JUDGE BLOCKS NORTH DAKOTA'S VOTER IDENTIFICATION LAW

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday blocked North Dakota's voter identification law after a group of American Indians said it unfairly burdens them - the latest court ruling against voting laws that critics say disproportionately affect minorities.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland issued a temporary restraining order and criticized the state for its 2013 repeal of provisions that let people without valid IDs vote if someone vouched for them or if they signed an affidavit swearing they were a qualified voter.

Daniel L. Hovland [born 1954] is an Article III federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota.

Hovland served as the Chief Judge of the Court from 2002 to 2009. He joined the court in 2002 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.

Hovland also ruled against a North Dakota 2013 abortion law, and granted an injunction for North Dakota abortion restrictions (2013).

Until this election year, I always wondered how judges appointed by "conservatives" like George W. Bush could rule this way.

Now I know that they're GLOBALISTS.

“So now we have North Dakota along with Wisconsin, Kansas and North Carolina where federal judges have, coincidentally it seems, blocked State voter ID laws.”

I would still think Trump has ND and KS in the bag.

It will probably cost him WI.

Trump should win NC, but in close race, it could cost him the state.

Hopefully the judges will primary targets in any such revolt. Let them reap the lawlessness that they sow.

Clearly this was planned by the DOJ to all occur close to the election so there would be no time to be addressed in the courts.

Hitlery will sweep this election. Last week TX and WI voter ID fell to the tyrannical Judicial system now making policy for the RATS when they cannot get thing passed on a VOTE.

Trump is at a severe disadvantage and I expect most folk do not even realize it. Media, Judicial, the GOPee, and not enough conservatives left.

You don’t think these ****ing “judges” aren’t working for the commie Clintoons? Imagine an entire Supreme Court full of these ***holes. You better seriously think twice before you vote for Clintoon. The time has come when we need to make these Federal “judges” run for those gigs.

Your explanation of the obvious wins the:

Awarding an actual trophy would be hurtful and unfair to the other participants.

Did you think this wasn’t going to happen? The federal courts are marxist democrat revolutionary cesspools. Congress needs to remove any judge that performs in this manner.

The simply is no TENTH Amendment anymore and one could argue the entire Constitution is being eradicated by the EVIL LEFT.

President Obama's Top 10 Constitutional Violations Of 2013

In 2001, then state senator and University of Chicago law lecturer, Barack Obama, sat down for a public radio interview. At the time, he did not anticipate a near-term run for the presidency. He spoke candidly and deliberately about how to “break free” of Constitutional constraints against redistribution to provide “economic justice.”

Trump and conservatives are fighting an all-out war against the shameless, traitorous leftists and globalists who will stop at nothing, break any law, flout any honesty or decency, in a rushed attempt to maintain power, to change the Supreme Court and to install their corrupt Hillary puppet.

We are at peak leftism.
