If these U.S. judges can't ajudeacate U.S. Law without referring to some foreign law, they need to be thrown off the bench. It's U.S. Law not, shariah, or some u r pee in law, if they can't get that straight get rid of them.:damn: If you want to be in our country, you follow our laws, don't bring your own.

The Federal Arbitration Act of 1925 9 U.S. C. establishes the right of citizens to voluntarily, in specific civil cases, to mutually agree to arbitration based on their cultural laws.

Two of the more common are Islamic Sharia and Jewish Halakha Arbitration Courts which have been operating just fine since 1925.

The proposed OK law will be a hard case to put before the United States Supreme Court. There have been several Supreme Court cases that have upheld the FAA.

The key concepts of the FAA are:

1. That such arbitration is voluntary
2. All parties must specifically agree to FAA type arbitration when entering into the contract.
3. Only specific civil cases can be arbitrated. No Criminal Law cases
4. The Federal Government and the States have criteria and authority to negate any arbitration if it is found that the arbitration is in violation of Federal and/or State regulations.

That is U.S. law whether you like it or not and does not pertain to criminal law. Don't be so xenophobic.

I take it that is a reasonable reply to yubbas nonsensical rant.
Though it does raise the question of what the US law really is as its set by US politicians and adjudicated by US judges which everyone knows are really our reptilian overlords from the planet Blurg on the dark side of the blue cheese moon.
So Yubbas rant should be "this is the US if you don't want to follow our extraterrestrials laws make them move to another planet and take their evil alien laws with them"

I don't mind getting stoned, just as long as I'm not buried up too my knees.:woot:Gee thanks 4 the support, you took the words right out of my mouth, heard they taste like chicken.

Thats OK, we must stand united against the clandestine aliens dressed as penguins who are stealing our tax money to build secret telescopes while pretending that a gherkin shaped planet disguised as a comet isn't really going to land in New Aztechia and steal our tin-foil
