The Supreme Court has just issued an order (read it here) blocking the racially discriminatory separatist election in Hawaii. The order enjoins (stops) the counting of ballots and certification of results pending further order of the Supreme Court. I covered the electionhere and here at PJ Media.
Only one race is permitted to register to vote with Hawaiian government officials for the separatist election.Hawaii has given a private organization millions of dollars to run the election. They believe these actions are constitutional. Judicial Watch has sued Hawaii, and the Public Interest Legal Foundation has filed an emergency brief with the Supreme Court on behalf of the American Civil Rights Union asking the court to stop the election process. (I was on the brief.)
This morning Justice Kennedy, writing for the court, did so and issued an injunction.
Interests on Hawaii are attempting to set up a new government representing the "colonized" native Hawaiians. They do not view American sovereignty as legitimate. Naturally, the Obama administration took their side and filed a brief supporting the racially discriminatory election. They argued that even though Congress has never authorized a new government on Hawaii comprised of the native race, the state should be allowed to establish one.
In 2000, the Supreme Court struck down similar schemes but did not directly have a racially discriminatory election before it because the election had already occurred.
SCOTUS Ping.
The racial hypocrisy of the Left is breathtaking.
Huki Law.
Let Hawaii become independent, setting Hawaii free and Freeing America of Obama.
A guy I grew up lived in Hawaii for a while. He left, and never plans to go back. He predicted that the local natives will beg China or someone to come in in order to drive out the Americans.
That makes no sense. Only “natives” can vote to elect those who will represent them in a non-native government system? Is the population of Hawaii made up predominately of natives?
Damn. I was expecting a different outcome, with [bad] precedent being made that could be capitalized on by some clever honkies.
Japanese is the largest ethnicity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_Admission_Act#Statehood_vote
The referendum to become a state was approved by 93% of Hawaii’s voters. 90% was required for admission.
Right?
-from 2010 census
A quick check shows native Hawaiians to be somewhere between 10 to 23% of population.
I wonder how “native” is defined.
Good question, I have no idea but imagine it’s defined much differently by different groups.
Not to worry, China will claim it as their territory and take it over. I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t behind the agitprop.
If only natives are allowed to vote, are only natives allowed to run for office? (that leaves Obama out, if he decides to retire there)
Do non-natives get represented at all?
Is the Native government strictly local, or would they require representation in DC as well (HI gets double Senators/Reps). How about any other state with an Indian reservation? Shouldn't they get their own, too?
Which gov't has priority within the state of HI? Native or non-Native? Do they share law enforcement or would each have their own Police forces?
Who writes the laws that are enforced? Do these laws apply to all or just one group or the other?
Not good. Let them separate. Take their 2 Marxist senators and split.
