The Kenyan should never have been allowed to usurp the office.

“Yeah Yeah, I have made many blunders in my life. Not learning cursive may be one of them.”


You can teach yourself how to write cursive, and it is never too late. We had to change my son’s school after he completed the first grade. The new school taught cursive in the first grade while the former school waited until the second grade. The new school was a private school. The principal would accept our son only if he could write cursive when he started the second grade. During the summer, my wife bought some cursive teaching workbooks. When school started our son could write the most beautiful cursive. So, you can too. I have said many times that I wish I could play the piano, but I didn’t really mean it because if I really meant it, I would have taken lessons and learned.

Judges don’t have that authority.

It won’t stand on appeal. Judges can’t change voting laws.

A bit off topic but this really pisses me off. Why are there no consequences for judges who get overruled on appeal?

They seem to not care a wit. They can just make whatever ruling based on their personal preference and a higher authority has to come in and clean up their substandard work product.

Where is the accountability. When a judge gets overruled the higher court is basically saying you suck as a judge, don't understand the law and or the constitution, your logic is flawed and your legal theories lack justification.

I know of no other profession where your job performance means nothing.

I suggest a 3 strikes and our out law. If a judge is overruled 3 times you are out, you have proven you are a poor judge and should seek employment elsewhere, perhaps the food service or house keeping industries.

Perhaps that would focus the judges on their legal obligation instead of their personal preference.

Sorry for the rant.

I agree with the judge. Because I do not remember if I signed voter registration in lower case or upper case. And there is no way for me to find out. I have a habit of using both when signing depending on my mood at the moment.

If you don't think your signature would match, then vote in person, with a valid ID.

Same problem can occur at in person voting? You have to sign and what if signatures don’t match exactly ??
Get on with modern technology.
Use thumb print for ID. It is fool proof.

While I am not intending to be insulting here, it is incumbent on you to ‘make your mark’ in a consistent and identifiable way.

It is the point of a signature, and even foreign illiterates have been able to do this for centuries.

We are all entitled to our opinions, including me and you
This is 21st century and technology has advanced rapidly in this century. There are better and more fool-proof methods easily available now over centuries old “signatures”. Have you done research on how many signatures get forged? Finger prints are infinitely more difficult to forge, for example and the technology is there to use a simple thumb print to confirm voter identity.

U.S. District Judge Richard Mark Gergel is another Obama stooge. Nothing else need be said.

Your ID doesn't have a picture on it?

Like I said, if while voting in person, I must sign to receive a ballot, it could become a problem.

Why not use 21st century technology of a finger print of thumb to identify voter? Photo ID’s are forged all the time. And the person at voting booth checking you in is not going to spend lot of time checking your old photo on drivers license (in my state of Florida they issue 10 year driver’s license and I now have a beard & mustache, the photo does not).

Where as thumb finger print never changes, and can be scanned accurately by a machine in seconds. My bank safe deposit vault uses this technology instead of the centuries old signature.

Frankly, I'd prefer to minimize the amount of biometric information the state has on me. I don't really understand how anyone could possibly trust state security to that degree. Do you want them to take a full set of prints?

Are there better ways? Sure. And you name some. But I think my point still stands in regarding the use of signatures.

So the photo on my driver’s license doesn’t have to match my face.

Wrong Answer,

Experts can tell who signed it.

I have a looong list of fixes we need, but here’s the relevant part to your comment:

- Incompetence. Every judge’s rulings are recorded and kept track of/made public for final disposal. On the anniversary of their swearing-in date, every judges’ caseload (from that seat) is looked at, and those with more than 10% of their rulings having been overturned in higher courts are automatically fired, and ineligible for any other judgeship within that State, or Federally, for ten years. A higher court can overrule this, but no more than once every three years for any individual judge.

- obviously authority. Judges can only issue “nationwide” injunctions within their area of jurisdiction. If they want to do anything outside of their little fiefdom, they have an accelerated back door to request that the lowest court with the jurisdiction required issue an emergency whatever-it-is, no more than one or two levels higher than their current seat. SCOTUS (maybe even lower circuits) has an option to force a recall attempt if a judge is doing this too much.
