have for several weeks, months, if you will, on this program about what\u2019s wrong with certain kind of judges and why we need others. Listen to Breyer, the first of a few bites here.<\/line><BR\/> BREYER: Nations all over the world have followed our lead or the lead of other places, adopted constitutions that basically assure democracy, that are protective of human rights, and that try to do so in part by relying upon independent judiciaries. Well, if that is the world, we can learning something perhaps by looking at how they, in a few cases anyway, that raise comparable problems, interpret comparable documents, comparable provisions, protective let\u2019s say of human liberty. I\u2019m not saying we follow them. We might learn what not to do. But let\u2019s read them. After all, they\u2019re written by judges.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: <emphasize>So what!<\/emphasize> That\u2019s the point. So they\u2019re written by judges and that makes them infallible? Look, you can read all you want, Justice Breyer. You can read and inform yourself all you want about what other nations are doing, <emphasize>but unless it\u2019s in our Constitution it is irrelevant when you are deciding constitutional law that comes before you in the form of cases at the Supreme Court.<\/emphasize> It\u2019s just that simple, but if you\u2019re going to have a personal view &#8212; like Justice Breyer obviously does, a personal view &#8212; that what they\u2019re doing around the world is something that we can learn from, that may be, independently speaking, but if it\u2019s not in our Constitution, it ought not be in anybody\u2019s reasoning or anybody\u2019s decision-making when it comes to deciding law in cases that come before the Supreme Court. What Justice Breyer is essentially saying here is that there are certain things going on in this country that he disagrees with, and he may find a better way of handling them in foreign countries, and since he\u2019s a judge, and since other <emphasize>judges <\/emphasize>where writing these things in other countries, why, it would be silly not to incorporate them! That is 180 degrees out of phase, and it is precisely why I have this profound concern of the direction the court\u2019s heading, and there are people, ladies and gentlemen, who have written and who are on benches, on courts deciding cases now who have undergone the scrutiny and the attempts to have their minds changed (a-hem) by public pressure, political pressure, and they have stood fast, they have remained solid in their beliefs on the Constitution. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>So those people can be identified, and there\u2019s no guesswork about it &#8212; and I guarantee you, if you find this kind of judge, you\u2019re going to get the right thing on Roe vs. Wade, but you\u2019re also going to get the right thing on all kinds of other cases that come before it, too. This business&#8230; Do you know that foreign law was used to overturn 19 state laws on sodomy? It was foreign law. Justice Kennedy cited it. Well, what good is any law in any state if nine lawyers at the Supreme Court can find what they\u2019re doing elsewhere around the world and say, &#8220;You states are so far behind the curve. You don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing. They\u2019re way ahead of us, say, in Belgium. So we\u2019re going to going to incorporate Belgium into our decision on this case.&#8221; Sorry. If it\u2019s not in the Constitution, you can\u2019t do that, and this started with Roe vs. Wade &#8212; and this is the big argument that people have. Once you start finding things that aren\u2019t there, and pretending that they are, or inserting them yourself as a judge, the Constitution becomes <emphasize>meaningless, <\/emphasize>folks. <\/line><BR\/>All this rigmarole and hoity-toity talk about human rights and civil rights and democracy? All of it would be meaningless. The only way it would have meaning is if a majority of judges <emphasize>agreed <\/emphasize>on some civil right or human right or what have you, or if they want to create a new one that\u2019s not in the Constitution. That\u2019s not how these things happen. The laws are not written by judges. They\u2019re not supposed to be. The laws are written by elected representatives in Congress and the state legislatures. If they want to go scrutinize foreign law, if they want to make a bill out of it and they can convince enough members of Congress as elected officials that we send there to do so, and then get the president to sign it, well, then fine. But this is not how this is supposed to happen, and Breyer knows, I think, he\u2019s under the gun. He won\u2019t stop talking this. He\u2019s got a book out about it, now. This is an argument going on <emphasize>within <\/emphasize>the court itself. You\u2019ve got Scalia and Thomas, and you had Rehnquist, who are dead-set <emphasize>against <\/emphasize>all of this. We don\u2019t know where Harriet Miers comes down on this. We might find out in the hearings, but we don\u2019t know now. But there are plenty of other people out there whose opinion on this we do know. Here\u2019s another portion of Breyer\u2019s remarks.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: Don\u2019t remain behind a veil of ignorance. Read it when it\u2019s relevant, and there are cases, I know, I think, what is upsetting. The cases that have come up where this has been done <emphasize>recently <\/emphasize>involve a statute involving homosexual conduct and the death penalty for 17-year-olds. We said that the statute was unconstitutional, and we held 5-4 in both cases. In the death penalty case, we said the Constitution could not, the cruel and unusual punishment clause said you could not execute a 17-year-old, when he was 17 when he committed the crime. Those are <emphasize>very <\/emphasize>controversial topics, <emphasize>very <\/emphasize>controversial. They referred very briefly to foreign law but it\u2019s very hard for someone to say that that was the basis of the opinion.