That's a darned good question. Because they can get away with it?
George Will said the other day that the Democrats have realized that after 20 years of trying to persuade voters that liberalism is the way to go, they have failed and SO NOW THEY USE THE COURTS.
This reason, if for no other, is reason enough to vote Bush.
It's not like there was no warning. This needs to be spread around detroit as a reminder of who screwed them.

What a load of RAT. I can't believe that the feds would NOT appeal. I also can't imagine the Supreme Court would be happy about taking future appeals as such, so they are likely to absolutely eviscerate the first one they see on the side of making life harder for whining voters. They tend to side with administrative decisionmaking at the local level (unlike the Florida Supreme Court and Michigan DCA, which obviously prefer to make all the decisions for their state).
Why even bother having elections!
Why not just have the DNC's attorneys fight for their candidates!
This country's ingenius designs are all but defunct if these suppressive and fascist tactics are allowed to succeed.
"At the rate we're going, elections will be useless. Heck, they're almost that already. These people don't care if they destroy our republic, as long as they're back in power."
I asked this question before on another thread, but I didn't get an answer.
At what point do these people, (demonrat~ judges, demonrat~ lawers, and those who commit OUTRIGHT voter fraud) become enemies of the state?
What can be done to STOP this before it's too late? Or is it too late?
Are the Democrats saying they're too stupid to find their proper polling places?
Okay, I understand the issue of disenfranchisement as it applies to denying anyone the right to vote based on race, religion, etc. I understand the Federal Courts being involved in those types of cases.
But the issue of voting rules and regulations is left to the individual states--am I correct? So if a person cannot vote because he feels it is an imposition to go to the correct precinct--why is that a matter for the federal courts? The reason for the rules and regulations is not to deny a certain segment of the electorate a vote--it is to insure an orderly process towards the election. The more confusion, the less reliable the system is.
Someone help me out here. Why are the federal courts involved in correct precinct issues?
It's too bad that Klintoon's judge appointments didn't get filibustered like grandma Stabenow and Levin did to Bush's nominees.
Good point. He has no jurisdiction.
This ruling should be ignored.
The Supremes ruled in 2000 on state law.
This guy is over-reaching.
Sad to say, but we should use the system Afghanistan implemented where we have our fingers marked with dye that lasts at least 48 hours. From abortion, gay marriage, attack on God, et al is the only way Liberalism can make it in our country.
is through the court system...sorry i was so mad after reading this i couldnt think straight.
How do you even GET a ballot if you are in the wrong precinct?
I'm beginning to wonder if there is going to be an election at all. They should ban both political parties.
"At what point do these people, (demonrat~ judges, demonrat~ lawers, and those who commit OUTRIGHT voter fraud) become enemies of the state?
Precisely! How long will decent, honest Americans sit back while self-serving activist judges gut our constitutional rights?" This is quickly becoming a legitimate case for anarchy.
The 'Rats and their Kangaroo judges are determined to turn us into another South American Country.
Thanks for the post Dan. STUPID PEOPLE SHOULD NOT VOTE!!!
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett requested over 900,000 ballots even though there are scarcely 400,000 eligible voters in the city. Go figure. The dems are so shamelessly emboldened to cheat precisely because their arses are covered by dem appointees.
