Justice Antonin Scalia on the internationalization of Supreme Court Opinions

"It will seem much more like real legal opinion if onecan cite a foreign opinion to support the philosophic, moral, or religious conclusion or pronouncement. You can put it right there in the opinion. It looks like legal opinion. It says so and so versus so and so. I dare say that few of us here would want our life or liberty subject to the dispensation of French or Italian criminal justice." Antonin Scalia
