Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O'Connor and Clarence Thomas are set to meet Wednesday through Friday with European judges and scholars to discuss the new European Constitution. And most of those five justices are also making other trips this summer to locales such as Luxembourg, Paris and Salzburg.
In short, another typical summer of international travel for the modern day Supreme Court. But the justices' wanderlust has taken on extra significance in light of the Court's newfound interest in invoking the rulings and views of foreign courts and international authorities in its own jurisprudence.
