Oklahoma Proposition To Ban Sharia Law May Have Inadvertantly Banned 10 Commandments As Well
Need a bit more proof that Right Wing Tea Baggers have no idea what they are doing?
"Residents in Oklahoma thought they were voting to ban Sharia law last Tuesday but it turns out that the new constitutional amendment may also extend to the Ten Commandments.
The Oklahoma ballot measure orders judges not to consider Islamic or international law when deciding cases.
But Rick Tepker, a law professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Law believes the "Save Our State" constitutional amendment may have the unwanted side effect of preventing judges from referencing the Ten Commandments. Tepker called the measure "a mess."

So the proposition had the effect of barring the judiciary from considering either Sharia Law or the Ten Commandments in the formulation of its rulings/sentences... hmm?
I would call that a "Win-Win"!
