"distinctions between the U.S. and international laws should vanish."
"didn't see any reason why Sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States. Sharia law over our Constitution"
"a fan of transnational legal process, arguing that distinctions between the U.S. and international laws should vanish. How does this work in real life? California, Proposition 8. People decided, went to the courts. Courts say fine; people say fine, we want it, we want it this way. He believes that the courts and the people have no right to say that because of international law. In Canada and the European human rights commission and the United Nations, they all say gay marriage should be legal. And because the United Nations says that, it doesn't matter what the people of California want."
These are the views of Harold Koh who is on his way to one of the most powerful legal positions in the country, and what if Beck is right and this guy ends up on the Supreme Court?
