I noticed the Edmonton Sun reference. I noted the actual law but will repeat it again:

At worst it’s redundant because that’s how courts should be operating regardless. That is, they’re only supposed to follow United States Constitution, the state Constitutions, and the United States Code. They’re not supposed to be following a UN resolution crafted in a Ugandan resort.

Correct, fortunately Americans have constitutional protections which the Brits lack. Pity for them. But while Americans don’t have to worry about such things being mandated, sometimes things that are permitted constitutionally have to be made illegal to deter unacceptable behaviour.
