I saw that one, too. It makes the American half of me embarrassed to be American. Now... had it been written so as to forbid courts from considering, or using "religious canon or law," I could get behind it. Were I an Oklahoman after this election, I'd put in a ballot initiative forbidding courts from considering Catholic canon.
