What's wrong with the Supreme Court taking note of International Precendents?

To sum up in FUNHL language, because when our league has a problem that requires resolution, we don't consult how ESPN solved it with their rules - we consult our own.

I do wonder though if the Breyer/Stevens quotes are taken in their full context. It does seem uncommonly sloppy to justify an American legal decision on the death penalty relying soley on nternational grounds.

Perhaps we can get the Highlanders GM to comment?
