From comment h/t southerndem link Boehner Blasts Bachmann, Says Her Unfounded Accusations Are ‘Pretty Dangerous’.
McCain in his earlier statement said Bachmann based her accusation on a report by Frank Gaffney Jr., founder of the Center for Security Policy and a longtime friend. McCain qualified the report in straight talk as scurrilous. Bachmann’s reply in a long letter to Ellison, which he rightly dismissed as just “regurgitated nonsense.” Looking through the names of the staff at the CSP I came across their lawyer David Yerushalmi, Esq. That clarified a lot of the Center’s policy of anti-Muslim rhetoric and pure racist hatred towards fellow Americans of a different faith.
Meet the White Supremacist Leading the GOP’s Anti-Sharia Crusade
(Mother Jones) – Yerushalmi, a lawyer, is the founder of the Society of Americans for National Existence (SANE), which has been called a “hate group” by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). His draft legislation served as the foundation for the Tennessee bill, and at least half a dozen other anti-Islam measures–including two bills that were signed into law last year in Louisiana and Tennessee.
With the exception of SB 1028, much of Yerushalmi’s legislation sounds pretty innocuous: State courts are prohibited from considering any foreign law that doesn’t fully honor the rights enshrined in the US and state constitutions.
