Another You Gotta' Be $**tting Me--Federal judge orders female g*****l m********n charges against Muslim doctor dropped

This is one of the most appalling decisions to be issued by an American court since the Dred Scott decision. If the law that’s being used to prosecute her is unconstitutional, then is it even possible to criminalize FGM in the United States? This far-left, activist judge apparently has no concern whatsoever for the girls who are going to suffer intense pain and have their lives destroyed because of his ruling.

The number of women and girls at risk for female g*****l m********n (FGM) in the United States has more than doubled in the past 10 years. More than half a million women and girls in the U.S. are at risk of undergoing FGM in the U.S. or abroad, or have already undergone the procedure, including 166,173 under the age of 18, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).

This judge should be impeached and removed from the bench.

“Federal judge orders female g*****l m********n charges dropped in Detroit,” WJBK, November 20, 2018:

DETROIT (WJBK) – A federal judge has dismissed six charges of female g*****l m********n against a doctor, declaring the nation’s female g*****l m********n law as unconstitutional.

The federal judge in Detroit ruled in the historic case on Tuesday, ruling the law that prevents female g*****l m********n (FGM) is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman ruled that congress does not have the authority to make FGM illegal, which it had been classified as illegal under the Necessary and Proper Clause or the Commerce Clause.

The case involved Dr. Jumana Nagarwala who had been awaiting trial on female g*****l m********n charges. She was arrested in the summer of 2017 and was released on a $4.5 million bond.

According to the opinion filed by Friedman, congress had banned FGM under a statute that states “whoever knowingly circumcises, excises, or infibulates the whole or any part of the labia majora or labia minora or clitoris of another person who has not attained the age of 18 years shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.”

Prosecutors said she did that with at least six girls at a clinic in the Detroit area, including two girls from Minnesota. The doctor denies that she committed a crime and says she performed a religious custom from her Muslim sect, the India-based Dawoodi Bohra.

The doctor, through her attorneys, argued that the law that the federal government had been using to charge her was passed through Congress without proper vetting.

Her attorneys argued that the act of FGM had no bearing on commerce, which judge Friedman agreed with in his opinion:

“That clause permits Congress to regulate activity that is commercial or economic in nature and that substantially affects interstate commerce either directly or as part of an interstate market that has such an effect. The government has not shown that either prong is met.”…

Weasel Loc: In the Great State Of Indiana!!

This Doctor should get his 5 years in prison for performing these operations!
Currently, a bill before Congress would triple the 5 year sentance to 15 years for performing these acts of Female G*****l M********n.
And yet the ME-TOO Movement / Organization, Sits on their hands, rather than making a public statement on this issue
Google (The me-too position on Female G*****l M********n)
It is amazing to see this so-called organization, turn their backs on women when it comes to this Horrifying act of violence against young girls.
Some of which have bled to death after this procedure.
