WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) has introduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would combat the use of international laws by American courts by affirming that any judicial decisions should not be based on any foreign laws, court decisions, or pronouncements of foreign governments unless they are expressly approved by Congress.

"The Reaffirmation of American Independence Resolution," or H.RES. 568, was submitted last month and has 59 co-sponsors in the House.

THANK GOD! It's about time someone did this. I think the Supreme Court sometimes forgets we are a Sovereign Nation.

I don't like some ~~ok many~~ of the laws our Congress comes up with, but at least we have a say in electing the people who make them. To think that some other country has any say in how we are goverened, or the laws we are governed under is frightening. Our Supreme Court and all the courts should only look to the Constitution and Bill of Rights and nothing should supersede those.
