You don't know about those cities in Michigan where Sharia has been allowed to do so much? Oh yes you do you just don't want to admit that it is the Upper US where this is coming to fruition and this is too near your home.
I guess being an atheist it is easy to worry about the Bible belt. Huh?
What cities in Michigan and links to what Sharia law has been allowed to do?
How is it that Muslims deal with homosexuals in Iran? Oh yeah, they stone them to death. I think that our American homosexuals may well want to look closely at Shariah and how it could be a detriment for their lives.
What you are saying, I think, is By God if they could do it the present one can also do it. In other words your boys set the precedent and we will continue to violate the document since get evens are to be used in law.
Your boys?
There's no "your boys" or "my boys" by my way of thinking, Roy. I am a conservative....and that means that we agree on more than we disagree. But I am anything but a Republican. And anything but a lock-step team player with the left-right partisan silliness that is the daily dialog here. I read from my own script and not the "team's". Neither Rs or Ds espouse values that our founders would recognize.
People who call themselves conservatives here probably scratch their heads when they see my enthusiastic support for the OWS protests. I, on the other hand, scratch my head wondering where on earth those same folks got the idea that there is anything conservative about their ongoing blind support of Wall Street and mega multi-national corporations.
Now, regarding Republicans and the Constitution. If Reagan had understood and respected it, his Attorney General Edwin Meece wouldn't have been on the stump in '87 and '88 pushing for mass drug testing of the American people.
If GWB had understood and respected it, there would have been no Patriot Act and his long list of quotables wouldn't have included "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
Just two examples of many, many more that are of public record.
You know, reading a thread like this makes me wish we had some independent institution tasked with interpreting the Constitution and giving some kind of final rulings on its issues.

I never said that. I am asking a question - HOW was European law mentioned in the opinion?
Was it just trotted out as a factual example?
A comment in dicta?
The answer to this question makes all the difference. I'm willing to bet it wasn't used in any way that violates anything. If the holding didn't rely on it, or do so improperly, then there is no problem.
Again, let's look at the actual court opinion, eh? Don't you think that would be helpful?
I say you don't understand where it fits into the court's opinion.
I think I saw 4 judges saying that the majority of states couldn't continue what they had been doing all along because the other 20 didn't go along with them. I don't know who wrote the minority decision but surely all agreed about that part since none said, "Not me".
The Brits I know tell a very different account than one finds in right wing rants in the US.
At any rate, who cares. It's their country.
It's not going to happen here, for reasons I've filled several threads with already.
Have you studied anything the Muslim Brotherhood has said? It appears you don't want to do that because it may be uncomfortable.
Hey, I have to leave here soon because it is time for getting tuned into GBTV since I am paying to do so. You ought to pay the $4.95 per month so you could tune in now and then. Oh hell, I forgot, he is too wildly conservative to be looked at as credible. Have you seen him since he went to the internet aftr leaving TV? He isn't controlled by any owner now since he is the owner.
