Look! Squirrel! (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!) More shuck and jive from the left, and more reasons to love Scalia!
FYI
>> After the decision today, states have a green light to do double- and triple-checking even if a registrant uses the federal form.
Quintuple-check bump!
It seems to me that the only way that this will really benefit the nation is if swing states and Marxist states (the usual suspects) enact positive voter ID/verification.It doesn’t make much difference if Wyoming,for example,enacts it.

Scalia is a 10th Amendment supporter, isn’t he? Makes sense.
usually i read this and think “its the GOP trying to make chicken soup out of chicken poop” but this guy seems to know what he’s talking about and has been fighting this fight for a while...
Now, if the states just pick up on it...
Well I’m certainly no expert, but when we railed against it earlier today, guess what this writer was doing. He was calling it a nothing-burger.
Now he’s evidently calling it a something burger. Great.
I’ve got no vested interest in mischaracterizing the decision. If it is as he stated, excellent.
Excellent post! If J. Christian Adams feels this strongly then it’s time to celebrate.
I’ve wondered about this decision today, particularly the fact that Scalia took the lead.
There were a few Freepers who got it and interpreted it the same way too on the other lead article. Had to re-read those posts again...
Good article, thanks for posting
Voters are still required to affirm on the federal form that they are citizens right? Only just not have to prove it.
Just create two lines at each polling place.
One: Federal, state and local offices (full ID and citizenship required)
Two: Federal only (Federal EAC form only required)
Put up a camera that snaps photos of those in the Federal line.
Lets see how many people enter the ‘Federal only’ line!
This is a hint to the red states and purple states where election integrity is a front burner issue. It is not a Left or Right issue, but an issue of those who (still) have faith in the election process and those who want to subvert it for purposes of maintaining power--and both parties have their minions and hangers on who want to suppress the vote.
Good, now if that immigration reform bill fails to pass then we can have a double celebration.
Thanks for the post!
You know, this is something like the third or fourth SCOTUS case in the last couple years with a “strange bedfellows” alignment of the Liberal bloc and some of the Conservatives where the initial reaction has been that of a huge victory for the Left but upon reflection looks like sly victory for Conservatives.
I’m wondering if the Conservatives on the Court have figured out a way of manipulating the Liberals into Conservative-favoring majority opinions. Give up on some minor point to win several major points and walk away with a solid 6-3 or even more solid 7-2 majority that dispels the notion of partisan bias.
Even though I strenuously disagree with the decision (”strenuously” isn’t actually a strong enough word for my feeling on this - the damn thing should have been struck down immediately and in it’s entirety), I have wondered if that’s what Roberts was trying for with the ObamaCare opinion. While the opinion left the piece of garbage standing under the auspices of the Gvt’s ability to tax, Roberts pulled all four Liberal Justices into supporting a majority opinion that defined - for the first real time since the New Deal iirc - good limits on what the Federal Gvt can do in the face of the 10th Amendment.
