Left Loses Big in Citizenship-Verification Supreme Court Case

They’re trying to put lipstick on a pig. Read the dissents. The SCC was never going to strike down the right of the State’s to insist on ID for State and Local elections. That was a red herring. The SCC gave the big victory to the left and, as the two dissents indicate, the bone that Scalia supposedly threw to Arizona is unenforceable.

[DoughtyOne]

You may be right. I’m not an expert in the legalese of these types of cases. I do hope you’re not right though. LOL

[GOPJ]

Those complaining about the opinion don’t understand what the Left’s goal was in this case: total federal preemption. On that score, Justice Scalia foiled them; indeed, the decision today was a huge war won, even if the small Arizona battle was lost.

AND the left is losing elections left and right... there is good news...

Scalia did some sleight of hand and refocused the justices on the minor issue of standardized form format ~ it's just the same old same old issue we've been addressing since the day of the high speed line printer with pinwheel fed paper.

Quite a trick really. The rest of the issues raised in litigation do seem to have been ignored!

Read it half a dozen times and realized that there wasn't any meat in there, or else I was suffering early onset Alzheimers or maybe a brain concusion. That makes the dissenting opinion much more important in any future cases ~ there's only one!

“It seems to me that the only way that this will really benefit the nation is if swing states and Marxist states (the usual suspects) enact positive voter ID/verification.It doesn’t make much difference if Wyoming,for example,enacts it.”

I beg to differ with you. Wyoming is just as important because Wyoming’s US Senators are equal in all respects to those of any other state. When the Senate votes on treaties and appointments then the security of the vote in Wyoming is just as critical as it is in Arizona.

Maybe even more so because just 1,000 fraudulent votes could swing Senate elections in Wyoming whereas 1,000 such votes in Texas would be unlikely to even be noticed.

Well stated, 101ORD.

[Jacquerie]

Please excuse my earlier, curt response. Whining here at FR is indeed useless.

[okie01]

The next lawsuit will follow the same track, and they will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending it.

And so long as leftist non-profits are partially funded by the U.S. government, we're going to have that problem.

In the meantime, the best course is to fight them on every front, regain power...and defund their sorry butts.

Thanks jazusamo.

[cradle of freedom]

They are revealing what all their tricks are.

Anytime we stop the Marxists from doing damage to the constitution or the election laws it’s not a victory, it’s merely a “hold”. When we go on offense and undo some of the damage they have done, then we have a victory.
