CapitolLink: Rep. Poe On The Supreme Constitution
Texas Republican Ted Poe cited his past as a judge a week ago in arguing that prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are being treated fairly. And today at The Huffington Post he mentions it again.
The message this time: Poe knows the Constitution, and he knows that too many justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are not adhering to it when they include the thinking of foreign courts in their rationale for U.S. legal decisions.
"I submit that looking to foreign court decisions is as relevant as using the writings of Reader's Digest, a Sears and Roebuck catalog, a horoscope, my grandmother's recipe for the common cold, tea leaves, star gazing, or the local gossip at the barbershop in Cut N' Shoot, Texas," Poe wrote.
