[Baptist press news] March 3, 2005--The ACLU does and has been pushing for more foreign invasion of American jurisprudence through national conferences and litigation advocacy.

Simmons, which invoked foreign law in interpreting the Eighth Amendment, the ACLU praised the move, saying in a statement, “It is worth noting that six members of the Supreme Court ... expressly upheld the relevance of international law and practice in determining [how to interpret] our own Constitution.”
