re: #21 gatoratlaw

The most depressing thing about all this nonsense, for me at least, is that these people display such a galling lack of faith in our country’s institutions. They really think that, ignoring all political realities, Sharia is even constitutionally possible. It doesn’t end there. See also federal trials of terrorists (the feds have a perfect record), Miranda warnings for accused terrorists, separation of powers, a limited executive, etc. They’re just like the big government liberals they despise, except they don’t want a welfare state. They want an all-powerful king.

Conservatives have seen promises gone back on before. Federal income tax will only touch the rich. Check. Civil rights laws will never set merit aside. Check. Social security will never be taxed. Check. Alternative minimum tax will only impact the rich. Check.

Sharia law will never be given a place in American law.

That hasn’t even been promised.
