I think he's the man who can get it done.
What is your take on Koh being appointed as Legal Adviser to Department of State?
How can we support Shariah law being applied to govern cases in the United States?

Harold Koh, the former dean of the Yale Law School has been picked by President Barack Hussein Obama to be the legal adviser to the Department of State. Koh will represent America at the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.

Koh is a transnationalist lawyer who believes that American law should be interpreted according to international “norms” instead of our U.S. Constitution.

In 2007, at a speech before the Yale Club in Greenwich, he claimed that he didn’t see why Shariah law couldn’t be applied to govern cases in the United States.

Koh also wants American law to be subjugated to international law and to the International Criminal Court. He suggests pushing a “transnational legal process” in the U.S. that will “generate legal interpretations that can in turn be internalized into the domestic law of even resistant nation-states.”

Now Andy,
Be nice. We know Obama is going to achieve his agenda. We need ideas on how to get it done with the least amount of damage to the US populace.

honestly i don't make much of it. he's an advisor so what?
i didn't find a lot of transnational legal advocacy on a brief
search about him. sounds like he is just going to advise the
administration about other nations legal posturings...

so...it doesn't look like he will be in a position to do much
mischief.

so...yawn

I don't have a problem.
What I want to do is submit ideas on how we can get Shariah Law and Council established in America.
Help me with ideas. I will take the action and send the Faxes.

I am just reporting on what I find.
I'm trying to advocate Liberalism. If we're gonna' be liberal, let's go all the way.
What I first posted is his stance. He has the knowledge, being a Lawyer, to be able to get it done.
Hand picked by Obama.

Me, personally, I don't have an opinion on same sex marriages.
This is his stance. It would seem you would support him. I dunno.
Koh believes that gay and lesbian rights include a right to same-sex marriage.

I think if this guy actually said that Sharia Law is acceptable in any form, then it is an issue. I can't see how anyone outside of the fundamentalist muslim world, could possibly feel that this style of oppressive law is beneficial to anyone.

Thank you. Sharia law and the religion is two totally different things.

Now, the definition of appropriate case, I haven't a clue.

Koh claimed that "in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.

Koh has called America's focus on the War on Terror "obsessive." In 2004, he listed countries that flagrantly disregard international law -- "most prominently, North Korea, Iraq, and our own country, the United States of America," which he branded "the axis of disobedience.

Well...you may have me there willing. Axis of disobedience. Have you seen how flagrantly people ignore laws and rights? There is no longer earning respect..it seems now it is a right of passage...................from birth.lol
