Oklahoma voters may have accidentally outlawed the 10 Commandments - National populist | Examiner.com

But the amendment, which also banned the use of international law in judicial decision-making, might force Oklahoma judges to ignore all laws that were conceived on foreign soil, including the 10 Commandments.

"I would like to see Oklahoma politicians explain if this means that the courts can no longer consider the Ten Commandments. Isn't that a precept of another culture and another nation?" said a University of Oklahoma law professor. "The result of this is that judges aren't going to know when and how they can look at sources of American law that were international law in origin. Many of us who understand the law are scratching our heads this morning, laughing so we don't cry."

The measure was overwhelmingly approved, despite months of resistance from legal experts who argued that it blatantly violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and, oh yeah, sharia law has never once been applied by an Oklahoma judge.

Sorry bout that,


1. I don't think the *Ten Commandments* are *AMERICAN LAW*, you know seperation Church and State.
2. But we as Christian Nation, do abide by most of them, Thou shall not kill, being the first that comes to mind.
3. So is it okay to murder now in Oklahoma?

That's some in depth commentary you offered on this subject Bert. I can't say I disagree with a word you said.
