Obama Pulls Another Radical Rabbit Out of His Hat and Plants Him in his Cabinet
Harold Koh, a former dean of Yale Law School, has been nominated by President Obama to be the State Department’s legal adviser.
Harold Koh believes in foreign precedent as a way to set the rule of law in the United States. He does not have a particular regard for the U.S. Constitution and has also considered a place for Sharia Law. He is a true believer of what he deems the “transnational legal process,” believing that the differences and disparities between U.S. law and International law should disappear.
Obama is also considering him as a possible U.S. Supreme Court appointee in the coming years. He would replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg nicely, since she is a progressive much like Harold Koh. However, Koh goes a little further than even Ginsberg and is a little more radical than she due to his beliefs in Sharia Law.
He also values the opinions of the world’s imams. A New York lawyer, Steven Stein, says Koh in 2007 told the Yale Club of Greenwich that “in an appropriate case, he didn’t see any reason why Shariah law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.”
