Here’s some foreign law that no U.S. court will cite



The highest court in France ruled Tuesday that the non-birth-mother partner of a lesbian birth mother cannot adopt her. The court said there is nothing in French law to permit same-sex couples to be co-parents. You can access an article about the ruling here

Two observations about this case. First, at least some courts in other nations are showing “judicial restraint” and not imposing the homosexual agenda on the populace by judicial fiat. They respect the role of the lawmakers to make public policy.

Second, this shows the arbitrary and selective nature of U.S. courts utilizing foreign court decisions to interpret the Constitution. Only some U.S. judges use foreign law to do so, and they only do so when the foreign court decision advances some liberal public policy goal that American lawmakers refuse to enact. I doubt greatly that any U.S. Court will cite this French case to reject the interpretation of the Constitution urged by homosexual activists.