<\/line><BR\/> RUSH: It isn\u2019t hard at all. All you\u2019ve got to do is refer to it and find that one country disagrees with executing 17-year-olds, make it the law here, and it has formed a basis, and that is exactly what happened. You sense the defensiveness here. So he just got through saying that they overturned two cases, the sodomy-homosexual conduct, and the death penalty. Well, those are state laws. The states had passed those laws. The US Supreme Court did refer to foreign law and then overturned them both, just because of a 5-4 majority on the court. Simply that. There\u2019s nothing in the Constitution about it. They just relied on foreign law and their own interpretation. (interruption) What, Mr. Snerdley? What are you having a cow about in there? What? (interruption) Well, I know. When the Founders made these laws 17-year-olds [at the time of their crime] were executed at the time. See, brings up another point. The Constitution is a miraculous document. It is written to apply and to be adaptable to modern times. You know how? You can amend it, but you don\u2019t amend it by having the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court institute their own personal policy preferences for it. There\u2019s an amendment process, and it\u2019s very hard to amend the Constitution. They did that on purpose, too. But there\u2019s a constitutional way to change the Constitution, but it isn\u2019t this way. This <emphasize>is not the way it happens.<\/emphasize> Here\u2019s one more from Justice Breyer.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: My wife is a psychologist, therefore I believe in the phenomenon of displacement. Displacement means when you\u2019re angry at A, blame B. Joanna says that I says &#8212; I do that and she is the victim of this, but nonetheless! Displacement! Perhaps that\u2019s underlying this whole problem, because if I look back into the history of the Supreme Court, since 1808, indeed, there were loads of citations of foreign cases.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay (sigh). So now we\u2019re going to use psychology to explain our decisions and we\u2019re going to use psychology to criticize the critics of these decisions. All right, I have to take a break here, but when we come back, I\u2019ve got one more Breyer maybe, but definitely a 44-second little gem from Judge Roberts during his confirmation hearings. <\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: All right, here is Breyer\u2019s conclusion now to this symposium on Monday on public service and international law.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: Anyway, as I see it, I\u2019ve tried to explain to you why I think that\u2019s the world that we live in, why I think it\u2019s terribly important in so many areas.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: Not just the high visibility ones.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Of course.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: To make international, foreign law what happens in other places part of the life that <emphasize>you <\/emphasize>in fact lead as a professional.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: That inevitably draws our, uh, uh, court into it, too.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: It\u2019s not inevitable.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: I think that the ultimate objective is what Father Drinan said.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Oh, my!<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: &#8220;The objective is the law that works better for average Americans.&#8221; Will it happen? I hope so! I <emphasize>think <\/emphasize>so. And, anyway, that\u2019s my side of the argument. There may be others, too.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: There are.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: Thank you very much for listening.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: All right, now, Father Drinan, a well-known, <emphasize>documented <\/emphasize>lib. Father Drinan: &#8220;The ultimate objective is a law that works better for average Americans.&#8221; Folks, that is legal mumbo jumbo. It is gibberish. It is liberal, social, feel-goodism. It is absolutely uncalled for on the United States Supreme Court. The ultimate objective is not &#8221;a law that works better for average Americans.&#8221; That\u2019s not at all what the law is, and yet here\u2019s a Supreme Court justice citing international law, encouraging everybody to go look at it, find a law that\u2019s better for average Americans. A purely <emphasize>political <\/emphasize>statement, disguised as erudite thinking. So to refute this, who better to turn to than the new chief justice himself, Judge Roberts? Let\u2019s go back to September 15th of 2005. Senator Dick Durbin &#8212; thinking he was going to <emphasize>nail <\/emphasize>Judge Roberts here &#8212; basically rephrasing what you just heard Breyer say: &#8220;The ultimate objective is a law that works better for average Americans.&#8221; Durbin\u2019s question: &#8220;I said at the outset that I thought one of the real measures as to whether you or not you should be on the Supreme Court goes back to a point Senator Simon had made. Would you restrict freedom in America or would you expand it. When you were defending gays and lesbians who were being restricted in their rights by the Colorado amendment were you trying, from my point of view, to expand freedom in America? That, to me, is a positive thing. That\u2019s my personal philosophy. That\u2019s like my point of view. But when you say if the state would have walked in the door first to restrict freedoms, I would have taken them as a client, too, I wonder, where are you? Beyond loyalty to the process of law how do you view this law when it comes to expanding our personal freedoms?