Sup Ct strikes down AZ law requiring proof of US citizenship for those seeking to vote in fed election. 7-2
(Excerpt) Read more at supremecourt.gov ...
I hope Fedzilla starts checking us with drones. Good practice for hunting season.
Love your attitude. You give me hope!
“I hope the USDA doesn’t turn me in for farming without a license or something!”
My small garden area behind my townhouse has an 8 ft. brick wall around it so no one can see it from the outside. A drone overhead, however, and I’m caught. Then, it’s get the rifle and take out the drone.
You can’t even hunt on your own land without a permit, much less the king’s land...
>>> So then explain how is it constitutional to require voter ID when legally purchasing a gun, which is also my God-given constitutional right?
Freaking brilliant!
If the AZ governor or sheriff Joe has the courage to illustrate this absurdity by being absurd, they could easily take this ruling as a dismissal of background checks for firearms.
I wouldn’t count on the AZ Gov doing ANYTHING conservative. We’ve become her enemies...
We should ALL head into AZ next election and vote! If the Mexicans can do it then we can do it!
JUSTICE ALITO is correct to point out that the majority’s reliance on the EAC is meaningless because the EAC has no members and no current prospects of new members. (Alito dissenting opinion, page 6). Offering a non existent pathway to administrative relief is an exercise in futility, not constitutional avoidance. Even if the EAC were a going concern instead of an empty shell, I disagree with the majority’s application ofthe constitutional avoidance canon. I would not require Arizona to seek approval for its registration requirements from the Federal Government, for, as I have shown, the Federal Government does not have the constitutional authority to withhold such approval. Accordingly, it does not have the authority to command States to seek it.
Alito (dissent) page 6
In refusing to give any weight to Arizona’s interest in enforcing its voter qualifications, the Court suggests that the State could return to the Election Assistance Commission and renew its request for a change to the federal form. But that prospect does little to assuage constitutional concerns. The EAC currently has no members, and there is no reason to believe that it will be restored to life in the near future. If that situation persists, Arizona’s ability to obtain a judicial resolution of its constitutional claim is problematic. The most that the Court is prepared to say is that the State “might” succeed by seeking a writ of mandamus, and failing that, “might” be able to mount a constitutional challenge.
And yet no problem requiring it for any major service we need, bank accounts, insurance policies, and when your local jackbooted government thug demands it.
Good grief he needs a food and water taster. They have to be drugging him.
And I believe the opposite. It’s the feds causing most of the problems for America!
Personally, I’m ready for Texas to just secede! Only kidding a bit....
It is time to start ignoring the Supreme Court.
Go ahead SC, try to enforce your will. You have zero ability to.
This is a blow against federalism. All elections are local in America. There are no “national” elections. There are only two elected national offices, and they are federally elected indirectly by the Electoral College.
The founders had the right idea. I cannot believe Scalia did this.
Imho, start getting in shape now. You may not have a warning of 3 days, let alone a year.
And no, I'm not a doctor or fitness guru, although I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

I gave up on the NBA long ago. From now on it’s just hockey and golf for me.

It's like this: I can't do anything about the world, this country, this state, this county, or my town. I can, however, create my own world in my house and garden. My house and car are paid for. I am a prepper and I can lock my front door and have a good standard of living for as long as it takes for the world, country, state, county, town, to come to their senses and catch up with my standard of living. I am not going down with them so I'm not worried. It's sad the country is sinking, but I'm not.
"Arizona can ask the federal government to include the extra documents as a state-specific requirement, Scalia said, and take any decision made by the government on that request back to court. Other states have already done so, Scalia said.
The Election Assistance Commission "recently approved a state-specific instruction for Louisiana requiring applicants who lack a Louisiana driver's license, ID card or Social Security number to attach additional documentation to the completed federal form," Scalia said."

God forbid we limit voting to only legal citizens when there is so much more at stake for illegals.
