According to Megyn Kelly on FOX....Just Stevens....who has jurisdiction in that district.
It is now just a matter of time! Our Country died today!
Sad...sad....sad!
Everyone needs to calm down. It looks like the Supremes only sided with her in giving her more time to be in compliance. Giving her a stay for 2 weeks to have the info to the local officials.
Damn. Just damn. Well, if handled right this will just fuel more anger against judicial activism. We can channel this to our favor folks.
Anger against this has been seething.
Perhaps a Hockey Mom, a Plumber and ACORN can spell Victory for McCain.
I bet it was just Stevens...
Ohio goes blue...this is just about the final nail in the McCain/Palin catastrophe. Without Ohio...you do not win the White House.
No spin to this. 200,000 is a magic number...just enough to make sure Republicans can’t win.
Just Stevens, right?
That’s what I thought. Meaning that the Fed Appeals ruling stands.
I didn’t think that they could just rule and that’s it.
I thought they had to have arguments in front of them.
who can override the judge decision? The judge is NOT by the book and wondering how many who are victims out there by this judge? This person is not worth having at the court house and get rid of this judge person NOW!!
Amazing how the left finds "states rights" whenever it is convenient.
There's a gun show in town this weekend. I'm seriuosly considering a 12 ga. pump and maybe a .45 auto
Wow! Why on earth would any reasonable person NOT want to help prevent voter fraud. It’s not like she doesn’t know the issue exists.
That’s a rhetorical question...no need to answer.
it was reported that it was a decision of the ENTIRE court
Per FoxNews
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with Democratic Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, granting her a stay on Friday to a temporary restraining order from the 6th Circuit Court that ordered her to provide a system for implementing voter fraud prevention methods.
The decision by the full court repudiates the lower court’s ruling siding with the Ohio Republican Party and ordering Brunner to verify records of about 200,000 of 666,000 new voters this year whose driver’s license and Social Security records don’t match information in other government databases.
Hedging her bets, Brunner filed a motion late Thursday night asking the federal appeals court to extend or modify an earlier order to come up with a system to help counties verify voter eligibility.
Circuit Court Judge George Smith set the completion time for Brunner to come up with a method for validating mismatched voter registration data at midnight Saturday. Brunner, who filed a request for a stay of the order with the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, asked for a two-week extension so she could be compliant if the high court didn’t see her way.
The Ohio Republican Party filed the initial suit challenging the state’s compliance with the Help America Vote Act, alleging that the state has no system to deal with mismatched voter records.
On Tuesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati sided with the GOP. Brunner responded with an appeal to the high court.
In its reply brief to the Supreme Court, the Ohio GOP said if Brunner needed relief from the temporary restraining order then she should seek it from Smith, who issued the ruling.
I’m no lawyer, but I fail to see under what legal grounds could not checking registrations be legal, when the law says you must?
-- Patrick Henry
McCain needs to make this an Obama issue. He needs to call on Obama to get his Party to prevent fraud and ask for Obama to call on Brunner to help the counties to prevent fraud be releasing the info.
When did proving citizenship become disenfranchisement? So, basically, the court ruled that they people in charge to do a job, don’t have to do their job?
