Further proof that the America we used to know is NOT the American in we are living today.
In the words of U.S. District Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, a Bill Clinton, liberal apointee, “While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out, the court finds that the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual’s constitutional rights.”
And with that, she STRUCK DOWN an Amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution banning courts from considering SHARIA LAW in making their decisions.
Yes…
You read that correctly.
Judges and courts are now few to consider SHARIA LAW in the once great state of Oklahoma.
Oh boy…
Honor killings are protected under Sharia law.
Stonings are as well.
Violence towards women…Maiming…MURDER in many cases are all considered LAWFUL under Sharia law and now…OKLAHOMA COURTS are FREE TO CONSIDER SHARIA LAW when a defendant…a MUSLIM DEFENDANT…uses it as an excuse.
THIS IS ABSURD!!!!
It’s even more absurd when one takes into account that some 70% of Oklahomans voted in FAVOR of the Amendment BANNING the inclusion of Sharia law in their state.
The 1st Amendment, so crucial to our founders and framers that they listed it FIRST, states:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
CONGRESS shall make no law…CONGRESS…It says nothing of individual STATES and therefore…The STATES are FREE to set their OWN criteria in such matters but, that is NOT the way Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange sees it and in HER decision…SHE has legislated FROM THE BENCH.
In doing so, by allowing Sharia law to invade the courts of Oklahoma, she has also opened wide, the door to ANY laws from ANY culture to be considered in Oklahoma cases.
If you think this is going to stay confined to Oklahoma, think again.
THIS will be used as the TEMPLATE for liberals and those who embrace ISLAM to petition against any OTHER state attempting to pass such an amendment AND…It WILL be the inspiration for others to INSIST that THEIR cultural laws, “religious” or otherwise, to be considered in court cases around the country.
Remember…THIS judge is a U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE…FEDERAL…So this is NOT confined to just 1 STATE.
One can see the conundrum.
John Q. Public kills his daughter for not obeying him.
Ahmed Q. MUSLIM kills HIS daughter because she will not obey HIM.
John Q. Public gets LIFE while Ahmed Q. MUSLIM goes home…Protected by SHARIA LAW.
Or…
John Q. Public gets arrested for smoking dope in the park while John Q. Jamaican gets arrested for the same thing.
Mr. PUBLIC goes to the big house.
Mr. JAMAICAN is free to smoke dope in any park he wants because…HE is a RASTAFARIAN.
So…We now have a 1st Amendment issue thanks to a judge more than willing to legislate from the bench and…we ALSO have a problem here with the 14th Amendment.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
It is the last part of the 14th Amendment where we find another issue.
“…nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
In the examples cited above…Where, exactly, is the EQUAL PROTECTION???
In Oklahoma, one is MORE protected if they claim to be a devotee of SHARIA law than if they are just a garden variety AMERICAN.
For more perspective…Let’s use the current and despicable case evolving in Oklahoma as an example.
Last Friday, three teenagers…
Shot and killed a 20 year old Australian baseball player as he jogged in Duncan Oklahoma.
One of the thugs said, ‘We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.”
Given this obtuse judge’s decision, what now prevents these murderous thugs from claiming they had the “right” to murder because of some “cultural” ideology?
It’s completely absurd but, the door is now wide open FOR such a claim.
In Oklahoma, should a MUSLIM shop owner catch a shoplifter, the court would have to take under consideration, SHARIA law should that shop owner chop off the offender’s hand while in THIS country, such an act would be considered cruel and unusual punishment were it prescribed by the court.
In Oklahoma, a MUSLIM hanging a CHRISTIAN would have to be weighed under SHARIA law by the courts.
THESE are the sorts of things THIS judge, Vicki Miles-LaGrange, has opened the door to.
We are a nation of laws but, WHOSE laws seems to be the question.
If we are going to take the laws of OTHER cultures and ideologies into account in OUR courts, OUR laws are rendered useless. Every individual defendant will have to be tried with consideration given to that defendant’s chosen ideology or culture.
How does OUR system of trial by jury handle such a nightmare? How are JURORS supposed to be familiar with a WORLD of different ideological standards?
A jury could, arguably, convict someone based on OUR laws and a mistrial could be claimed based on that jury’s inability to make sense of a DIFFERENT set of written or unwritten laws. A jury could ACQUIT a defendant and yet, under a DIFFERENT set of standards, retribution could be sought and dished out by the victims or their families.
