The overhauled bill was passed by a vote of 74-25 in Capitol Hill, after Democrats and Republicans teamed up to ensure its passage. It will now be returned to the House of Representatives, which voted 228-205 Monday against a similar piece of proposed legislation. The House is expected to vote on the new bill Friday. cbc http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2095420/posts#comment Thu, 2 Oct 2008 01:40:45 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2093984/posts http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ae1ac9f9cd9e37203565 Please pass this on to all your FRiends.

The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims.

We'd keep the White House, build conservative majorities in congress, replace liberal activist judges with original intent constitutionalists, and eventually overturn Roe v Wade and begin rolling back some of the damage inflicted upon our beloved republic by the socialists and liberals.
