this judge needs to be impeached for mental problems.... in other words, for being a traitor to the United States of America... NOT the nasty cults in the far east.

Judge Vicki? HAHAHHAHAA
Let’s review, could Vicki be a judge in...
say... Suadi Arabia? Iraq? Iran? Pakistan?
Wow! She should be disbarred for even a temporary stay.

“Sharia is no less toxic when it comes to the sorts of democratic government and civil liberties guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. According to this legal code of Saudi Arabia and Iran, only Allah can make laws, and only a theocrat can properly administer them, ultimately on a global basis.”

- former Assistant Secretary of Defense Frank Gaffney

A black woman appointed by Clinton.

Too stupid to realize that she would be the first victim of Sharia law.

I live in California, don't hold that against me, please. I am sick and tired of how we, the people, can vote and win and one person, a judge, can overrule all of us and tell us we are wrong and they are right. Why can't we impeach judges? We need to get rid of all the judges on the 9th Circus Court in California.
If Sharia law or socialism takes full effect, the media and the judges are one of the first to be killed and they are the ones leading to their deaths. Go figure.

Don’t judges swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution? He needs to be removed from office.

Pardon me...I didn’t realize it was a she, which is even more ironic since she couldn’t even drive a car under Sharia law. Thanks, Bill Clinton, for another worthless affirmative action judge.

So a single judge has more power than all the citizen voters of a state? Unbelievable!

What state court in Oklahoma would even try to impose
Shariah law?
Even though the judge is an idiot, it seems like a non issue
to me.

A “judge” bars Oklahoma from implementing a constitutional amendment, duly voted by the people of Oklahoma, in FAVOR of allowing Shariah Law to be used in Oklahoma courts???

God help us. Literally. Please.

SCREW HIM!

Tell this “judge” to go pound sand...

Better yet, drag his sorry butt from the bench and throw this treasonous rump swab down a flight of stairs!

I am getting so fed up with “federal” ... Screw the whole damned federal government... They can all go straight to hell.

Sharia law is religious law intended for a muslim people. Our Constitution purposely put a stopper on one religious group from imposing its religion on others.

This needs to go straight to the Supreme Court and be decided once an for all.

Well, if we are lucky.

Most likely, this amendment was little more than a political stunt to bring more people to the polls.

They aren't afraid because they know that they, today's holders of power, will remain in power. Only their offices will be renamed.

Here is an example. In the old USSR there were thousands of Party bosses. Then USSR fell. Do you think those Party bosses were lined up against the wall and shot? No way. They took over the reforms and became leaders of the change, changing their "beliefs" as a snake changes his skin. In the end they became filthy rich, having purchased (for token money or for free) most of the industry.

This example is not lost on the USA, and politicians here know exactly what to do and how to do it to remain in power. They may need to change their faith, their allegations, their friends and everything else - but that's hardly a problem for a politician... they do such things seven times before breakfast.
