Isn't that special!
World Net Daily disgusts with Justice: Can Constitution make it in global age?
In a rare appearance on a television news show, Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer questioned whether the U.S. Constitution, the oldest governing document in use in the world today, will continue to be relevant in an age of globalism.
...
"We see all the time, Justice O'Connor and I, and the others, how the world really – it's trite but it's true – is growing together," Breyer said. "Through commerce, through globalization, through the spread of democratic institutions, through immigration to America, it's becoming more and more one world of many different kinds of people. And how they're going to live together across the world will be the challenge, and whether our Constitution and how it fits into the governing documents of other nations, I think will be a challenge for the next generations."
It's not just the illogic (it always was "one world of many different kinds of people"), it's the smarmy Kumbaya attitude.

But that's OK - unlike the President and Members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices don't take an oath to defend the Constitution.
