Mo. House speaker backs move to ban Sharia law
JEFFERSON CITY -- House Speaker Steve Tilley threw his support this week behind a bill that, in his words, "maintains that U.S. law shall take precedence in U.S. courts."...

The bill's sponsor is freshman Rep. Paul Curtman, R-Pacific. He said in an interview that Missourians "just need to have absolute confidence that a judge is going to render decisions based on our laws."

Asked whether any Missouri judge had based a decision on foreign law, Curtman said: "To my knowledge in Missouri, no. But it's happening in other states. A good leadership trait is to act in a manner that is preventative."

The Muslims are coming! Stop them before they steal our white women!

1. I welcome his newfound concern about separation of church and state
Those of us who have opposed the mixing of religion and government for many years, welcome the Speaker's tardy realization that this is important.

With all the real problems we face, they just waste time on ridiculous legislation. :crazy:

6. They should take this challenge on more directly
and make same gender marriages legal. That would show 'em we mean business!
