Sup Ct strikes down AZ law requiring proof of US citizenship for those seeking to vote in fed election. 7-2

[ConservativeMan55]

RIDICULOUS!!!!

WTF

[skeeter]

Who wrote the majority opinion and how in the world did they justify it?

[ConservativeMan55]

How do you strike down a law requiring proof of citizenship to vote?

Who votes against that??

[skeeter]

Scalia. Color me surprised.

[Jeff Head]

Supreme Court Justices are violating their own oaths to the Constitution. As with Obama Care, I bet PRISM is at work behind the scenes here.

SNOWDEN, PRISM, AND THE NSA

27 STATEMENTS BY SNOWDEN ON PRISM

The best expose on PRISM now comes from the 40 year career NSA employee, William Benny, who became the Director of Intelligence there under Geroge W. Bush. He has gone public since Snowden and detailed the full capabilities of PRISM and what the NSA was doing.

Former Director of NSA Intelligence reveals the full extent of PRISM capabilities. MUST SEE!

Another William Benny interview about PRISM and the NSA

Any good news today, anywhere?

SCALIA, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which ROBERTS,
C. J., and GINSBURG, BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., joined, and
in which KENNEDY, J., joined in part. KENNEDY, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment. THOMAS, J., and ALITO,
J., filed dissenting opinions.

[ConservativeMan55]

Seriously..

[Safrguns]

I thought that how states conduct elections was one of those rights reserved by the state.

In the past, SCOTUS has re-affirmed this on multiple occasions.

[ConservativeMan55]

In the opinion it says “how” states conduct elections is a right reserved by the state but not “who” can vote in the elections.

This is the case involving Arizona’s requirement that would-be voters provide proof of citizenship before being able to register to vote. Arizona’s proof of citizenship requirement is preempted by the federal law requiring that states use the federal voter registration form. Justice Kennedy concurs in part and in judgment. Justices Thomas and Alito both filed dissenting opinions.

[MichaelCorleone]

The ruling class don’t need no stinkin’ justification!

[ConservativeMan55]

Part of the opinion below..

Arizona is correct that the Elections Clause empowers Congress to regulate how federal elections are held, but not who may vote in them. The latter is the province of the States. See U. S. Const., Art. I, §2, cl. 1; Amdt. 17. It would raise serious constitutional doubts if a federal statute precluded a State from obtaining the information necessary to enforce its voter qualifications.

[Phillyred]

So then explain how is it constitutional to require voter ID when legally purchasing a gun, which is also my God-given constitutional right?

[Safrguns]

Proof of that which is already a requirement is a “how”. not a who.

Something really smells here.

[headstamp 2]

So basically anybody can vote in our elections now.

The Republic is finished.

[ConservativeMan55]

Stinks to high heaven..

I tried to read the decision. Gobbledygook.

With the integrity of the nation's form of government on the line, these guys are debating the minutia. Alice in Wonderland.

[Psalm 73]

As long as we have free elections and a functioning judicial system we cannot defer to the Plan "B" laid out by our Founding Fathers.
Just another step closer to plan "B".........
