OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A federal judge has granted a request to prevent the state of Oklahoma from certifying election results for a constitutional amendment that would bar state courts from considering international or Islamic law when deciding cases.
U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange said Monday she granted the preliminary injunction against State Question 755 until she rules on the merits of a challenge to the law. The law was approved by 70 percent of Oklahoma voters in a Nov. 2 referendum.

Is this judge a dim-bulb-crat?
If yes, why bother?
The constitution? We don’t need no stinkin’ constitution.
Can anyone please tell me how a court can simply throw out a state referendum that has passed with a vast majority approval?
And if the courts had a problem with the referendum why was it not stopped prior to the vote?
Thanks

No elected officials with the balls to IGNORE the witch.
The state of Oklahoma should just ignore her order. It is called nullification. It is constitutional and part of our laws. Just ignore her stay. It is time to stand up against the evil, out-of-control federal government!
It has always been about the judges, since more and more "law" was determined by a court and not a Constitutional Congress.
We'd better face it and be prepared for revolution.
God bless Glenn Beck, but brother, they're rubbing our face in the $h!t of their own making.
That's not the strange part - federal courts hear challenges to referendums passed by states with some frequency. The strange part is that this judge found that someone had standing to sue before the law was even enacted. For a variety of reasons, I'm not quite sure how that works.
Democrats, unable to win elections at the ballot boxes, have turned to the judiciary to effect the results “we deserve if we only weren’t too dumb to vote properly in the first place”.
KLINTOON APPOINTEE
If a "case" never gets to a court (no one has standing regarding zero's BC, remember?) ... it can't be nullified.
What CAN happen is a defiant ignoring of the ruling and dare the gummint to come n' get us.
Actually both parties are responsible. The Congress has the power to check the judiciary, but refuse to do so and have refused for years.
You have to ask?
To make the best use of time, start drafting the articles of her impeachment now, to be introduced in the House in January.
What I was referring to was State Legislature nullification not jury nullification, as in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_and_Virginia_Resolutions.
Yes down-right ignoring the ruling would work too! Either way just say no to Bozo and the a$$clowns.
Yes - this judge is a Clinton appointee (if what I remember reading is correct).
But exactly what authority does this judge have to block certification of election results? It is one thing to issue an injunction against implementation of a law, but to block certification?
The absolute ONLY reason a judge could possibly have jurisdiction over the certification of election results is if there are questions about the voting itself (massive evidence of widespread voter fraud being a good example). Block the certification of the process was faulty. But this judge is WAY out of line blocking certification of this measure - there are no questions of the integrity of the vote itself.
OK and TX need to join up and both press forward a bill in their state legislatures taking steps to leave the Union. Several other states should join in with them... but don’t have the backbone in their legislatures... but OK and TX just might.
Because if the referendum lost then the point would be moot?

hey judge...
The states are guaranteed military and civil defense by the federal government, which is also obligated by Article IV, Section Four, to “guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government.”
how is Sharia a republican form of government ?
This decision can and should be ignored, because the Constitution does not grant any power to any branch of the Federal government to control certification of any State election, unless there is an allegation or finding that the election was administered illegally.
“Infidels”* vs. Islamic influenced government.
*Infidel= Patriotic American
