I expect my politicians to understand the basic tenets of our legal system and how it works. It's their job and I expect them to take it seriously. Part of that understanding is already knowing that something is impossible and always will be impossible, like ruling a court case based on Sharia or foreign law.
The passage of this bill shows a complete lack of intelligence and/or sincerity on the part of the elected officials that passed it. And if I think a politician is stupid, I think people who support him/her are stupid by association. It's pretty simple. I can disagree with a politician but above all else, I ask that they not be an idiot. It's not a lofty request.
If everyone shared that one simple belief while voting every November, this country would be a hell of a lot better place to live.
