    A pro-national defense activist says the recent decision by Pennsylvania judge Mark Martin to throw out an assault charge against a Muslim man based on sharia law is the perfect illustration of why states must enact statutes banning foreign law from American jurisprudence....

    Judge Mark Martin said he dismissed the case for lack of evidence.

    Nothing to see here, move along...

    States most certainly DO NOT have to choose!

    They already operate under a Constitution, both state and national, that insures their actions.

    There is a link in one of the comments at the bottom of this article, to an additional article on the Above the Law website; which itself has a link or two to additional articles.

    It would be of benefit for folks to read those articles, do a little more research, find out the rest of the story. For example, lawyers are agreeing that the ruling was based on US constitutional law; but everyone's agreeing that the judge's wording and berating of the victim was troublesome.

    That's what happens when we elect politicians who appoint reactive judges -- and/or -- when we vote into office, depending on the particular judge or court in question -- liberal judges who are not strict constitutionalists.

    Knee-jerk reaction noted.

    Was it a court of record? If so, the prosecution should have appealed.

    The states should vote on Sharia, Constitution, or Articles of Confederation.
