God help us… I am not sure that the United States is going to last. How can our form of government last when the American voters are so stupid?
“TOPEKA -- A bill that would ban the use of foreign legal codes in Kansas courts — broadly written but particularly aimed at Islamic “Sharia” law — is on its way to the governor.
The 33-3 Senate vote came after a long and at times emotional debate Friday.
Opponents, including two senators who signed the committee report to bring the bill to the Senate floor, called it intolerant and unnecessary.

Kansas an entire state filled with stupid people.
Did you see what the vote was on passing the anti-Sharia law?
It was 120 to 0 in the House and 33 to 3 in the Senate.

I also like the Star's comment on the KS legislature condemning a UN resolution - another time killer to keep them off in the weeds and all for the sake of posturing.
