I think so too, 0bama's appointee for the State Departments legal adviser, Harold Koh, is someone who approves of sharia and endorses it's use in the US!

cooler, this isn't the only instance of this mans pretty radical ideology. there are a number of things that raise the hairs on the back of my neck. He is litteraly in favor of tayloring united states law to come more in to line with laws in other countries, even if they contradict the united states constitution. this is part of a long history with this man and are not merely something taken out of context.

the suggestion of SHiria law is probably the most remote of things that could happen with this man, si I'm not worried about it either. But there are a num,ber of other issues, such as second amendment issues, parental rights, first ammendment issues, and 10th amendment issues. It boils down to the fact that this man would agrgue for laws that directly contradict the constitutiona and that trump the bill of rights, and as I have said in other places on the issue, this is the most litteral definition of treason.

I do believe that in the United States, when an official takes office, their oath states that they will uphold and defend the Constitution. Not International law. What is good in Iran, is not good here, we are totally different countries with differen views, religions, and needs.

The United States Constitution is the legal guide for us here in the United States. We do not need some person in some other country making international laws for us to follow. I believe taht the Holocausr happened, but I would not want some foreign people making laws to put our people over here in the United States in jail for denying the Holocaust. I firmly believe in freedom of speech. What if some people in other counties wanted to make it illegal for us to have freedom of religion? Would you blindly follow such a law? I do not want any kind of international law over us here in the United States.

They should obey the US Constitution. If they try to sneak in International Law, then they run into problems, such as in Sharia law or laws in which murder is considered not murder because of the ethnic makeup of the killer or stealing is not considered stealing because of the horrible background of the offender. It would not be right to give certain privileges or make the sentences harder for some because when someone immigrates to the States, usually it is because there is something they did not like in their former land or they cannot get justice there.

They should look at the supreme law of the land, the constitution. Supreme, to me, pretty much says all that should be needed and the only thing that should be used.

Absolutely the US Constitution and the Constitutions of the States that comprise the US. To hand authority over to outside agencies such as the UN, is to give away our sovereignty.
