It should be ignored...let the DOJ take GA back to the same
Fed courts that implemented the plan.

Georgia should both appeal the rulling and declare that it has no standing.

“Georgia should both appeal the rulling and declare that it has no standing.”

BO Justice Dept is challenging Georgia’s states rights. Here’s a story from the archives of my local online news dated May 28, 2009.

Henry official applauds new voter legislation

By Valerie Baldowski

vbaldowski@henryherald.com

Legislation requiring proof of citizenship to vote is now state law, and some officials in Henry heartily endorse the new measure.

According to the Georgia General Assembly’s web site, Gov. Sonny Perdue signed Senate Bill 86 into law on May 5. The bill amends a section of Georgia Code to require individuals applying to register to vote, to provide proof of United States citizenship before their registration can be accepted.

The bill passed in the State Senate 34-20 on March 3, and passed in the House 104-67 on April 3. The legislation takes effect Jan. 1, 2010.

I sent the link to a liberal family member who is gay down in Fl. We argue politics all the time and he has been going further and further to the left as he is morphing into the out of closet gay activist mimicking his new friends there. His response to that link as follow:

B.S. Non-citizens can't vote. This is totally associated with the Voting Rights Act ... which if the Jim Crow south hadn't abused the power of the majority to deny voting rights to the minority blacks ... there never would have been a need for Federal intervention. This has nothing to do with allowing non-citizens to vote (because they can't and the administration is trying to let them) ... this is slight of hand / smokescreen for the real issue which is how much longer is the "special dispensation" allowing the Federal government the authority to approve voter registration and voting rights laws in a select number of former Jim Crow states. A couple years back Congress already voted to extend the program another 25 years or something like that. Just because the Administration won't approve a change for GA procedures doesn't mean they are trying to let non-citizens vote. If the procedures stay as is ... non-citizens still can't vote. So to say that just because they won't approve a change doesn't mean they are trying to give non-citizen. The Supreme Court has already ruled that Indiana's driver's license / photo ID is constitutional, particularly since there are provisional voting procedures in place. This is just another example of a deliberately INFLAMMATORY remark that obscures the truth in other to mischaracterize and paint the other side as being for something that they aren't. So let's focus on the real issue which is that the special federal dispensation was admittedly appropriate in 1970's and 1980's ... but it's time to decide how much longer such federal intrusion should be allowed to continue. There's no doubt that the special dispensation was constitutional since the constitution is VERY EXPLICIT in Article IV Section 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion." So the federal government certainly has the power under extraordinary circumstances when evidence reveals the state is not acting as a republican form of government.

It is kind of fun arguing with him, any good ideas are welcome.

Why should Republicans continue to play by the rules? Why don’t we start signing up our dogs, dead relatives and cartoon characters? Keep pushing us and see what happens.

What can I say? He obviously is beyond learning anything since he already knows it all. But, best of luck and please keep trying. Everything you add will be like planting little seeds for thought. Eventually, those roots will start growing! Best wishes to you, Patriot!

Next: Pres doesn’t have to be an American

Next: Pres has no term limits (illegally revoke the 22nd amendment under 'special circumstances'.)

Ask him if he supports non-verified voting.

Ask him if he can see ‘abuses of power’ on both side of that coin.

Ask him if he supports abuse of power, or if he supports equal treatment under the law.

Finally, ask him if a society can ever be compassionate that doesn’t follow some kind of rules, some kind of rule of law that we can all agree with/sign off on..

This needs to go straight to the Supreme Court. That institution hasn’t been taken over by the radical left yet.

They are already preparing to try to fix the 2010 elections.
They will try at their peril.

Has there been any progress opposing the stupidity of putting the Census Bureau underneath the WH thumb?

Poorly done IMO.

Then the GA poll workers must aggressively ID everyone who turns out at the polls on election day

As per the American Constitution - who can legally stop them from their patriotic duty? It says legal American citizens only. Proof everyone, so no one can claim bias.

The people of Georgia need to hear about this loud and clear. The press won't report it enough to get the peoples attention.
