Roberts will do as instructed by his masters.
Nothing would surprise me with this Gutless Justices.
Sorry pal - it’s in the constitution. States have exclusive rights to determine their voting laws - including electors.
Short of an amendment to the constitution the feds have no power here.
Good thing we have a conservative SCOTUS. s/
Good luck with that.
The world has learned over the last few months that there’s not a court in this nation that can be depended upon to uphold the rule of law.
This is a total non-sequitur and I don't know what it's doing in this article. It cuts against the other arguments
AZ has had no-excuse vote by mail for 20 years and even before Covid 80% of voters used it. It's extremely popular in the state and there isn't an effort underway to eliminate it.
If Gorsuch, Kavanagh and Barrett cave on this case they are completely in the tank for the Deep State voter fraud. Nothing they can do will reverse their cowardly and treasonous refusal to rule on the clear Constitutional violations that took place in many of the swing states that decided the 2020 election, but they will at least give us a glimmer of hope that future elections could be made more secure through legislative action by Republican controlled legislatures. If SCOTUS permits State courts and/or their Secretary of State to rewrite election laws (as happened in Pennsylvania, Georgia and other states), then they will likely also uphold HR 1. America has one foot in the grave. This decision will either give hope to the disenfranchised voters or be America’s last rites.
Moving forward 57 years, the arguments used by liberals relative to ballot access parallel those used with regard to poll taxes and literacy tests. The precedent for Federal intervention was established in the Great Society era.
This is the whole ball of wax.
I dont want them to just fix it for 22.. I want them to right this stolen election. I want them to carry Joe and jill out and put the voters choice back in.
I keep going back to Normandy.. young men.. rode those boats to the edge of the ocean and then walked in water and sand to the shore..KNOWING Germans were on the hill .. guns aimed at them as they walked carrying heavy gear.. stepping over dead and wounded American soldiers... can’t help the wounded and must take the guns of the dead.. if you can grab it on the run.. bullets already coming from the hill...
Getting off the boat.. scared like never before.. death all around.. trying to get enough men ashore...
Today there are not many left with nerves of steel and doing what all that training was for... and praying.
where are the men who should have stood in the gap for President Trump ... lazy.. scared of losing that precious position...
I am of the opinion that the Constitution specifically enumerates State Legislators with the authority to regulate their own elections. But how does this resolve against Congress and the supremacy clause?
My opinion is that when a group or citizen is specifically empowered under the Constitution, that enumeration trumps the supremacy clause. This means that in federal elections, the state, representing the state’s interests are EQUAL to the Congress representing the federal interests. States are not empowered to override the constitution, States must abide by any law past by Congress that does not impact the State’s authority.
For example, States have a vested interest in making sure that the voting rolls accurate represent citizens and residence of that state. Congress can not restrict a state from cleaning up (purging) voter rolls .... as long as the rules of the purging are in alignment with the Constitution.
I believe that the “test” for any such conflict should be the doctrine of strict scrutiny. Strict scrutiny will often be invoked in an equal protection claim. For a court to apply strict scrutiny, the legislature must either have passed a law that infringes upon a fundamental right or involves a suspect classification. Suspect classifications include race, national origin, religion, and alienage. In this case, under the classification of alienage which I would expand to citizenship and the rights (voting) held by the citizens of a state.
As this deals with the rights of citizens to express their will via legislators and that the Constitution has enumerated that right, then, Strict Scrutiny should be applied (a challenged policy in which the court presumes the policy to be invalid unless the government can demonstrate a compelling interest to justify the policy)
SCOTUS stinks.
Didn’t they say with the various election cases that they had no jurisdiction over state election matters? Hence the reason they didn’t hear the cases.
If so, how are they allowed to hear this?
According to SCOTUS, the states can run their elections as they deem
I guess now someone/something, as long as it isn’t Donald Trump, can now have standing.
Personally-right now, I think of the SCOTUS as a dead letter, populated by a bunch of overpaid tools
Biden: Look The SCOTUS has a important role to play in this.
Press: What is that?
Biden: Doing what I tell them. Ole Barrack waved his finger and they got all excited and they did what he told them to do.
Press: They did?
Biden: Damn right. We got Obama-care passed. I can’t have these freeloading judges going with the Republicans just because the Republicans got them in.
Press: How do you do it with these judges?
Biden: Like we do it with RINOs. My staff were involved with those junkets to Epstein’s pedo island. Judge Roberts was there leading a conga line of young boys into the washroom. You get the idea...
Press: So you got dirt on that Roberts.
Biden: Roberts is the canary in the coal mine... Once he sings they all get in line. With Mr. “party boy” K you have to threaten to stop the beer flow but once he starts crying in his beer, he’s in. Perky Barrette is the easiest to control with her addiction to teen magazines...
Press: So you learned a lot from Obama.
Joe: Yeah, Obama was like their big daddy who would get mad at them and they would quake and quiver to please him. Once they got daddy’s attention, they knew he loved them and they would do whatever it takes to make him happy. That’s the biggest part to it...
Press: Are you saying the SCOTUS is corrupt and cowardly, quaking and fawning before political authority and not the Constitution?
Joe: I don’t care what you call them... Just as long as they do what I say. End of story.
The Democrats would prefer that the US election process be open to all ... all 7 billion humans and perhaps a few that aren’t ...
I’m keeping an eye open for mention of the 12th Amendment (12A), one of the most trampled parts of the Constitution imo, thanks to the constitutionally undefined, Constitution-ignoring political parties.
Was there any mention by federal lawmakers of possible problems with state compliance with 12A on January 6th when anti-Trump Congress wrongly ignored (imo) other major concerns about alleged problems with the election?
Regarding possible problems with 12A, the states surrendered their power to make so-called “winner take all” laws for electoral votes, for example, when they ratified that amendment imo.
In other words, the states have been allowing votes to be stolen in broad daylight for decades, so actually no new problems in 2020 imo.
In fact, patriots are reminded that their “power” to vote for POTUS is a politically correct power under the states anyway, not a constitutionally enumerated power like powers to vote for senators and representatives.
In other words, the only thing different in 2020 that patriots finally got to see regarding a presidential election is, thanks to hero PDJT, very convincing (unrefutable?) evidence of ongoing presidential election vote-counting fraud, “the man behind the curtain."
Gossip goes that anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement had to get Senate and POTUS under mob rule, elected by ordinary, low-information voters, in order to unconstitutionally centralize government power in DC.
The Supreme Court has already ruled that they cannot.
