Justice Breyer: Number of Cases With Global Implications Growing

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer tells Newsmax TV the nation's highest court must now think internationally because of the growing number of cases that have global implications.

"You have to know something about what's going on beyond our shores, whether its law or practices or copyright or security," Breyer said in an interview with J.D. Hayworth on "Newsmax Prime."

"All kinds of things in order to get the right answer to a question about American law. [It's] maybe 10 or 15 percent of our cases now."

Breyer is the author of "The Court and the World: American Law and the New Global Realities," published by Knopf, which discusses the court's expanded responsibilities in handling legal questions with an eye on their international repercussions.

This is the liberal judge who likes to use international law to form his opinions, rather than focusing on US law (which is what he is there to do).

This is why it is sooo important to have the voice of the people in the elected and subsequently appointed officials!
