Frank Wolf: Constitution only for US law
We are blessed to have a trustworthy representative here in northern Virginia:
From: Rep. Frank WolfDate: June 23, 2011
Re: Upholding U.S. Constitutional Law
I write to let you know that I am cosponsoring H.R. 973, a measure introduced by my colleague Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL), that would make clear that the U.S. Constitution is the only form of law that may be applied as law in the United States.
I have grown increasingly concerned over the past few years that other forms of law outside federal and state laws are being applied in court cases in the United States. My concerns were recently confirmed by a Center for Security Policy study which reported that 50 appellate court cases from 23 different states involve conflicts between Shariah (Islamic Law) and U.S. state law. The analysis also found that Shariah has been applied or formally recognized in state court decisions, in conflict with the Constitution and state public policy.
I believe very strongly that U.S. constitutional law is the only form of law applicable or recognized in U.S. courts and that activist judges must be stopped from citing other law.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to let me know about matters of interest and concern to you.
But who would have ever thought we would need a law to safeguard something that used to be self-evident?
