Ms Lappen,
I do not understand what it is that you would expect the NY legislature to do by way of passing a new law.
The NY legislature cannot prevent legal jihadist from suing in the UK.
They cannot create new jurisdictional rules over aliens that contradict Supreme Court guidelines. They cannot pass laws that allow NY courts to ignore foreign judgments if there is already a US treaty covering that and there is.
Also, IMHO, that internet tax, in the way you describe it, willsurely be struck down for much the same reasons that disallow NY to assert jurisdiction over bin Mahfouz.
Also, if you are suggesting that the UK applied sharia law, I disagree. If law was applied it was British law, not the sharia law definition of slander you correctly describe in the article.
I think Ms Ehrenfeld was taking a shot at a favorable ruling. She is no worse off now than before.
