Quotes-start.png "The United States Supreme Court frequently rules on the legality of the administration's measures. But the difference is that the US has a defined constitution, framed at the birth of the republic, which reflects the country's own political mores and is straightforward in its application. The ECHR, by contrast, is an alien import, articulating a series of airy and contradictory principles which leave judges almost total scope for interpretation." Quotes-end.png
