Judicial board rebukes Pennsylvania Judge for elevating Sharia law over US Constitution. Supporters' emails helped make a difference.

Judicial board rebukes Pennsylvania Judge Mark Martin for ruling that it was ok for a Muslim immigrant to physically attack and choke an American citizen because the Muslim was unaware that Sharia law did not apply in Pennsylvania.

Supporters' emails helped.

Pennsylvania Judge Mark Martin ruled that it was ok for a Muslim immigrant to physically attack and choke an American citizen because the Muslim was unaware that Sharia law did not apply in Pennsylvania.
Florida Family Association responded by sending out email alerts in February and March titled Judge elevates Sharia law over US Constitution in Pennsylvania, rules Muslim immigrant ok to physically attack and choke American citizen who mocked Muhammed.

Our email alerts encouraged supporters to send emails that called on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Judicial Conduct Board, Pennsylvania Governor, Pennsylvania Senate President and Pennsylvania Speaker of the House to remove Judge Martin. Florida Family Association supporters sent over 6,300 emails to each official.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Judicial Conduct Board reprimanded Judge Mark Martin according to a report posted at World Net Daily. Joseph A. Massa Jr. the chief counsel for Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Judicial Conduct Board responded to a complaint filed by John P. McTernan, a pro-life activist and founder of Defend and Proclaim the Faith Ministry. The board’s letter said, “The board recently concluded its investigation regarding the complaint you filed against Magisterial District Judge Mark Martin, Cumberland County. The board voted to issue a letter of caution to Judge Martin as a private rebuke of his behavior and, thereafter, to close the case. Judge Martin was mailed this letter, and the case is now closed.”

It appears that Florida Family Association supporters’ emails to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Judicial Conduct Board helped influence the board’s reprimand. A reprimand is certainly better than no disciplinary action at all.

Hopefully, the thousands of emails sent by Florida Family Association supporters to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Judicial Conduct Board, Pennsylvania Governor, Pennsylvania Senate President and Pennsylvania Speaker of the House communicated the message that Judge Martin’s elevation of Sharia law resulting in the obfuscation the United States Constitution was intolerable.

Judge Martin’s flawed ruling underscores the legal calamity that public officials are inflicting on the rights afforded citizens under the United States Constitution by recognizing Sharia law. This judge violated his oath of office to uphold and defend the United States Constitution by injecting provisions of foreign law into the public policy decisions of his court.
If a judge does not respect and honor his oath of office to defend and protect the United States Constitution he or she should be removed from office.
Florida Family Association will continue to:

Support legislation that prohibits courts from recognizing foreign laws including Islamic Sharia law.
Confront public officials who violate their oath of office by embracing provisions of Sharia law that are inconsistent with American laws.
Expose corporations that embrace or facilitate groups like CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) who support Sharia in America.
