It is what keeps them from turning us into what they wish, on a whim.
Tell our current president and his unconstitutional czars this and watch them laugh.

I hope you're not implying that recent Republican Presidents have had any more respect for the Constitution.

Harold Koh's opinions on sharia

A New York lawyer, Steven Stein, says that, in addressing the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, Koh claimed that “in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.”
Stein is correct. The problem is the ignorant Chicken Littles that don't understand how it is applied in certain cases - namely contracts and divorces with international custody battles.

It's nothing to worry about.

Yeah and the grassroots folks will be shouted down as islamaphobes and the like by the multicultural brainwashed just as happened in countries in Europe. Now they are reaping the benefits of multiculturalism. LOL.

I'm an Islamophobe. I detest Islam.

I also detest right wing scaremongering that mispresents the law and the nature of how foreign law is used in our courts.

more unfounded hoopla over a propaganda.

they've been claiming Sharia law will be in the US since Reagan's tenure.

30 years later and we are still governed by the US Constitution.

Seems that you lot forget that nothing can over rule the Constitution.

What state will be the first to amend their penal laws and criminal procdure laws to allow sharia?
I'll bet that state you mention won't be Oklahoma.

Every conceivable threat to our fast-eroding personal liberty is something to worry about, my friend. No worry = no future freedom....it is merely a question of how long 'til it's all gone.

If we've learned anything from human history, it is that.
