In this country perhaps, not the US, they tend to do their own thing. F'rinstance the US is not a signatory to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The one that deals with war crimes and such.
It seems you missed it, but Justice Thomas has already suggested that the Supeme Court revisit their rulings on contraception, gay marriage and sodomy. I suspect that the only reason he didn't suggest bringing back laws against racially mixed marriages is because his marriage is one such.
In terms of 'modern western society' the US is rather backward. They have long paid too much attention to what other people were doing in their bedrooms, and latterly which toilet they used.
