People know. Despite the vicious propaganda campaign to destroy those of exposing the truth and defending freedom and equality of rights for all before the law.
Fight on, freedom lovers :) The law stops judges from considering foreign law when it violates a citizen’s constitutional rights (like this).
"Critics derided the bill as sending a message of intolerance and bigotry." You can't help but chuckle, eh? Sharia is the very definition of intolerance, oppression, subjugation, racism, bigotry and supremacism. Rock on, North Carolina.
The bill now goes before the Governor for signature.
"Sharia law measure getting sent to the governor" By Annalise Frank, The News and Observer, July 24, 2013
The House approved a bill that keeps judges from considering sharia law in state court decisions.
Instances of American judges using sharia law in rulings make the measure necessary, said Sen. E.S. “Buck” Newton, a Wilson Republican and the legislation’s Senate sponsor. It would protect people’s constitutional rights from being taken away by foreign laws.
“It follows legislation that has been proven in five other states that has not been challenged to date,” said Rep. Chris Whitmire of Brevard, a Republican and the bill’s House sponsor. “This protects women and minorities, it ultimately protects our U.S. and state constitutional rights.”
House Bill 522 will be sent to the governor, after a 75-37 vote. It doesn't specifically mention sharia law, a legal system based on Islamic teachings. It could affect agreements based on other foreign laws, as well, if those agreements are judged as conflicting with the constitutional rights of an involved party.
But critics argue that the bill reaffirms the already well-known fact that the federal and state Constitution should be held above other nations’ rules of law. It is also seen as sending an intolerant message to Muslim-Americans and Muslims abroad.
“It is not in our power to limit what law a court considers,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat. “I believe this to be a classic separation of powers problem."
Previously, the Senate approved the provision when it was glued to a measure restricting abortion providers. But it didn’t get much debate as lawmakers focused on provisions protesters called demeaning to the state’s women. Now the bill has been separated from the abortion restrictions and is in its own separate bill.
It will become even more necessary in the future. Look at what a stupid democrat had to say about it. “It is not in our power to limit what law a court considers,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat. “I believe this to be a classic separation of powers problem."
I believe it to be a 'roll over and play dead" statement. Democrats are totally lacking in common sense.
