Megafacepalm when Oklahoma lawyers start arguing about the differences between the version of the 10 commandments in Exodus, and the version in Deuteronomy. We'll get there sooner or later, I'm sure.

Does this mean the state of Oklahoma is temporarily godless? Say it ain't so!

You don't fight stupidity with stupidity, and this claim is just plain stupid. The law prohibits judges from using international law to strike down Oklahoma law. It doesn't ban incorporating law from other sources through the normal legislative process. The difference, if any of you actually care, is that elected legislators can make that choice but judges can't impose it.

re: #6 SteveDutch

No, I'm sorry, but your claim is, likewise, incorrect.

The [Oklahoma courts], when exercising their judicial authority, shall uphold and adhere to the law as provided in the United States Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, the United States Code, federal regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, established common law, the Oklahoma Statutes and rules promulgated pursuant thereto, and if necessary the law of another state of the United States provided the law of the other state does not include Sharia Law, in making judicial decisions. The courts shall not look to the legal precepts of other nations or cultures. Specifically, the courts shall not consider international law or Sharia Law. . . .

The ten commandments are definitely part of a different culture than the secular united states.
