Two very disturbing things about Harold Koh:

First, which explains a lot about the mess the country is in, this dickhead was the Dean of Yale Law School.
Second, President B. Cartman Obama wants said dickhead to be the bigshot legal guy in the State Department.
What would this look like in a practical sense? Well, California voters have overruled their courts, which had imposed same-sex marriage on the state. Koh would like to see such matters go up the chain through federal courts -- which, in turn, should look to the rest of the world. If Canada, the European Human Rights Commission and the United Nations all say gay marriage should be legal -- well, then, it should be legal in California too, regardless of what the state's voters and elected representatives might say.

He even believes judges should use this "logic" to strike down the death penalty, which is clearly permitted in the US Constitution.

The primacy of international legal "norms" applies even to treaties we reject. For example, Koh believes that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child -- a problematic document that we haven't ratified -- should dictate the age at which individual US states can execute criminals. Got that? On issues ranging from affirmative action to the interrogation of terrorists, what the rest of the world says, goes.

Including, apparently, the world of radical imams. A New York lawyer, Steven Stein, says that, in addressing the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, Koh claimed that "in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States."

Want to bet he's just hell on separation of Church and State when it applies to Christian or Jewish belief?

A spokeswoman for Koh said she couldn't confirm the incident, responding: "I had heard that some guy . . . had asked a question about sharia law, and that Dean Koh had said something about that while there are obvious differences among the many different legal systems, they also share some common legal concepts."
Oh, of COURSE she couldn't confirm it; so she plays legal wording to get around it.

From the sound of it, he'd like to have Bill Ayers(terrorist dickhead/Friend of Obama) consulting, too; they'll probably get along well together. And you know he'd just love to have that treaty screwing the 2nd Amendment into a disposal passed; why, it'd bring us into line with all the other countries with disarmed peasants! And that oath he'd have to take, that part about 'supporting and defending the Constitution'? No problem, he'll just ignore it. What's your word worth when you have International Agreements to put together...
