US District Judge David Leibowitz dismissed a case against Florida non-citizen resident Chelsea Cox for voting in the 2020 election on the grounds that "under the US Constitution each state has the right to decide who will be allowed to vote in elections. Article I, Section 4 explicitly states that 'The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.' There is no requirement regarding citizenship mentioned. Therefore it is my ruling that the federal government lacks the authority to prosecute Ms. Cox for illegally voting. The authority to prosecute rests with the state governments who may choose or decline to prosecute."
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) called the ruling "a godsend for the Democratic Party. Every blue state can decline to enforce state laws that make it illegal for non-citizens to vote. Our Party's sanctuary policies have been vindicated. All the immigrants we have invited to enjoy our protection can now be issued ballots they can cast to reward the Democratic Party for what we've done for them."
Ms. Cox entered the US in 1999 as a tourist and remained after her visa expired. She later used a fraudulent US Virgin Islands birth certificate to obtain a Florida driver's license and used both of these documents to register to vote in 2012 and cast ballots between 2012 and 2020. She was only charged for her 2020 ballot because the statute of limitations had run out on her previous election crimes.
Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival called the ruling "absurd. What Judge Leibowitz omitted from his reading of the Constitution's Article I, Section 4 was what followed the clause he used to justify his outrageous decision. Namely, what he excluded was 'but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.' The 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act was a fully constitutional exercise of federal authority to alter the regulations to require that voters be citizens. Further, Ms Cox's devious actions to evade this law demonstrated a knowing criminal intent to violate the law. If this kind of behavior cannot be prosecuted our republic will be overthrown by invaders who do not share our founders' hope to 'secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.'"
In other Florida news, Judge Diana Tennis quit her job on the 9th Circuit Court to avoid disciplinary action for making more than 900 political donations totaling $29,000 to Democratic candidates and groups. The Florida Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits sitting judges from making political donations. The Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) called Tennis "far and away the most prolific offender both in terms of total dollars and number of contributions." Tennis' timely resignation will prevent her from being fined or losing the publicly-funded portion of her pension. Her latest financial disclosure form shows she has a net worth of nearly $3.8 million.

Try sneaking into another country and voting there. Let’s see how that works out.
Barack Obama’s Constitution ?LOL
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) called the ruling “a godsend for the Democratic Party. Every blue state can decline to enforce state laws that make it illegal for non-citizens to vote. Our Party’s sanctuary policies have been vindicated. All the immigrants we have invited to enjoy our protection can now be issued ballots they can cast to reward the Democratic Party for what we’ve done for them.”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
schumer’s (wet) dream come true?
These leeches are bleeding the West dry
I knew thst some political hack judge would sooner or later declare that the Constitution to be unconstitual.
So the whole world can vote in our elections, ‘eh Moishe? Send out the mail in ballots to the universe.
Another Fake judge but a Real Idiot
Tons of Fake judges will start insane rulings to Interfere with the Election
It was a thing at the federal level from the founding of the county until up to 1926 when the last states made it illegal in their constitutions. Texas allowed it from 1776 to 1921. All you had to do was declare an intention to become a citizen. 40 states in total allowed it at some point. It wasn’t the constitution that stopped it.
Every state has made it illegal. Try them at the state levels.
Article I, Section 4 explicitly states that ‘The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives.
And what is stopping them from other elections ID’s ?.
Pure BS cheating allowed democrats wink and nod
Just another of the AWFUL judges,,,,,lots of them out there.
I could swear that SCOTUS recently ruled that non-citizens could be removed from the voting rolls.
Maybe in STATE elections for STATE offices, but states have NO say in FEDERAL elections for FEDERAL offices (Rep, Sen POTUS).
If he isn’t impeached patriots may well consider boiling the tar and collecting the feathers.
Before commenting on John Simmons thread seriously, you need to ask him which parts of the post are real and which are his added satire.
I dont comment on these semi-satire threads because they are neither fact nor funny in my opinion, but I dont criticize the poster because I am not a mod and I have enough beefs with mod rules around here already that I dont need to be ‘hummblegunning’ blog threads.
But you cant take this thread seriously as it blurs truth and supposed humor. Not nearly as clear or funny as the Bee.
Judge Liebowitz has his undergrad degree from the Marxist dominated London School of Economics. 33 Republicans voted against his confirmtion as Biden apointee.
He actually didn’t say that. He might want to say it but he didn’t. The op is satire
I simply can not begin to describe the rage. The Democrat Party is RAPING the United States and no one is stopping them from doing it.
Got me. Thought it was a straight quite. Title should have had (semi-satire) in there. The mods jump us for every little thing and then let this pass.
