Have you had a look at their policy wishlist on their website? Most of it is actually quite sensible.

And the oldest profession in the world is money-lending =P

Oh and lol at the SCOTUS decisions impacting foreign constitutional law, but Scalia et al refusing to use foreign law to inform understanding of US Constitutional law.

How parochial.

Yes, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, but I was under the impression that the full title of the House of Lords (as a court) was the Judicial Board. However, a quick Google search reveals that I am wrong.

That is a really fascinating article. Probably something to do with overseas courts being too lazy to find ratio in 4:3 decisions where each justice rules on a completely different rationale to the others.

I always though it was the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Anyway, have you read this article. It notes that SCOTUS is guiding fewer and fewer overseas courts. Something about poor quality of jurisprudence...

“The South is another country, they do things differently there,” has always been, and continues to be, a cop-out.
