Obama May Have a Chance to Nominate Supreme Court Justices - Nov 17, 2008
There are growing concerns over who Barack Obama may have in mind for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, or C-FAM, is taking a look at potential Supreme Court nominees, since president-elect Obama will fill at least one chair and perhaps more. C-FAM spokesman Piero Tozzi takes a look at one strong candidate, Yale Law School dean Harold Hongju Koh. Tozzi believes he would be dangerous to American interests.
"Dean Koh [has a] penchant for using foreign law sources, and he has argued in amicus briefs and law review articles in favor of importing foreign decisions into U.S. constitutional interpretation," he explains.
Harold KohThe balance of potential candidates, Tozzi notes, tends to lean far to the left. However, he says Obama's possible choices are no reason for the pro-life and pro-family community to go into hiding. "We have got to make people aware of just how radical the president is on abortion -- and it's an opportunity, I think, for a little soul-searching and also to rally the troops."
Tozzi contends a battle is indeed ahead, but it must be fought.
