Federal judge orders female genital mutilation charges dropped in Detroit

WJBK Detroit ^ | NOV 20 2018

The judge is correct in this case.

If genital mutilation affects interstate commerce, then everything does, and the interstate commerce clause is meaningless.

There has to be a limit on the regulation the federal government can do under the commerce clause.

This should be entirely a state issue, unless the people involved crossed state lines in order to have the deed performed.

That judge should be shot.

Every Muslim in our nation should denounce Shariah or be deported to wherever.

Convert to Western Civilization standards or GTFO of my home.

[SirLurkedalot]

And by denounce, I mean on video. Every clip published online.

As per Matt Brackens latest book.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

You should have lurked more.

[BobL]

You’re welcome - the fact that it was a Reagan judge made me want to look a bit more closely.

Sharia. That was the first thought that crossed my mind as I read this article. There’s a graph somewhere I’ve used before. It shows that as a Muslim population in any country increases so do the atrocities, so do the barbaric laws and practices.

[SirLurkedalot]

Feel free to explain.

[morphing libertarian]

now we have four women in congress who believe in Sharia even though it oppresses women.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Rewrite the law and charge her and anyone else under it, not the old laws which were just declared unconstitutional.

Then let a judge try to destroy them.

Time for American women to rise up against FGM and if the moslems don’t like it, let them go back home to their primitive mindset and caves.

Waiting for Streisand, Judd, Milano, Maddow, April Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Hironi, Elizabeth Phoney, and Rosie O’Donnell to start a nationwide campaign against FGM and to harass any judge who supports it “when it is good constitutional law”.

What’s next, legalizing the murder of unborn babies?

Protecting the transgender crowd’s right to mutilate itself .....

[Responsibility2nd]

I’ll never understand how anyone with political beliefs that oppose the Constitution and our laws can actually take the Oath of office and assume the duties of a congress critter.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

This judge struck down the law on Commerce Clause grounds, which is pretty much the Holy Grail for conservatives. Assuming it is appealed, this case has the potential to let the Supreme Court eventually strike down a bunch of intrusive federal laws -- particularly social-engineering laws -- that conservatives generally despise.

So you read that case, and said:

"That judge should be shot."

And that's why I said you perhaps should lurk (rather than post) more.

[Sam Gamgee]

So then where do assault and battery laws come from?

[Lurking Libertarian]

So then where do assault and battery laws come from?

Assault and battery laws are state laws, prosecuted in state court. The only federal assault laws involve assaulting federal officers while they are performing federal duties.

[Sam Gamgee]

OK thanks. Well, we can then hope states get busy in their legislatures to take a stand.

[SirLurkedalot]

What I should do is stop making comments based solely on the headline. 😬

[TexasGator]

All extenuating circumstances. Plain ole murder is not a federal crime.
