So is the Tenth Circuit now saying its okay to stone women to death who are victims of rape? The good people of Oklahoma should be applauded for rejecting that barbarity known as Sharia law, and shame on the Tenth Circuit for apparently accepting it as just another set of religious beliefs which must be accomodated by the courts.

“overwhelmingly approved by Oklahoma voters last year, prevents judges from basing rulings on international law and specifically mentions Islamic law, often known as Shariah law. “
Isn’t this a good thing as they must pass laws based on the Constitution - not other laws?

So another form of government is allowed to trump US law?
On our soil?
Let those judges offer up their daughters to honor killings and acid attacks or cutting off their fingers for wanting an education, then get back to me.

So... laws are no longer interpreted on the U.S. Constitution, opening the way for Sharia to become codified in America.
Pray for whatever is left of this dying country....

The Tenth Circuit is ruling that Okalahoma cannot ban the use of Sharia law through an amendment to its state constitution.
To: Jean S
It’s okay . . . sometimes these court decisions and legal articles are have so many double negatives in them it does get confusing!
To: AtlasStalled
Through what means can a state ban Sharia then?

If the 10th circuit court is right, who gets to decide what law rules the people? Clearly not the people who approved the amendment. If the 10th circuit court decided Sharia or Scottish law, or International Law is suitable, what say do the people have? Apparently they cannot say no.
How is this not tyranny?

The court ruled that, for starters, the law discriminated on the basis of religion No... the law prevents OTHER laws -- religious or otherwise -- that conflict with the U.S. Constitution from being given consideration.

The Governor of OK can now announce she is ignoring the ruling, citing the following:
(1) 1st Amendment: "CONGRESS shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion....", and
(2) 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
PERIOD. NO Federal court has jurisdiction over OK on this matter.
