Submitted Nov. 16, 1995.
Decided Jan. 26, 1996.

Judson H. Miner, Jeffrey I. Cummings, Barack H. Obama, Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, Chicago, IL, for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now...The plaintiffs had brought suit to enforce the federal "motor voter" law (National Voter Registration Act of 1993, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1973gg et seq.) against the governor and other officials of the State of Illinois, which had refused to comply with the law on the ground that it was unconstitutional. We upheld the constitutionality of the law and affirmed so much of the district court's injunction as commanded the defendants to obey it. Association of Community Organizations for Reform v. Edgar, 56 F.3d 791 (7th Cir.1995). That was last June. The district judge then scheduled monthly status hearings to monitor the defendants' compliance with the injunction. The state board of elections submitted a plan of compliance to which the plaintiffs raised three objections at the August status hearing. The judge directed the parties to brief these objections and after they did so he issued a "memorandum opinion and order" on September 6 addressing the issues.

30 Thousand Foot View- Obama sued the State of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to stop voter ID laws so ACORN would not have to verify IDs in order to register voters. The great work of a community organizer.

That seems to be all these lefty groups do is sue. I am surprised to see a Presidential candidate doing it.

Is this what America wants. The big clamp down on free speech? This is what they will get if they vote Obama.

Does anyone know anything more about Obama suing citibank for acorn. I heard something like this, but haven’t seen it in writing. I think the suit was to force the bank into the type of loans that have caused the current crisis.

[mnehring]

Do you know the year it happened? I can do a law record search.

[Danae]

What exactly does this mean to those of us who do not speak legalese.... tranlsation please!

[mnehring]

Basically, he is tied up with ACORN and all their voter fraud.

I don’t think that’s right. This case was about the “motor voter” law that Clintoon put into place.

[mnehring]

Thanks, I’ll post a full thread on it.

[Danae]

Well THAT needs to be screamed from the rooftops. Connect the dots... in the case of Obama, once you start following the dots it all leads to ONE thing. A Communist Coup of America. We just can NOT go there.

Thank You.

Plaintiffs filed their class action lawsuit on July 6, 1994, alleging that Citibank had engaged in redlining practices in the Chicago metropolitan area in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), 15 U.S.C. 1691; the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 3601-3619; the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and 42 U.S.C. 1981, 1982. Plaintiffs alleged that the Defendant-bank rejected loan applications of minority applicants while approving loan applications filed by white applicants with similar financial characteristics and credit histories. Plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, actual damages, and punitive damages.

This is from the site you posted.

The above states that Citibank turned down minority applications. It does not say that these loans were inside the redline area. In other words, they may be comparing the loans inside and outside the redline area, not inside-only.

I'd like to know this for sure, before I start blasting away at Obama to everyone. Maybe it's in the pdfs.

McCain won’t talk about it, the MSM won’t talk about it.

Palin will, but will only reach a limited audience.
