: The Volokh ConspiracyForeign Law and the Constitution, Kagan Edition
By Kenneth Anderson
From the AP account of the Kagan confirmation hearing of the now presumably de rigueur question of candidates ? foreign law and interpretation of the US constitution.
Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan says foreign law could be useful ?for getting good ideas? when interpreting the Constitution but that justices should not feel bound by it ? international law can be used as a guide, but it should not be considered binding when deciding Supreme Court cases because the Constitution is a unique document.
