Two Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation seeking to ban the enforcement of Sharia law in the United States, arguing the measure is necessary to preserve constitutional principles and American culture.
The proposal, called the "No Shari'a Act," was announced this week by Florida Representative Randy Fine and Texas Representative Keith Self. Newsweek contacted Fine via an online form, and Fine and Self by telephone outside of usual working hours on Sunday.
Why It Matters
The bill reignites long-standing debates over the role of foreign or religious legal systems in U.S. courts, particularly regarding Islamic law. Supporters say it would protect the Constitution from being undermined, while critics warn it could fuel Islamophobia and face constitutional challenges of its own.
What To Know
The legislation would bar courts from enforcing any judgment, decree, or arbitration decision based on Sharia law or any foreign system that violates constitutional rights. Its sponsors argue that America must remain unified under one legal framework—the Constitution—and reject attempts to introduce alternative systems.

These idiots aren't even following or upholding the CURRENT "legal framework - the Constitution'. I.e., they have completely abdicated their authority as a co-equal Branch of government.
