The Department of Justice thinks it can “order” Florida to stop removing illegal non citizens from her voter registration rolls. The Sunshine State announced it will ignore the “order.” Let’s see Barack Obama and Eric Holder back it up.
The fight over States’ rights versus the strength of an all powerful central government has been set in motion: the fuse is lit.
Since Barack Obama and his Chicago thugs forced bribed and tricked Obamacare into “law” real America has been on a collision course with him.
This latest attack on our freedoms will likely only be settled by a courtroom showdown centering on whether the 10th Amendment to our Constitution has any meaning.
This powerful 28 word Amendment is the enduring gift James Madison left us to balance the voracious appetite for power he recognized central governments always have.
It says: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” It is a clear and potent weapon for justice against Obama’s fraudulent charge.
By bringing its attack on Florida the Department of Justice (DoJ) is virtually acknowledging the Democrat Party’s reliance on voter fraud to win close elections. DoJ statements on the matter acknowledge it centers on noncitizen “voting rights.”

Could be a blessing. If Holder was to push the issue and loses on 10th amendment grounds, it sort of resurrects an amendment that pols in both parties pretty much ignore. The 10th amendment could once again become a powerful tool for restraining Federal power.
Under Obama no state has a right to do anything unless ordered by his federal circus.
Not only is Florida's right to fix its voter registration list under federal attack, our religious freedom is under attack by the abortionists under Obamacare, Arizona is under attack over illegal immigrant control, Michigan is under attack by Obama's public employee unions thugs.
At what point will the people rise up to resist Obama's crushing of freedom?
God willing, the first Tuesday in Nov 2012.
The 1965 VRA protect the voting rights of all people alive at the time of the bill’s passage even after they dead. That much is clear.

George W. Bush signed into law a 25 year extension of the Voting Rights Act. The federal Department of Justice will be interfering in voting at the state level for at least another two decades.
