Where is the ACLU?

As some of you may know a judge in New Jersey refused a woman a restraining order against her husband after he repeatedly raped her.  The judge in the case, Judge Joseph Charles, ruled that since the woman's husband was Muslim he had the right to have sex with her...even if she refused to have sex with him.  The man forced the wife to have sex with him against her will.  Now I'm not a lawyer but I do know what rape is.  Forcing anyone to have sex is rape.  Period.  End of story.  But not in Islam and Judge Charles evidently agrees with that sentiment.  In steps Oklahoma.  As you know we had an election on the second of November and in Oklahoma a measure was passed by the people of Oklahoma stating a judge may not use religious or international law to make a ruling.  The Muslim community is up in arms.  They want the courts to make rulings based on Sharia law as is done in Britain.  So my question is where in the hell is the ACLU?  Don't they champion separation of church and state?  However that may be the reason why they are silent.  Maybe they are fine with Mosque and State.  Muneer Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Oklahoma  filed a lawsuit challenging the measure as violating his First Amendment rights.  That is crap.  First over seventy percent of the voters who voted approved the measure called State Question 755 also known as "Save Our State".  Second, the people in Oklahoma (and in any State) are sovereign and can do as they please as long as the State Constitution isn't violated.  That is why the States have Constitutions after all.  Lastly, the Federal Constitution restrains the Federal government not the sovereign states!  Wake up America!  Contact your newly elected state leaders and demand they pass laws like what Oklahoma has done.  If you don't there may be an Islamic court headed your way sooner than you think.
