How interesting.

Ruling that the establishment of a regime of Sharia law cannot be prohibited?
How interesting.
To: OneWingedShark
Question: what happens if the State says to the judge shut the hell up, you have no authority here and then just ignore the ruling?If we were actually operating under the U.S. Constitution, the judge would have to shut up and go away.
Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
To: Publius
Problem: the Federal Constitution prohibits congress from enacting the establishment of a religion… how is barring sharia law from the State's own legal-system establishing a religion? Moreover, how can the first-amendment, which prohibits Congress from doing so, prohibit the states from doing so without the mechanism itself altering the text of the first amendment? And if the text thereof is altered, by what authority is it altered?

The 14th Amendment has been viewed by the federal courts as incorporating the Bill of Rights into the state constitutions. The 1st Amendment stands as written, but is incorporated upon the states by the 14th. That’s how the courts view it.

I don't know. It would be grand to see a governor stand up and defy the ruling. Let the stinkin’ Left compare the governor to George Wallace, as they most assuredly would do. It matters not.

and be 'incorporated' with any effect because as written it only constrains an entity called congress
, not a 'legislature' — therefore, they're full of shit.

Yep, scotus is adept at unconstitutionally enhancing its own powers.

Those who want to practice sharia law will eventually get arrested for breaking Judeo-Christian value laws and relative morality will spread under the guise of protected religion.
I can’t figure out how sharia can work in the USA without compromise from one system or the other.

We're talking the universe with the bearded Spock here. Fantastic reference. One of my favorite episodes, but I must qualify it by invoking Kirk's final words to the bearded Spock as he steps unto the transporter revealing the 'secret magic TV screen device' hidden by the trick wall painting, imploring him to use it to establish peace, cessation of war for the better good of his reverse, doppelganger dimension. Bearded Spock listens intently to Kirk's plea and seems to agree with him in using the device to the better good.

So if using it would violate the establishment clause and NOT using it would violate the establishment clause, then wtf do they expect people to do?
Maybe you cant use it, but you just cant put into words that you cant use it...

Seems to me that this law is just codifying the Supremacy Clause in Oklahoma, saying that no judge can use foreign or cultural laws to run roughshod over the Constitution.
The fact that CAIR has a problem with that should tell everybody all they need to know.
To: OneWingedShark
I’m sure this judge holds the position that Congress = All government (Federal, State, Local) as do all progressives. I was asking from THAT angle.
