Why are these freaks here? If they don’t like America or it’s laws, then stay the heck back in that third world desert and leave well enough alone. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

[StAnDeliver]

Ok, so what we need here is a Constitutional Amendment that says Federal judges may only be retained for 4 years by the people they purport to represent after which they stand for a vote (you would retain/not retain the judges in your Circuit).

Yes, I know that would eventually remove some Conservative judges as well, but the bulk of the removals would be Leftists, and there are many who prefer the substantial paycheck to real work, ie, you would see a significant number of weak Leftist judges yield to the supreme power of Constitutionalism in order to save their McMansions and bigazz retirement.

Actually I would do something simpler like have judges removed if they are overruled three times after directly contravening the Constitution. But an Amendment is what must be done.

BTW, this is no accident -- these judges are "sending up" these cases (Cali, Iowa, etc.) because they believed The One Term would appoint 3 Supremes in his second term.

Those of you who move exclusively in Conservative circles (luckily) have no idea how much Demogeddon2010 has shook up Leftists down to their rotten core...

[ducttape45]

Un-by-God believable. Another case of a liberal judge throwing out the will of the people. It’s time to make federal judges be accountable by elections and term limits.

[Hoodat]

They ruled the Constitution to be unconstitutional?

[I got the rope]

If I were the governor I would ignore the judge.

Here is the full text of what we voted for.

It makes courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts from considering or using Sharia Law.

International law is also known as the law of nations. It deals with the conduct of international organizations and independent nations, such as countries, states and tribes. It deals with their relationship with each other. It also deals with some of their relationships with persons.

The law of nations is formed by the general assent of civilized nations. Sources of international law also include international agreements, as well as treaties.

SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED? FOR THE PROPOSAL Yes: __________

AGAINST THE PROPOSAL No: __________

State Question No.: 756 Legislative Referendum No. 356

RESOLUTION OR BILL NUMBER: SJR 59

CITATION: New Const. Art 2, Section 37

SUBJECT: Health Care System

BALLOT TITLE: This measure adds a new section of law to the State Constitution. It adds Section 37 to Article 2. It defines “health care system.” It prohibits making a person participate in a health care system. It prohibits making an employer participate in a health care system. It prohibits making a health care provider provide treatment in a health care system. It allows persons and employees to pay for treatment directly. It allows a health care provider to accept payment for treatment directly. It allows the purchase of health care insurance in private health care systems. It allows the sale of health insurance in private health care systems.

The measure’s effect is limited. It would not affect any law or rule in effect as of January 1, 2010.

Nor could the measure affect or negate all federal laws or rules. The United States Constitution has a Supremacy Clause. That clause makes federal law the supreme law of the land. Under that clause Congress has the power to preempt state law. When Congress intends to preempt state law, federal law controls. When Congress intends it, constitutionally enacted federal law would preempt some or all of the proposed measure.

AGAINST THE PROPOSAL No: __________

[random_user_827]

70% of Oklahoma says yes.

One judge says no.

The law is shot down.

What’s right with this picture?

[patriot preacher]

Oklahoma should tell the Federal Court Judge where he (or she) can go.

[TheThinker]

And how is any court able to circumvent the 10th Amendment?

Answer: Because we allow it.

[Safrguns]

The ruling is a violation of the 1st ammendment, and is therefore grounds for the judge to be removed for cause.

ONE WORD: IMPEACH!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange ...

Supreme Sandwich Just-us Elana Kagan also thinks that Federal judges have that power.

[SkyPilot]

Chief Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange was the first African-American to be appointed to the federal bench in Oklahoma. Her appointment by President Bill Clinton in 1994 also made her the first African-American federal judge in the six-state region of the federal Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Her sponsoring senator was then Senator David Boren, who is currently president of the University of Oklahoma. President Clinton had previously appointed her to serve as United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma. She was the first woman to hold that position and one of the first female U.S. attorneys in the nation. Judge Miles-LaGrange was the first African-American woman elected to the Oklahoma State Senate. She served as a senator from 1986-1993, advocating for programs benefiting children, families, educations, law and justice. While serving in the Oklahoma Legislature, Judge Miles-LaGrange was engaged in the private practice of law in the firm of Miles-LaGrange & Colbert. Earlier in her career, Judge Miles-LaGrange worked as both a federal and state prosecutor. She prosecuted Nazi war criminals for the U.S. Department of Justice, and she prosecuted sex crimes as an assistant district attorney in Oklahoma County. Judge Miles-LaGrange is a cum laude graduate of Vassar College and, while a student there, received a certificate from the University of Ghana. She received her law degree from Howard University, where she was an editor of The Howard Law Journal. During law school, she worked as a congressional aide for the late Speaker of the U. S. House of Representative Carl Albert. After law school, she clerked for Judge Woodrow Seals on the U.S. District Court in Houston, Texas. Chief Judge Miles-LaGrange served as a member of the International Judicial Relations Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1999-2005 and chaired that committee’s Africa Working Group. Her rule of law work has taken her to Rwanda, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Cape Verde China and Brazil. She has taught in China at Tianjin University of Finance and Economics and at Tsinghua University School of Law, at the Harvard University Law School Advocacy Workshop, and at the Attorney General’s National Advocacy Center for federal prosecutors. She has received numerous honors, including induction into the Oklahoma Women’s Hall of Fame, Oklahoma African-American Hall of Fame, Child Advocates Hall of Fame and Mid-America Educational Hall of Fame. She is a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma, Class V, and Leadership Oklahoma City, Class V. The Chief Judge holds an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Oklahoma City University.

[panthermom]

It is no wonder I am aggravated all the time. I live in a world I am not familiar with.

Silly me thought the US was a sovereign nation with our own laws.

[Vaquero]

and the state of OKLAHOMA just needs to bring back their National Guard where ever they are and tell the feds....

MAKE ME!

this is a state law and has nothing to do with the feds.

[Grunthor]

What happens when a state just ignores the dictators in black robes?

[Sola Veritas]

Even more irritating is that the person that filed the suit is NOT an Oklahoma resident and DOES NOT HAVE STANDING. The judge should never have listened to the case.

Funny has “Standing” is only important to liberal judges when it involves suits against the POTUS.

[skookum55]

Very interesting.

[RJS1950]

Any consideration of islamic sharia law goes directly against the often used democrat party cry against separation of state from religion. Any religious law or doctrine of law cannot be considered or be deemed relevant in any court of law in this country.
