i don’t know how newt expects to actually accomplish this. there is a ton of imported law. maybe all of it is. are there any laws based on native tribal customs?

what he really wants to do is find a way to persecute muslims and give preferential treatment to christians because i don’t think he plans on banning the use of all legal systems based on religous texts. i’m pretty sure he still wants to give special treatment to the protestant 10 commandments and still wants to say that america is a christian nation. what he really wants to do is trash the first ammendment.

Newt should be all for Sharia Law. He is now on his third wife. He initiated the divorces on the first two.

Just hope he doesn’t run for President on family values. It would be best if he would just go away and not be visible.
