The part of the law that really is stupid is the part prohibiting courts from considering international law. If a foreign company invests in a US plant, what law applies? This is just the kind of well intentioned but poorly thought out idiocy that makes us look stupid. And it would have meant much less investment in Oklahoma.

Idiocy. When US firms invest in foreign countries, they have to abide by the laws of those countries. Foreign firms investing in the US have to abide by US laws.

And... This judge is an idiot!! I hope the OK AG appeals and ruins her life.
