I later clarified that the Supreme Court has used foreign law to determine the legality of something. Which makes sense, given that they occupy the top of the legal food chain and sometimes, the laws on the books aren't sufficient to make a ruling on a case. If they don't look outside the Constitution when the Constitution doesn't give them the answers they need, what else can they do? Make something up?
Also, I'd like to clarify the difference between "citing", "mentioning", and "ruling". They are very different things. Judges often put crazy shit in their rulings and cite some pretty weird shit. It doesn't necessarily mean they ruled the case based on the crazy shit they added to their memorandums.
