Judge dismisses female genital mutilation charges in historic case

It's mind blowing how many bimbo's think this doesn't exist and isn't real . Yet here is a real case on it.

Says Congress lacks the authority to enact such a law.

I can think of hundreds of similar laws that can be overturned now.

In a major blow to the government, a federal judge in Detroit has declared the nation’s female genital mutilation law unconstitutional, thereby dismissing nearly all of the charges against two Michigan doctors and seven others accused of subjecting at least nine minor girls to genital cutting in the nation’s first FGM case.

The historic case involves minor girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, including some who cried, screamed and bled during the procedure and one who was given Valium ground in liquid Tylenol to keep her calm, court records show.

U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman concluded that Congress did not have the authority to pass the 22-year-old federal law that criminalizes female genital mutilation in America. FGM is banned worldwide and has been outlawed in more than 50 countries, though the U.S. statute had never been tested before this case.

Friedman’s ruling stems from a request by Dr. Jumana Nagarwala and her co-defendants to dismiss the genital mutilation charges, claiming the law they are being prosecuted under is unconstitutional.

More specifically, the defendants have argued that “Congress lacked authority to enact” the genital mutilation statute, “thus the female genital mutilation charges must be dismissed.”

More specifically, the defendants have argued that “Congress lacked authority to enact” the genital mutilation statute, “thus the female genital mutilation charges must be dismissed.”

Actually, this is true. Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government assigned any authority to enact such a law, so, per the Tenth Amendment, such a law is indeed blatantly unconstitutional. This legitimately falls under the jurisdiction of the states.

But then, the same is equally true of the overwhelmingly-vast majority of federal laws and activities.

That said, I am all for every state passing laws against this savage practice, and imposing the most serious of penalties for those subhuman filth convicted of engaging in it. Life in prison, without possibility of parole, would not be too serious a punishment for such a crime.

U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman concluded that "as despicable as this practice may be," Congress did not have the authority to pass the 22-year-old federal law that criminalizes female genital mutilation, and that FGM is for the states to regulate.

"Congress overstepped its bounds by legislating to prohibit FGM ... FGM is a 'local criminal activity'...''

I believe I know where he is going with this. He thinks circumcision would be next.

 

[Sunni Man]

I fail to see the problem? ....

We legally allow circumcision on male babies.

So why outlaw female circumcision? ...

 

[Sunni Man]

Good for the judge. ....

We allow male babies to be circumcised.

So there shouldn't be laws against female circumcision. ...

So, these young Muslim girls have to endure the pain of having their genitals mutilated and the judge says the U.S. cannot outlaw this barbaric practice. Sometimes, they even give the girl's pain meds but the poor girls have to be awake for this. Usually they scream as they are held down. So much for the left believing in choice. These young girls go through intense pain and are permanently scarred, both physically and emotionally. They will never have a choice in life because they were unfortunate enough to be born into a Muslim family. Might as well teach them young that all decisions will be made for them by men. And the left will continue to stand up for Muslims and their fucked up culture.

Now we have this shit going on here. Good job, libs.

Progressives are fucked in the head

 

[Clementine]

No leftists want to chime in. Real liberals would hate what is going on but they've apparently been replaced by the radical leftists.

No feminists marching in protest? They aren't demanding that these little girls have a choice in what happens to their bodies?

You know that NONE of these girls are doing this willingly. Pro Choice, anyone?

It's torture. Muslims don't believe women should enjoy sex and this also prevents them from wanting to sleep with men. Of course, if they are raped, the women still get punished because rape makes them impure. Women are just things to Muslim men. Mutilate them. Beat them. Stone them to death if they bring shame on the family. Muslims are here and they bought their fucked up culture with them.

And the left approves. You guys just can't bring yourselves to criticize your precious Muslims, can you? What the hell is up with that? You guys bash Christians and demand that they go against their religion all the time yet Muslims do whatever they hell they please and you cite freedom of religion.

So, Muslims don't have to bake cakes for gays. There is video of many stores refusing to do that. It's okay. Muslims don't approve of gays and say it's a sin. In Muslim countries, gays are murdered in cold blood for their "crimes." You think that's okay and not worth speaking out against.

Muslims don't allow women to vote. It's okay with you guys if they are oppressed. Muslim television shows actually discuss the best ways to beat their wives. The suggestion is that guys beat the women enough to hurt them and get their message across but not enough to where they'll have to pay a medical bill for the injuries. Isn't that special.

Damn you leftists are screwed up in the head. You openly defend Muslims even though Islam is more government than religion. You never criticize them for the horrible way they treat women or the hatred they show towards infidels. You guys blame the infidels for pissing them off. Do you also blame the women for the brutal treatment they endure at the hands of Muslim men?
