Conservative Libertarian Outpost

And there are still those that think the impostor in chief isn’t all about destroying America? Read on…

According to Harold Koh, Obama’s nominee for the State Department’s legal adviser and considered a possible future Obama Supreme Court pick, Shariah law (i.e., Islamic law) may properly be used to determine certain court cases. That’s just one of Koh’s off-the-wall positions. A former dean of Yale Law School, Koh is a proponent of what’s called a “transnational legal process,” which equates our constitutional process with laws instituted in other nations. That’s akin to accepting the currency of Zimbabwe (where a loaf of bread can cost billions) at a 1-to-1 ratio for our dollar — discounting the administration’s best efforts to match Zimbabwean hyperinflation. Koh believes that it’s “appropriate for the Supreme Court to construe our Constitution in the light of foreign and international law” in its decisions, regardless of the will of American voters. Think same-sex marriage, affirmative action and detainment of terrorists.

Koh has also claimed that together North Korea, Saddam-era Iraq and the United States compose an “axis of disobedience” because each “flagrantly” has disobeyed international law. But as far as disregarding the law himself, in 1994 he said, “I’d rather have [former Supreme Court Justice Harry] Blackmun, who uses the wrong reasoning in Roe [v. Wade] to get the right results, and let other people figure out the right reasoning.” In light of his obvious hostility to America and its Constitution, how can Koh take the oath to support and defend them?

In other nomination news, yet another Obama pick fessed up and paid back taxes this week — and it’s not an April Fool’s joke. Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius, who replaced tax cheat Tom Daschle, amended three years’ worth of returns and paid nearly $8,000 to the IRS for “unintentional errors.” Asked for his thoughts, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus said, “I think she should be confirmed.”
