BACHMANN OPPOSES SHARIA LAW – Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said Wednesday she was troubled that American judges would cite Sharia law in U.S. courtrooms and that the practice would “usurp” the U.S. Constitution. “It’s very troubling to see some United States justices bring in sharia law,” Bachmann said in a radio interview with WHO Radio in Iowa. “Sharia law certainly does not have a place in a United States courtroom, nor should it be followed by United States judges.” Read more
