Justice Kagan blocks effort to stop Montana from mailing ballots to all voters
FOXNEWS ^ | 10/10/2020 | Morgan Phillips

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan denied a request from Republicans to stop Montana Gov. Steve Bullock’s (D) plan to mail ballots to all registered voters.

Kagan, who has jurisdiction over the case based on geography, denied the request without referring the case to the full court.

The suit was brought by Joe Lamm of the Ravali County Republican Central Committee and other voters.

The GOP-dominated Legislature banned mail-in ballots for general elections, instead allowing only by-request, no-excuse-required “absentee ballots” and in-person voting compatible with Phase 2 safety restrictions in the governor’s COVID-19 reopening plan.

But Bullock argued an emergency declaration connected to the coronavirus pandemic allows him to suspend that state law.

Of course she did. The rule of law means very little to democrats in general and nothing at all to Kagan. She is one of many disgusting stains left behind by Obama.

Changing the rules of the game at the last moment is UnAmerican. It is , however , Democratic.

She’s the next one that needs to fall seriously ill and die. I have no mercy for these Marxists. I would piss on RBG’s grave every day if I could. She was a baby murdering bitch.

They did it here in NYS. Cuomo even listed Covid as a reason why you need a mail in ballot.

Doesn’t work that way. He’s Chief Justice as long as he is there.

This is the traitor who ruled on the constitutionality Obongo care even though she helped write it. By the time full SC rules on this the ballots will already be in the mail. assuming the full SC even hears it, then there is the 4-4 problem. It’s just an insult to claim the virus is so bad Montana election laws can be tossed. Watch every rat state do this now.
