Excellent Idea
The most interesting part of Rosencranz’s remarks is a proposal for a constitutional amendment declaring that foreign and international law should not be relied upn to interpret or construe the U.S. Constitution.
Political push for this outcome should be attempted sooner than later since the more judges use international law for justification the less outrage there will be for it.

Yes, I can see how “…all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby…” is a silly thing to even consider. Whatever fool wrote that was clearly ’smoking the crack’, since international law is nonsense, and -certainly- shouldn’t enter into the thoughts of judges.
