We have a right to religious freedom in this country, so Jewish courts, Sharia courts - even the Catholic legal system - operate quite legally. If you stop one, you're going to have to stop them all. And in a lot of cases they remove small civil cases from clogging up the system.

The planets have once again aligned; it's that special time once every six months where I'm in total agreement with Livia.

And an important thing for "Liberty4eva" to remember, I think, and why I questioned the legitimacy of his moniker... If you believe in liberty, it has to be liberty for ALL (so long as it doesn't step outside the bounds of the law). You can't say "Liberty forever! But only for those who happen to think and live like me!". That's... Well... That's not liberty.