&#8221; Same thing as Drinan saying: &#8220;We need law that works better for average Americans.&#8221; Durbin said, &#8220;Is it important enough for you to say, &#8216;In some instances I will not use my skills as a lawyer because I don\u2019t believe that\u2019s a cause that\u2019s consistent with my values and beliefs?\u2019 That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been asking.&#8221; Now, this answer is 44 seconds. He just&#8230; In 44 seconds, John Roberts destroys the whole notion that the purpose of law is social activism, making law fair and better for average Americans and all that. Here is his answer.<\/line><BR\/> ROBERTS: I had someone ask me in this process &#8212; I don\u2019t remember who it was, but somebody asked me &#8212; you know, &#8220;Are you going to be on the side of the little guy,&#8221; and you obviously want to give an immediate answer, but as you reflect on it, if the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy is going to win in court before me. But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy is going to win because my obligation is to the Constitution. That\u2019s the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that I\u2019ll look out for particular interests; I\u2019ll be on the side of particular interests. The oath is to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that\u2019s what I would do. <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And he has just, in the process of nuking Durbin, he\u2019s just nuked Justice Breyer as well. If the little guy should win, he\u2019s going to win. If the big guy should win, then he\u2019s going to win. That\u2019s my obligation. That\u2019s the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that I\u2019ll look out for particular interests, particularly my own. &#8220;I\u2019ll be on the side of particular interests.&#8221; No, the oath is to uphold the Constitution and laws. Let\u2019s go back to Breyer. Here\u2019s the topper. Breyer is explaining how he looked at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/\/home\/menu\/fstack.guest.html\">French<\/a> law in a case concerning the foreign sovereign immunities act. Now, you can try to follow this, and note that our Constitution is not mentioned.<\/line><BR\/>BREYER: Mrs. Altman, who had an uncle who lived in Vienna when the Nazis were there, he left. His paintings stayed, and the six Klimt paintings that he owned ended up in a museum where they are now, and she brought a lawsuit. Can she do so under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act? The key case that <emphasize>explained <\/emphasize>the concept to me of what this act is about, I found it &#8212; don\u2019t tell anyone &#8212; I found it in an intermediate appeals court in Paris which had the famous case of Christian Dior against King Farouk &#8212; the ex-King Farouk, very important, because the question was: Can Christian Dior sue ex-King Farouk for the bill for his wife\u2019s clothes, or is it in fact that he enjoys sovereignty immunity? &#8220;Well,&#8221; said the court, &#8220;You did, but you\u2019re no longer king, and therefore pay up.&#8221; All right. That was enlightening to me, that case, and indeed it helped Mrs. Altman.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And I\u2019m not a legal scholar here, but if the case being decided is about the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.law.berkeley.edu\/faculty\/ddcaron\/Documents\/RPID%20Documents\/rp04039.html\">Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act<\/a>, then of course you\u2019d decide it on that basis! This case involved things that happened in Vienna and in Paris and so forth. That\u2019s not what we\u2019re talking about in importing foreign law. I don\u2019t know, folks. I use all of this for one reason, and that\u2019s to try to underscore for all of you who think that I am opposed Harriet Miers simply because I\u2019m joining a crowd or because I don\u2019t like what the president did. These things all matter to me, and it\u2019s about far more than one case, Roe vs. Wade. You talking about big guys winning and little guys winning? Look at Kelo. Now, according to Father Drinan, the Kelo decision should have been decided in favor of the little guy, and that would not have been how it is decided. Kelo was decided in favor of the big guy, and Kelo was decided, by the way, in a way that the Constitution doesn\u2019t say. They\u2019re having now to go to Congress and rewrite the Fifth Amendment, the eminent domain clause, because it was misinterpreted by the Supreme Court. You realize few liberals disagreed with Kelo? You know why fewer liberals disagreed? A lot of people said, &#8220;Oh, this is a decision that favors big developers. This is a decision of big-money guys, and this is what\u2019s wrong with the country.&#8221; No, it\u2019s not. Kelo is a decision that favors <emphasize>GOVERNMENT<\/emphasize>! That\u2019s why the liberals liked it. It gave government all kinds of power. Government can kick the little guy out of his and her homes and sell those home to a big developer who\u2019s going to pay a higher tax base to the government. Well, that\u2019s not what the takings clause was about. It\u2019s not what it is about. It\u2019s just been bastardized, and it gets bastardized because you have justices on the court who will sit there and impose their personal policy preferences rather than try to get the original intent of the Constitution. So I hope all of this has helped. <\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Good old Justice Stephen Breyer is continuing to speak.
