More on Ginsberg

By Austin Ruse | August 5, 2010

Duncan Hollis at Opinio Juris cites the same speech wherein Ginsberg suggested that Judges could also cite legal blogs in their decisions.

“Judges in the United States, after all, are free to consult all manner of commentary — Restatements, Treatises, what law professors or even law students write copiously in law reviews, and, in the internet age, any number of legal blogs.  If we can consult those sources, why not the analysis of a question similar to the one we confront contained, for example, in an opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the German Constitutional Court, or the European Court of Human Rights?”

Oh my, from citing the founders to citing European lefties to citing bloggers. Where will it end?
