Though perhaps proponents of these “anti-sharia laws” don’t realize they might be shooting themselves in the foot as well from a legal standpoint. I’ve referred to the Ten Commandments et. al. as “sharia” for quite a while myself, as well.
He makes a good case for it. He also reminds that AZ has only been a state for 99 years (as of Valentine’s Day) and that a good case can be made for the land belonging to Mexico, for one thing, and not to mention that the Hopi and Navaho have called that land home for longer than then Latina/Latino people who themselves have been there way longer than the Anglos.

Well, aside from being unenforceable, all of that shit would be tossed out by any half-sane Supreme Court as a direct violation of the First Amendment’s establishment clause. They cannot legally make laws that ban being Muslim. The fact that they think they can is just over the top. But, it’s either this or solve real problems, and this is a lot easier.
Yet another unenforceable law. Sigh. I just love the legislature here. Aside from the governor, the legislature upholds the state’s batshit crazy label far better than anyone else. They don’t need to hamstring the unions here, it’s already a ‘right-to-work’ state.
I’m still not sure who those turkeys represent either, certainly no one I know. They seem to believe (as most R’s do) that they are the voice of the people, yet I’m still looking for the people who actually voted them into office – no one wants to confess to that they voted for them.
A bunch of tired old white men and a few women trying to preserve the 1950’s. Barry Goldwater needs to come back: he’d call them crazy!
