#1 Judges have entirely too much power and not enough accountability.

#2 They also like to scream separation of church and state, unless it's muslims. Then the state can support them all they want. People are really getting fed up with this crap.

#3 Again, a great pitch for there being a Second Court of the United States, composed of 100 State judges appointed by the State legislatures.

Located between the SCOTUS and the federal District Courts, they would not be a federal court, and would not determine if something was constitutional.

Their purpose would be to balance the federal judiciary, by taking State cases, improperly taken by federal judges, out of the hands of federal judges, and returning them to the States.

In this case, if other States backed Oklahoma in this action, Oklahoma would have a law its people wanted, even though a federal judge didn't like it.

#5 "given that there is no apparent danger of foreign law becoming binding on the state"

I beg to differ. In Germany courts have already accepted certain Sharia regulations. For example a judge ruled that the first wife of a Muslim living in Germany had to share her pension with the other wives of her husband thus accepting polygamy, which is legal in Muslim states but not in Germany.