Yesterday’s ruling by judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, will most likely end up at the U.S. Supreme Court where, if recent decisions are any indication, it’s anybody’s guess but, should her injunction STAND…OUR court system, nationwide, could be left in SHAMBLES.
IN WHAT WORLD ARE WE LIV
ING???
Allow me to tell you.
We are now living in a nation where GOD is systematically being REMOVED from the lexicon and replaced…REPLACED by the teachings of ISLAM…an IDEOLOGY. In just the last week, we have seen it pop up in schools in Tennessee where the 5 Pillars of Islam, drawn by children in crayon, adorned the walls of a high school and again, with the display seen here, on the walls of a school in Kansas.
Now, we have the ISLAMIST Sharia law being ORDERED to be a part of the Oklahoma court system.
We have a Department of “Justice” that backs the “president” and a “president” who stands with ISLAMISTS at every opportunity.
Let’s be clear.
When Obama stands at the U.N. podium and says, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” he is 
sending a message to Islamists that he stands with THEM and to judges who are prone to legislate from the bench that THEY are clear to stand with ISLAM as well.
Okay…
One more example because, turn-around is always fair play.
What do you suppose would happen, in an Oklahoma court room, if John Q. Public were to catch a MUSLIM in the act of a 5 finger discount and, as Sharia law dictates, lopped of the hand of the shoplifter?
I’m willing to bet he’d have the book thrown at him and…
I’m not talking about the Koran.
It’s nice to see people commenting who know the law, it’s a pity this judge does not. Any ‘opinion’, even by the supreme court, in contradiction to the constitution is invalid. This unlawful opinion is useless and sets no precedent or law, particularly since she has no authority to make such a ruling.
NO judge – espeically a “Federal judge” can over-turn state law or the will of the people. THAT is a Treasonous Oligarchy and Federal judges & courts have no right to even be IN any state ! Nothing “Federal” has any authority or jurisdiction outside of the DC borders ! REMOVE THAT UNLAWFUL JUDGE ! AND OUTLAW ALL FEDERAL COURTS IN THE STATES.
States NEED to take charge of their own states now – this is WAR !
WE were never to be under DC Federal rule ! DC is not suppose to be a “rule”.
Time to get back to America’s roots !
As long as the” immaculated one” rules in Washington,with his sycophantic cadre of appointees.these liberal seeds will be sown. He has bypassed and contradicted the Constitution so many times with scant outcry or pushback that it has become the new norm.There is a worrisome convergence of allies including the DOJ,the presidency ,the IRS,and the supreme court, who are reshaping this country in ways we will hate and not recognize.I keep hoping his unlimited hubris will have him finally cross the line so blatantly and aggregiously that even the left will support IMPEACHMENT.But alas,then we are left with “Bite Me” Joe,everyones favorite drunken uncle in his place.Remember:Rome fell from within!
Is there a petition I can sign to have her removed, arrested, etc ? This is ridiculous, and obviously she doesn’t know our Constitution. She’s a traitor to her own country.
You know the state of Oklahoma can tell her to go to hell and that she has NO jurisdiction in state law. Maybe more state legislatures should do the same.
Elections have consequences. Elect people to the bench who have no business being a lawyer much less a jurist and no understanding of the Judicial System and you get this type of ruling. Sad.
I have been going nearly insane trying to understand the absolute craziness going on in our Shining City on a Hill. Revelations tells us that in the end times nothing will make sense. What used to be Evil will now become Good, and vice versa. I believe we are in the end times right now.
This country is going to Hell in a handbasket and judges such as this one are holding on to both handles.
These left wing radical liberal judges should be removed from the bench for violating the U.S. Constitution – Article VI Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution is quite clear – the United States Constitution shall be the Supreme Law of the land…! Sharia law is NOT compatible with the Constitution. This judge has enabled the Muslim Brotherhoods mission in the United States, whose goal is to Destroy America from Within and watch it’s miserable house crumble. Thank you Judge Miles-LaGrange for enabling the enemy!
I hope she doesn’t become a victim of her mistake, of course I also hoped obama would be defeated both times, that obama care would not pass and that joe Biden would’nt say anything stupid, oh oh she’s in trouble now.
this Biotch should be disbarred!!
