- W312596271 abstract "[T]he science of jurisprudence, pride of human intellect, which with all its defects, redundancies, and errors is collected reason of ages, combining principles of original justice with infinite variety of human concerns . . . . I. Introduction: Transnational Jurisprudence and Challenge to Comparative Constitutional Theory [I]rrelevant are practices of 'world community,' whose notions of justice are (thankfully) not always those of our people.2 These words of Justice Antonin Scalia are hardly reassuring to those of us who study and write about some of these practices, believing perhaps that justice and his colleagues might benefit in some small way from what we have learned from our travels and reflection. To be sure, fact that Justice Scalia's sentiment was voiced in course of questioning appropriateness of another Justice's invocation of foreign experience suggests that there may actually be some judicial receptivity to comparative insights and findings. But that only begs question of why there should be. question came up again on last day of 2002 Supreme Court term when, in his opinion for Court striking down Texas homosexual sodomy statute, Justice Anthony Kennedy cited several decisions of European Court of Human Rights in support of majority's holding in case.3 The right petitioners seek in case has been accepted as an integral part of human freedom in many other countries.4 In response, Justice Scalia dismissed [t]he Court's discussion of these foreign views as meaningless, but [d]angerous dicta,5 repeating now familiar refrain that this Court. . . should not impose foreign moods, fads, or fashions on Americans.6 Given momentousness of legal change wrought by decision, exchange received only passing glance in extensive commentary immediately following its announcement. It has since received more attention; Robert Bork, for example, has cited to foreign sources in Lawrence v. Texas (along with Grutter v. Bollinger)7 as episodes in an absurd turn in our jurisprudence that reflects arrogance of power of modern judiciary.8 [E]ven Scalia at his gloomiest probably did not foresee [how new Constitution] might be designed bit by bit from European, Asian, and African models.9 In recent book, he connects jurisprudential turn with one of his longstanding concerns, the transnational culture war.10 Along similar lines, Ken Kersch discovered in seemingly benign references to foreign sources a vast and ongoing intellectual project, part of sophisticated effort to transform American constitutional law and its interpretation. As result, [e]ventually, and possibly sooner than we think, nature and path of American constitutional development will be radically altered.12 These reactions may very well exaggerate influence of external sources in outcomes of these cases, and arguably they overstate broader jurisprudential significance of infusion from abroad. They do, however, address an important issue concerning role of constitutional theory in comparative law. specific problem that concerns me is suggested in Justice Scalia's objection to judicial deployment of comparative examples by Court in overturning controversial ruling in Bowers v. Hardwick.13 That case withheld status of fundamental right to consensual sexual relations between homosexuals (as well as others who perform acts of sodomy in their intimate associations) on ground that behavior in question was not deeply rooted in history and tradition.14 This provoked Justice Scalia to underscore words this Nation's and to observe that Bowers majority opinion, contrary to implication in Justice Kennedy's opinion, had not relied on values we share with wider civilization.15 His own implication was that, in contrast with Lawrence, strength of Bowers was evident in local ingredients that went into its making. …" @default.
