2011 Florida Legislative Session

Drama Llama Edition.

According to a news article, a bill put together by two Republican legislators (who knew?) wants to put the skids on such foreign (or should I follow their lead and say "furrin?") shenanigans as the courts citing the Muslim sharia law code or any other legal code set by another country.

Now, neither of them can cite any case in Florida or elsewhere that decided in favor of a Muslim legal precedent, but that's beside the point! We must protect our own dwindling rights! Why, them there sneaky sharia codes reduce women to second-class status!

Unlike our own country, where there's a hell-bent push to drive women back to the status of baby-making chattel.

These two rubes are true idiots. Our own legal code is based off British common law, as well as legal precedents from France and other countries - hell, there might even be a religious law code embedded in there somewhere (ever heard of the Ten Commandments?), so they're basically biting themselves in the back.

I don't expect this to go anywhere fast - other states have tried this idiocy only to have the courts strike it down.

But you have to give Senator Alan Hays and Rep. Larry Metz credit for being true Drama Llamas.
