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.

You have it exactly right.
This is similar to Montana and the FFA. The Firearms Freedom Act which originally was introduced and passed in Montana, the FFA declares that any firearms made and retained in-state are beyond the authority of Congress under its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the states. The FFA is primarily a Tenth Amendment challenge to the powers of Congress under the commerce clause, with firearms as the object.
These judges who think they can suspend anything they don't like need to be told to go pound sand.

Except our governor is a weenie. She is unlikely to stand up for much, except to say what she thinks we Okies want to hear. All hat and no cattle.

" . . . NO Federal court has jurisdiction over OK on this matter. That may be true, but the Constitution guarantees a Republican form of government to all the states. In the area of personal rights, the Bill of Rights is considered the supreme law of the land and whatever any state wants to enact must first be in pursuance to the supreme law of the land -- defined as the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.
This is the critical article which prevents sharia law from gaining a foothold in America.
