Harold Koh must NOT be approved!

You may or may not know, that Obama has put forth this ‘activist’ to become the State Department’s top legal adviser. BAD CHOICE!
From an article at Front Page Magazine:

Koh served as the head of Yale Law School. In that prominent and influential position, he offered opinions reflecting his staunch “transnationalist” views – that is, Koh believes that distinctions between U.S. law and international law should be eliminated – inevitably in favor of the latter’s latest anti-American whims. According to his writings, Harold Koh thinks it is “appropriate for the Supreme Court to construe our Constitution in light of foreign and international law” when “American legal rules seem to parallel those of other nations;” when “foreign courts have applied standards roughly comparable to our own constitutional standards in roughly comparable circumstances;” and “when a U.S. constitutional concept, by its own terms, implicitly refers to a community standard.”

Tell me… just WHY the Hell do care about the ‘international standards’ , OR how they compare to OUR Constitution….. the document HE WILL HAVE TO SWEAR TO UPHOLD if he IS approved???

…. in addressing the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, Koh claimed that “in an appropriate case, he didn’t see any reason why Sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.”

Um…. He opines about ‘human rights’ then supports a legal system ( Sharia ) that is DYNAMICALLY APPOSED to them???

“He feels it is all right for the Supreme Court to look to the opinions of mankind and foreign courts on reaching their decisions on constitutional issues, rather than just U.S. common law and our legal tradition. Making decisions on delicate social issues and human rights issues is difficult enough without international voices chiming in, and having as much say as U.S. cultural and social norms.”

I agree… this is America… Not Europe… not Asia… not Africa… we already have a sufficient legal system in place….
