The Muslims are coming! The Muslims are coming! Some day, anyway -- it could happen, and Oklahoma isn't OK with it. I mean, we really need to trash our secular constitution and make judicial decisions rely on a few selected Jewish commandments palatable to Christian godbothers, but we are simply not going to sleep at night unless we make it illegal for Judges to be swayed by other, illegal religions like Islam; not in Oklahoma.
No, Okies need to "Save our State" and have proposed an amendment to the State constitution making it illegal for judges to reference Sharia or any other international law and as 0.8% of Oklahomans are Muslim, we can't waste any more time in saving the state from the bearded menace. What is needed is a "pre-emptive strike" says State Representative Rex Duncan (Republican of course.) "Court decisions ought to be based on federal law, or state law" says he.
Of course I agree that they should. yet Federal law just might have a problem with the legislature interfering with judicial decisions and process. Beyond that, I think Federal and State laws should be free of any dependence on Christian doctrines as well, but we're talking about Oklahoma here and we're talking about Republicans everywhere and how can we expect even a modest amount of moral or logical consistency?
Arizona opened up a big can of hysteria with their immigration act. Do you think the OK amendment bill was thus inspired? Now, AZ is looking to alter the law that gives children born in the U.S. full citizenship. Here we go!

Good boy!

ReplyDeleteCute! A constitutional amendment that is unconstitutional. In Okie La La Land, thou shall henceforth call living adults undead corpses, and for breakfast, thou shall no longer order fried eggs but fried unborn chickens.
I'm proud to be an Okie from
ReplyDeleteMuskogee,
A place where even squares can
have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at
the courthouse,
And white lightnin's still the
biggest thrill of all
And we won't hear no Spanish in
Muskogee,
We don't want to eat at Taco Bell.
We don't think much of that book
learnin
And you can always tell us by the
smell.
