Oklahoma Sharia Ban in Court

A federal court judge is slated to hear arguments today on an injunction blocking Oklahoma's new constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of foreign systems of law in reaching legal decisions. On November 2, Oklahoma voters passed a ballot initiative banning the use of Sharia and international law in Oklahoma courts by a whopping 70%. The new law explicitly reaffirms the supremacy of the federal and the Oklahoma state constitutions. Just days after the vote, Muneer Awad, a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), filed suit to block the law's implementation, claiming that it violated his constitutional rights.

CAIR, members of whom are muslim and desire to follow Sharia Law, which is antithetical to Constituttional law, files suit to block the implementation of a law which would uphold the supremacy of US Constitutional Law, on the grounds that it violates CAIR's 1st Amendment rights.

The mind reels.
