The States should tell the Federal Judges to go to hell and check for citizenship anyway.
I never have understood why one Federal judge has the power to negate the duly passed legislation of a state. Balance of powers implies that the Supreme Court is supposed to balance the legislatures.
One whacko judge with a 5 minute ruling can exercise more power than an entire state legislature which has often spent months (or more) working a bill through committees and the two houses, plus getting the whole thing signed by the governor.
Talk about tin-pot dictators! If a Federal judge has a problem with a state law, he/she/it should take it up with the Supreme Court.
Someone please enlighten me as to how this is constitutional let alone logical?
I've been saying this for years.
There is wealth in America and a wealthy man could hire people and start building a pipeline anyway.
A wealthy man could hire the people and construct refineries anyway ...
You get the picture.
The states can check and note this...for state elections...which worries some that there will eventually be two listings in every state....the pure and simple state-voters, and the complicated-accept-all federal list. It would take two or three federal elections for someone to note a ten to twenty percent difference....and that there’s some serious mess brewing here.
The Supremes can’t do much for state elections....each state can run their own method...determine their own day for voting...and arrange registration their own way. Once you say federal election...then all bets are off.

Yep. A couple of states are ignoring federal drug laws, apparently without repercussion. Why not ignore some more federal laws/rules?
states run their own elections. they have to ensure the integrity of their own elections.

Finally a kindred soul. Federal judges have no jurisdiction over a sovereign state. States that acquiese are just begging for more rulings. GA had to go to court two times to get our voter ID law validated. I thought we should have just instituted it and told the courts to pack snad.
It is the same for the federal buildings I go in to. Each and every one of them requires a photo ID.
The US Government is ten times worse than George III ever dreamed of being. The sacrifices of the Founders and their followers were in vain. One tyrant was traded out for an even greater tyrant. Sad.
