Obviously, they aren’t citizens because they couldn’t have passed the citizenship test. So Alabama is going the way of Spitzer in New York and allowing illegal aliens to get drivers’ licenses. Go help us all.

In Bolin’s dissent, he said the majority was misinterpreting the constitution amendment.

“The immigrants who came to Alabama by way of Ellis Island in the early 20th century did not have the benefit of a tortured construction of Amendment No. 509 and evidently ‘assimilated’ the wrong way — they actually learned the English language,” Bolin wrote.

If I am in Mexico illegally, do I get to apply for a driver’s license and take my test in English?

In reality, of course, I would be instantly deported and the license test wouldn’t matter.

And she’s the only rodent on the bench, the rest are GOP. We know what liberal rodents do, but it’s the RINOs that help their cause to the last.

Meanwhile, next door in Georgia, the state supreme court has ruled that even if you dont understand English, reading Miranda rights or conducting tests like those for DUI in English are permitted regardless of what language you understand.

... no evidence that administering the test in multiple languages diminishes English as Alabama's common language.

Nice evasion of the key point. Drivers' tests are official documents and the official language is English.

the Supreme Court said the ProEnglish group presented no evidence that administering the test in multiple languages diminishes English as Alabama's common language.

Yeah, who are you going to believe? Us black-robed elite philosopher kings, or some silly written statute that reflects the will of the people?
