Highly respected national security experts ranging from former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy to retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin are warning the U.S. Supreme Court not to turn the U.S. Constitution into a “suicide pact” when the justices consider President Trump’s so-called “Muslim ban.”
If the court finds that Shariah supremacism equals Islam, equals religion, equals immunity from governmental protective measures, “the Constitution really will have become a suicide pact,” they wrote.
“We will have decided that anti-constitutional Shariah radicals are just as welcome as any other law abiding, patriotic Muslims.”
The brief was submitted by the American Freedom Law Center in a lawsuit against Trump’s plan to improve the security of the United States by banning entry of unvetted individuals from eight terror-supporting nations.
Along with McCarthy and Boykin, the brief is signed by Center for Security Policy Director Frank Gaffney, American Freedom Law Center Chairman Robert J. Shillman, retired U.S. Navy Adm. James Lyons Jr, U.S. Navy and Ambassador Henry F. Cooper.
The brief contends the president’s most recent executive proclamation suspending entry and creating a more rigorous entry vetting process for immigrants and travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen and Somalia is constitutional.
The case was accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court after two judges ruled against the president’s order. Oral arguments will take place in a few weeks.
The brief contends the problem is Shariah supremacism, which does not accept any separation between politics and religion.
Shariah “prohibits individual liberty (particularly freedom – of religion, of speech, and in economic affairs). It systematically discriminates against women and non-Muslims. It is cruel in its enforcement. And it endorses violent jihad to settle political disputes (since such disputes boil down to whether Shariah is being undermined – a capital offense.”
The brief points out the high court previously has found that an alien trying to enter the U.S. does not have any right to do so.
Instead, that is a “privilege.”
“Such privilege is granted to an alien only upon such terms as the United States shall prescribe,” the previous ruling said.
It continued: “The decision to admit or to exclude an alien may be lawfully placed with the president, who may in turn delegate the carrying out of this function to a responsible executive officer. … The action of the executive officer under such authority is final and conclusive.”
