Now for Michigan...
I'd think the Wolverine State has more basic needs at the moment. Like clean drinking water.
Now for Michigan...
WOAI State Sen. Donna Campbell (R-New Braunfels) doesn’t mention Islamic Koranic law, or ‘Sharia Law’ in her bill. She simply says it guarantees that no laws fro ‘foreign courts’ will be adopted by Texas civil court judges.
So it's a bill, not a law? And I guess by the same token, it will ban the use or citation of Biblical laws in civil courts as well.
IOW, Texas is poised to ban the Bible. :rotfl:
Texas Passes Law Permanently Banning Muslim Sharia Laws
Right on. 49 to go.
So, agree or disagree: marriage is a secular, civil institution, that religion has no place in.
Good. Now let's hope some judge does not reverse it as they did when many states voted, by the people, mind you, to outlaw homo marriage. then the Supremacists overruled the will of the people by legal meandering.
What ever happened to a government by the people, for the people?

I most surely didn't hear about that.
Yes, well, it's pretty hideous. And unforgivable. And I'll be stunned if anyone is fired for this, let alone resigns.
USA. USA. USA.
But by all means, while things fall apart, let's encourage the states to do something like banning sharia law. Best to keep our eye on priorities. Right?
Are you talking about segregation or interracial marriage?Good. Now let's hope some judge does not reverse it as they did when many states voted, by the people, mind you, to outlaw homo marriage. then the Supremacists overruled the will of the people by legal meandering.

Looks like a meaningless nullity to me. Courts don't usually pass laws, even in other countries, and even if they did, there aren't really any cases where they could become binding on Texas unless via the route of federal treaties, in which case Texas wouldn't have any power to exempt itself. Also, the United States is a common law country, which means that the most obvious place this could have a meaningful impact is in the English legal traditions that the nation, and the state of Texas, take for granted. So, it would probably be more accurate to say that Texas just banned the Magna Carta than Sharia. This is more about messaging to the base, and perhaps anti-Muslim paranoia than real law, and is a great example of what happens when idiots write laws.
Also, given that this was apparently sparked by an Islamic religious tribunal set up to adjudicate divorces voluntarily between Muslims, I'm somewhat amused by the newfound zeal Christian right-wingers have found for defending the secular, civil nature of marriage. It seems to me that when the question was equality of marriage for LGBT people, that wasn't much of a concern for them.

According to dingbats like Musty I won't have much choice but to be living in a sharia state in my own town before too long but I do expect a bit more common sense from you RM, not only in that silly regard but in your equal stupidity in regards to the above...
