South Carolina jumps on sharia law bandwagon

The crusade against the "ever growing threat" of Sharia law has marched on into South Carolina. Following the lead of places like Oklahoma, Rep. Wendy Nanney and Sen. Mike Fair introduced a legislative initiative aimed at preventing "a court or other enforcement authority" from enforcing foreign law. The two conservative sponsors of the bill hope to "preempt violations of a person's constitutional rights" that result from the application of foreign law. Foreign law of course is the new dog whistle for Sharia law.
