Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, America has one law, the United States Constitution. It is the foundation of our Republic and the ultimate authority in our legal system. It applies equally to every person in every place and in every case. The principle of equal justice under the law is what sets our Nation apart and ensures that no one is above the law and no one is beneath it. Sharia law is not simply a matter of personal religious belief or private practice, it is a comprehensive legal and political framework. Where it has been enforced around the world, it has often led to restrictions on basic freedoms that Americans recognize not only as God given, but constitutionally protected. In practice, sharia law has been used to target and disadvantage women, limit the rights of religious minorities, and punish political dissent. Our system is built on individual liberty, accountability, and fairness, not on unequal treatment or restrictions based on belief, gender, or background. No foreign legal code should ever influence American courts and create a parallel system of justice. Allowing outside legal framework to seep into our system would undermine the consistency and integrity of American law. Sharia law must never be allowed to override the Constitution in any kind of way. America does not bend itself to radical ideologies, whether they come from within or outside our borders.”
