[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1332305, member: 5151"] As the measure is written, here's what will happen with foreign business relations: Oklahoma-based DeepOff* is world-renowned for exceptional off-shore drilling. BigOil* of Columbia would like to contract with them to drill their off-shore leases. Because the service will be performed in the territorial waters of Columbia, the laws governing the contract will be the laws of Columbia (whether explicitly stated or by default). BigOil's legal department, trying to make sure its bases are covered, find out that Oklahoma courts are unable to refer to international law. Because the courts cannot refer to international law, Oklahoma will be unable to enforce any judgments brought against DeepOff in the event of a breach of contract. BigOil decides to take their business to Texas-based Slackers*. DeepOff, realizing that its ability to do business is hindered by being located in Oklahoma, chooses to pack up and move to another state, taking many of the jobs it provides. [I]*Disclaimer: I am unaware of any businesses named the same as those I am using. If there are any similar businesses in existence, it is purely coincidental.[/I] If you want, I can bring up acts of Christian terrorism. Anti-abortion violence is a good place to start. I'm still waiting on intelligent answers rather than xenophobic rhetoric. [/QUOTE]
