Stewart Claims Alabama Looking to Foreign Law to Reject Gay Marriage — The Bible

‘The Sharia law amendment would prohibit judges and other state officials from basing any of their decisions on foreign law’

STEWART: "Come on, Alabama. Let's at least be honest about the real reason that you are doing this."
ALLEN [video]: "My county probate office is not going to be in the marriage licence business all together. We decided to take ourselves out of that. We don't want to disappoint anybody but at the same time you've got those deeply held Christian beliefs that I do."
STEWART: "Wait a minute. In the minds of the judges and clerk, biblical law supersedes federal law. Which reminds me, what was that state constitutional amendment that Alabama voters passed last year by a huge margin. Some people refer to amendment one as the Sharia law amendment. It would prohibit judges and other state officials from basing any of their decisions on foreign law. Hmmmm, where was the bible written again? Last time I checked ancient Galilee is it not? Ancient Galilee is not one of the 50 states. Or even one of them territories that nobody knows about. Which makes it foreign law. The kind of foreign law you explicitly banned from judicial decisions. You have [bleep] yourselves with your own statute. Or as I hope it becomes to be known, 'brownbacking.'"
