There are 6500 different languages in the world. They better get plenty of ink.

For decades, Puerto Rican’s have voted for thieves with the hope that the thieves will share the loot with them.

[RetiredTexasVet]

And they wonder why people don’t consider Puerto Ricans American citizens?

[kiryandil]

Oh, look - another Federal judge-president has weighed in to the governing of the United States from the replica Oval Office in his judge's chambers...

When Newt became Speaker one of the contract items was make English the official Language. They didn’t do it, l knew it would come back to bite us bad.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

OK. Follow up on each and every one and see where they filed their federal taxes last year, and where they file their federal income taxes this year. No income tax for residents of Puerto Rico, but their is for Floridians.

Knowing the nature of most hispanic cultures these bozos are going to try to have it both ways. That's just they way those people are. Go after them hammer and tongs for back taxes if they vote in Florida.

The ClownBammy douchejudge is a one-man Democrat vote army:

In February 2018, Walker ruled against Florida and ordered Governor Rick Scott to restore the voting rights of felons after their release from prison

[kiryandil]

"A Federal judge today ruled that Pueto Ricans who vote in Florida elections do not have to pay Florida taxes. He further ruled that Puerto Ricans can vote twice if they're voting Democrat. He finally ruled that Democrats from Alabama and Georgia can cross the state border and vote in Florida elections."

You only need to be in Florida a day to register to vote in Florida. I got my registration when I got a new drivers license. It’s very easy to register in Florida.

I presume he based his decision on the idea that a person who has served his time should have his rights restored but of course he couldn’t find a former inmate’s 2nd Amendment rights could he?

[faithhopecharity]

Wow! On what possible authority could a federal judge rule that way against a state’s voting laws ?

[kiryandil]

Did I need to write "satire" on that post?    

[kiryandil]

Oh, sorry - I thought you were responding to my joke post.

As to ruling against a state's voting laws - they're Federal judge-presidents.

Their word is apparently Law, or as King John of Magna Carta fame put it - "The law is in my mouth".

That didn't go over too well with the nobles of England...

[kiryandil]

but of course he couldn’t find a former inmate’s 2nd Amendment rights could he?

The KlownBammy judge wants Democrat voters, not armed peasants...    

[TigersEye]

Yep! Well, we’re armed anyway. :)

[faithhopecharity]

The only thing I can think of is an aggressive use of the voting rights act, (which reeks of the postbellum occupation of the southern states imho, and is almost certainly unconstitutional - as are so many extensions of federal power , alas). Otherwise it’s a complete mystery to me tonight anyway, how a federal judge could force a state to amend or violate its voter laws on a topic like this, which has always been a matter of state law. Perhaps a FR-er. who happens to know can help out?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Friggin’ Nazi “judge” meddling in our elections. That’s just great.

[Lurker]

“which blocks states from conditioning the right to vote on an ability to understand English.”

The Statute does no such thing.

L

[deport]

knowing English should be a prerequisite for voting.

....But not one state even mentions it in their requirements

Let them vote in the PR election. Florida should take the judge at his word and facilitate the PR vote. They shouldn’t vote in the FL election, they need to have a say in the territory election
