Ah, so it's the result of my first complaint that they didn't invent a new language when the Constitution was written.

Actually, I've often heard it said that the biggest mistake our founders made with the Constitution was not making Article I "Definitions."

Originally posted by LegalPenguin Now, if someone in France comes up with an idea that makes a lot of sense, and a judge agrees with it, what then? He has to rule otherwise becuase France thought of it first?

I dunno. What's the date on these things? Perhaps it's in response to the death penalty ruling recently, where the judges referenced foreign laws against the death penalty for 17 year olds as part of the "standards" that have changed what is considered to be "cruel and unusual".

The judge will rule the same way and just won't mention the French rule.

The case would have been weakened here, I think.
