Libellous and inaccurate content regarding Judge Miles-LaGrange's knowledge of the Supremacy Clause

A previous contributor had added this partisan and potentially libellous commentary on Judge Miles-LaGrange:

"However, she is unfamiliar with the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding," and has ruled that the imposition of Islamic Sharia law on American citizens on American soil is constitutional."

This is both a partisan political attack and simply wrong. First, although Judge Miles-Lagrange's preliminary order is controversial, it does not betray ignorance of the Supremacy Clause. That characterization of her ruling amounts to an allegation of professional incompetence. Second, the quoted language is simply wrong. I say this as a professor of constitutional law who makes his living teaching constitutional law. If I were to make her preliminary order the object of an exam question and a student were to simply state in conclusory fashion that her ruling shows a lack of familiarity with the Supremacy Clause, that student would merit a failing grade.

I have replaced the libellous partisan political attack with references to (1) the actual ruling, so that people may see the legal basis for her ruling and judge it for themselves, and (2) a cite to academic coverage of a resolution introduced by an Oklahoma state legislator calling for her impeachment, which conveys the fact that the ruling has attracted some criticism but does so in a strictly factual manner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davismaximus (talk • contribs) 09:00, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
