Today I write an important column (not that the writing or writer is important; the subject is important) on a good trend going on in the states: American laws for American courts. Please read it here.
Here’s the first paragraph:
The Legislature in Alabama, the home state of perhaps the single most prominent American-born jihadi, is poised to become the latest in a line of states outlawing the application of foreign laws in American courts if those laws violate American constitutional rights. The laws are desperately needed: Confused American trial court judges are surprisingly susceptible to citations of foreign standards to excuse otherwise appalling, even criminal, behavior.
Enjoy. Thanks.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

I have on occasion suggested that those who convert to Islam in prison be given Islamic punishments. After enough stonings and amputations, I think Buddhism might be more attractive as an alternative religion.

A Judge in Tampa applied Sharia Law to a case involving two Muslims. It happened last year. I hope the voters toss this idiot out of office.

In American criminal jurisprudence, the "people" are the victim of a crime or the party that moves the charge (e.g. U.S. v. Knights, South Carolina v. Sandford, People v. Taylor).
In Sharia, offenses are against Allah. It is ironic how the ACLU suddenly ceases its objection to the introduction of a deity into government.
