On November 2nd, Oklahomans voted to require judges to reject any consideration for either Shariah law or international law. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is now filing a lawsuit against the state of Oklahoma. This is confusing because whenever CAIR is challenged about their wanting to implement Shariah law in the United States, they assure us they don't want to do that and that they love the U.S. Constitution.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Thursday, November 4, the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OK) will hold a news conference with religious and civil rights leaders in the State Capitol Building to announce the filing of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of an anti-Islam ballot measure (State Question 755) passed in yesterday's election. The measure amends the state constitution to forbid judges from considering Islamic law or international law when making a ruling.
Gotta give 'em credit. They seem to be as relentless as the President when it comes to wanting to transform the country.
The arrogance of the left is beyond ridiculous. Nancy Pelosi has already said she has 'no regrets,' this election was NOT a rejection of the Obama agenda and that Obama will be a two term president. Now, Al Sharpton is in the mix, saying on radio that voters have been 'seduced' into some type of 'hysteria' against the president. Contrast the reaction of the left in 2010 with the reaction of the right in 2006 and 2008.
Conservative voters in those years were angry with the people they put in office for abandoning their principles. When the Democrats lose, the people who actually voted are the problem.
Last week, ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Darrell Issa (R) said there was 'not a chance' of Obama being impeached. Issa seems to have taken that stance a bit further after huge Republican gains in the House that will make him the Chairman of that committee. Throughout the entire last year, Issa has talked tough on the Black Panther case, the Joe Sestak bribe and other scandals tied to this administration. He's even beefed up his staff, ostensibly to carry out these investigations.
Uh, apparently not. POLITICO is quoting Issa as saying that his job is to help Obama succeed. I'm not making this up:
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who will have far-ranging subpoena power in the new Congress as a result of Tuesday’s election, is going out of his way to dispel perceptions that he’s a partisan bombthrower who plans to use his newfound authority to paralyze President Barack Obama’s administration.
“I want to prove the pundits wrong. My job is not to bring down the president. My job is to make the president a success,” Issa said on a midnight conference call with reporters, just after House Minority Leader John Boehner’s victory speech.
Issa took a restrained view of his likely new post as chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, saying that on many issues his panel would play second fiddle to other Congressional committees. “Our jurisdiction is narrow,” Issa said. “I’m going to stick to my knitting, which is waste, fraud and abuse, whenever possible.”
As ranking member, Issa has talked tough for many many months. On the night it became apparent he would be chairman, granting him subpoena power, he suddenly backs off?!
Pathetic. Besides, I thought making sure that Obama succeeds is Chris Matthews' job:
