A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a District of Columbia law allowing “noncitizen residents” to vote in local elections.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of President Barack Obama, found that a group of seven citizen plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the legislation.
Their lawsuit against the D.C. Board of Elections, filed on March 14, aimed to block the 2022 law passed by the Council of the District of Columbia.
They argued that “noncitizens” do not have a fundamental right to vote in the United States and that allowing them to cast ballots and hold office in the District of Columbia dilutes the votes of U.S. citizens.
“It follows from our national independence that United States citizens have a right to govern, and be governed by, themselves. The constitutional right to citizen self-government, moreover, has been recognized in repeated holdings of the Supreme Court of the United States,” their complaint reads. “Nor does any noncitizen have a constitutional right to govern the United States,” the complaint adds.

“Harry Reid gave up the filibuster so that Democrats could pack the DC circuit with political hacks. Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson is a travesty to justice.”
She is, isn’t she? And it is amazing how many cases on issues such as this are assigned to her. Much like so many Jan 6 cases are “randomly” assigned to Judge Berle Howard.
The congress has power of these lower courts. Getting them to do something is another matter.
Hey, if illegals are allowed to vote in elections, what is stopping people from, say, Cuba, from ordering a mail-in ballot or absentee ballot? They ship them out of country to our military, so why not around the world to other countries. After all, we are a global society (according to the democrats).
Ahhh, the ‘newcomers’ still pouring in while Biden scratches his a$$.
It was bad enough when the courts said officials had to print ballots in multiple languages.
Then, we literally have EVERY democrat on record, EVERY ONE, supporting increasing the size of the Supreme Court. Republicans should move the bill increasing it to 13 seats and have Trump appoint 4 better, younger, and more conservative members.
Judges have been saying for DECADES that neither "We the People" nor aggrieved political candidates, have standing to challenge anything related to corrupt electoral practices.
In plain English it was a ruling on “standing” - who can bring the case, and not a ruling on the law in question.

Absolutely — ABSOLUTELY.
WHO EXACTLY DOES “HAVE STANDING” ?????

The Constitution is the basic law of the land. It either allows voting by non-citizens or it doesn’t. It’s my understanding that voting in our nation is for citizens only & that’s as it should be. Anything different(in my understanding) would require an amendment to the Constitution. Someone can point that out if it is not correct.
Yes.
It is.
And about vote fraud.
If you put your left hand on the Bible, raise your right hand and swear to defend this nation and the Constitution of the United States, you better damn will do it... Or lose your head.!
THAT'S what's really needed at this point in time.. That, or we're going lose it all....
So, our country has been overthrown.
yes, by the #ing Rats. The illegals are merely the instruments.
