Men in Black. Subverting the will of the people. This has got to stop.

I tried to bring up the link, but all I got was the site heading, but no writing.

Since when do judges WRITE or SAY what is in state constitutions????

Hey pal - it is YOUR JOB to follow what is written.

[Skeez]

what's so wrong with this? /sarc

[Tzimisce]

...the US government is arguing that it CAN use Shariah law to render its verdicts?

I guess it’s “separation of church and state” not “separation of mosque and state”....

[ScottfromNJ]

The state of Oklahoma should simply assert its right to enforce the amendment. This is a state issue, and since the amendment doesn’t conflict with the U.S. constitution and actually supports it, the federal judge has no business sticking her nose into it.

Islam is subversive to the Constitution. In fact, Islam and its so-called “holy law” (shari’a) are the Constitution and Bill of Rights turned upside down. Islam joins together “church” and state to form a theocratic dictatorship. Saudi Arabia is a good example, where their “constitution” is the Koran, their law is shari’a, and all other (real) religious practices are banned. Islam should not be viewed as a true religion, since it promotes evil and barbaric violence against anyone who is not a Muslim, and any Muslim who rejects Islam. Islam belongs to the 7th century, not the 21st.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The will of the people is what makes the law - unless some liberal judge doesn’t like the will of the people.

[TheDon]

In today's order, the judge wrote that Awad "has made a strong showing that State Question 755's amendment's primary effect inhibits religion and that the amendment fosters an excessive government entanglement with religion."

Huh? What's the judge been smoking?

[Never on my watch]

Some OK judge now needs to cite international law and sentence the next death penalty convict to beheading.

[Free Vulcan]

Really going to be interesting to hear the ACLU’s take on this.

[Revel]

The judicial system seriously needs to be overhauled to keep judges from legislating from the bench, and from going against the will of voters for political or philosophical reasons. These judges have got to be stopped because ultimately they are dictators who hold power over everyone else. Yes- Even congress. We need to write whatever laws are necessarily to stop them. And we cannot allow them to rule against such law which is the first thing they would do.

[ducttape45]

Holy Cow! When will this stop? I’m tired of leftist judge subverting the will of the people.
