Mondays big election law news came from the Supreme Courts penultimate decision of the term upholding Arizonas congressional districts.
But before handing down its last three decisions, the court made voting-rights advocates happy by deciding not to review a different election case.
Arizona citizens can continue to participate in voter registration drives without worrying about not having proof of citizenship documents, Shirley Sandelands, of the League of Women Voters of Arizona, said in a statement Monday.
The case, Kobach, et al. v. Election Assistance Commission, et al., was about whether Arizona and Kansas could require voters to prove their citizenship when registering to vote with the so-called federal form. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach led the suit against the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which was an appeal of a lower court decision.
Both Kansas and Arizona have state laws that require applicants to prove their citizenship when applying to vote with state forms (for state or federal elections). But the U.S. EAC denied the states requests to have their citizenship laws applied when would-be voters use the standardized federal form.

That works too!
It began a long time ago. It’s likely to continue and get worse, though.
see my tagline...
By the laws under which the REPUBLIC of Texas (then a sovereign country) was admitted to the US,they can leave anytime they choose to, no federal permission required.
Then they could secure their border with Mexico!
LOL....how about that!
This just in: Supreme Court names Obama King for life and repeals the First and Second Amendment
Satire, but you never know....
This has been a very bad week and getting worse. King for life would not surprise me but it would create a revolution.
As Ted Cruz said, they are part of the Washington cartel. Does anyone think they are going to do anything that will check their power?
So once again black robed thugs decide they know better than the average American voter or individual state legislatures? Whodathunk?
IT IS TIME TO RALLY AMERICANS TO THE BORDER AND DEFEND IT.
Also, the female influence on the court is devastating.. Well, in ALL business activities, court or not. Look what they've done to television, music, and soon.. BASEBALL!!!
Here’s how they ruled:
GINSBURG, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which KENNEDY, BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., joined. ROBERTS, C. J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which SCALIA, THOMAS, and ALITO, JJ., joined. SCALIA, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which THOMAS, J., joined.THOMAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which SCALIA, J., joined.
This is more evidence that we are not gong to get the country back through the ballot box. The US is like a house completely infested with termites and now we can't even call the pest controllers.
So what I may never have the answer about...does SCOTUS and the congress just really not care about us or do they and those that have kids and family just have so much that they insulate themselves from the country...or...do they really not have any idea what they are doing to the country? Roberts?
Even like Rubio...his commercial ran on Glen Beck’S Show today and I had to mute it...
How does someone turn their back on so many people they are charged with protecting their/our rights?
Yes it fits "giving aid and comfort to the enemy" like the nooses should fit around the necks of the majority justices after being tried, convicted and sentenced for their treason.
I bet he goes to be dreaming of what will be written about him by history.
Maybe I read it wrong, it’s been a long day, but I thought the court refused to hear it. By default then the lower court’s decision would hold, for now, but it’s not an actual decision.
Feel free to let me know how misinformed I am :-)
oh my goodness!! That CARTOON said it all.. that should be enlarged into BILLBOARDS!!!!!!!!! Or is that against OBama’s Law now too?
There’s been enough talk on FR about “turning this around” for the past four years. WHEN will someone finally, REALLY, start doing something about it?
We need to divorce and the sooner the better for all of us before the entire mess disintegrates in economic and cultural chaos and we start shooting at each other for real.
