Re: If Obama Imposes the U.N. Gun Ban...
I remember that too, don't remember who said it.Hoi Polloi wrote:One scary thing is that several SCOTUS quotes I've read say that they take international treaties and laws into account when deciding the constitutionality of decisions before them.
If I recall correctly, Scalia had a few scathing public remarks over that.
