Creeping Sharia Bullshit

Governor Christie described you guys best:

Christie stated, “Ignorance is behind the criticism of Sohail Mohammed. He is an extraordinary American who is an outstanding lawyer and played an integral role in the post-September 11th period in building bridges between the Muslim American community in this state and law enforcement.” He then added that he was “disgusted, candidly, by some of the questions he was asked… at the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

A reporter then asked another question about the threat of Sharia Law. The Governor responded, “Sharia Law has nothing to do with this at all, it’s crazy! The guy is an American citizen! This Sharia Law business is just crap… and I’m tired of dealing with the crazies.

Yeah, that's one part of her post that I don't understand. As the story goes, he did rise from the dead, so offending Christians by saying Jesus is a zombie is sort of like trying to offend them by saying Methuselah was that guy who got really, really old.

The other part of her post I don't understand is the rest.

Did you watch the video?
 
He tried propositioning one in a bar and wound up on the wrong end of the old Marine Corps follow through, he's been hatin' on us ever since. :D

Yep, Marine AJ is a self-proclaimed "recovering" homosexual, Marine Vetteman and Marine Miles both cybered a dude, so that makes RobDownSouth gay.

Gotta admit, your logical fallacies lately have matched those of AJ himself.

Uhhh....dude....T-Bob is generally considered to be...ummm....not very well thought of around here. In other words he's a repugnant slimeball.

Friend away.
 
So Vettebigot turns out to be full of shit. Again. The RWCJ immediately rally round for a mutual blowjob to deflect the issue.
 
I pretty much go with Eugene Volokh who writes for my frequently go-to legal blog. His take is here:

The audio recording of the judge's comments is here:

His so-called scolding is not as scathing as has been portrayed. One can make a reasonable argument that his description of how the religion of Islam is integrated with Islamic society is along the lines of merely informing the plaintiff as to why the defendant found his portrayal so offensive. It is also clear that the judge was not applying Sharia law to the case at hand.

Two problems present themselves, however. The first is that the judge did himself no favor by revealing his own Muslim faith. It is not relevant to the law he was empaneled to arbitrate. All he did was make himself appear to be (as he very well may have been) a biased rather than an objective jurist. While not technically in a position of a conflict of interest, there was no specific legal obligation to recuse himself. But if the facts of the case made it unable for him to have rendered an objective judgment, then recusement was the way he should have gone. Only he knows for certain.

But his biggest mistake was to so grossly misinterpret the framer's intent behind the First Amendment as well as describing the plaintiff as being "way outside the bounds" of his First Amendment rights. Horse shit! Last year's Supreme Court decision in the case of the Westboro Baptist Church gave us a clear picture of the bounds of inflammatory speech, and those boundaries appear somewhere just over the horizon.

I side with the arresting officer in this case who testified that the elements of the local harassment law in question had been violated. The judge, however, ruled that the case was one of one person's word against another and that the burden of proof had not been satisfied.

I think he is full of crap, but he acted within Pennsylvania law. Barely.
