9th circus on the loose again. This will be over turned on appeal.

Somehow I sense the aroma of ACORN here....

LOL!!!

9th Circus again...it figures....like I said we should shrink these bastards’ jurisdiction down to the size of a postage stamp and put their offices in the public bathroom at the Greyhound Bus Station in SF......let them get their new cases from their adjacent ‘glory holes’....

[mojito]

The 9th Circus. Yes, yes it is.

If SCOTUS agrees to hear the case.

Can you post a source link? Thanks.

Eventually, this nation will come to war.

Gee, I wonder which party these convicted felons will be voting for.

[Republic]

Great news, isn't it? I mean, you can rape and strangle a little girl, killing her after she has accomplished the rapists mission, and go to jail, and STILL get to vote even tho you have TAKEN THE LIFE of a person who will NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO VOTE! Really nice thinking on the part of this judge to make sure the poor minorities who sit in jail get to exercise a freedom many of them DENIED FOREVER to others.

Just plain sick.

Rulings from the 9th Circuit are meaningless.

Thanks.

And what if the poor convicted felon isn’t a minority? Or is that thought just a little too beyond the powers of these “judges”?

[vox_freedom]

OK, everyone repeat after me:

"The US Supreme Court will again overturn another verdict from the 9th Circuit."

to ensure that racial minorities are protected under the Voting Rights Act

So what they are saying is only racial minorities are felons....hmmm

[SumProVita]

Hope they take this higher...or have a referendum....SOMETHING!

[BuckeyeTexan]

You’ve GOT to be kidding me! Since minorities commit the highest percentage of crime, they make up the highest percentage of the prison population. And because of that, we’re discriminating against them by not letting them vote?!

Well, I guess we see why Obama and the Rats want to close Gitmo so badly and move those terrorists to the states ... Terrorists in prison will soon be voting for Rats.
