Dan Bongino (at The Dan Bongino Show) discussed it in his podcast yesterday, and provided a link to the transcript of the oral arguments, and I was so intrigued by Dan Bongino's description of the events that I read the entire thing. It was fascinating reading to me.

I suspect that what sent this to the Supreme Court was a conservative voter showing up at a polling place wearing a NRA hat and denied entry, while they waved someone with a "Black Lives Matter" hat right on through. (Just a guess on my part)

I am not familiar with these things, so it was hard for me to figure out when I started in who was arguing for what. The first attorney represented the Minnesota Voters Alliance (Mr. Breemer) and while I was trying to figure it out, realized Sotomayor, Kagan, Kennedy, and (when she wasn't nodding off) Ginsberg were ALL over this guy. They were interrupting what he said, ganging up one after the other, and I figured out pretty quick which side Mr. Breemer was arguing for!)

But I loved it when guy representing the State of Minnesota (Mr. Rogan) came up, Justice Alito got right to the heart of the matter and drilled right into it...specifically with his comment about a shirt with the text of the 2nd Amendment, immediately followed by his question about the same shirt with the text of the 1st Amendment!

If you listen to the audio of this exchange at Audio for the Minnesota Voters Alliance vs. Joe Mansky at about the 30 min. mark is just great! He makes the guy start to stutter...:)

BRILLIANT!

Don’t any of these dolts see the absurdity of their position banning anything by such subjective measures? When their answers are “I think...”, “I don’t think”, “I don’t know”, “it depends on...”

Good God, please help us all.

The attorney should have just said, “I know when I see it” (quoting Justice Stewart regarding obscenity). The guy clearly lost the case, so he might as well go out with a laugh.

“Brilliant!”

I certainly agree!

Thank you for posting this. Justice Alito makes a very good point.

It is also a very good website. I like how we can listen to the actual audio exchange, how the transcript is highlighted with the text currently being spoken, and how the picture of the Supreme Court Justice speaking is highlighted.

Thanks for the audio link. That was amazing. Every right-wing issue would not be allowed in the polling place, but every left-wing issue could walk right in.

I just love the whole process.

Simply amazing all that has to be taken into consideration.

I know I showed up to vote wearing a “Clinton and Gore...Gone in Four.” hat and they made me take it off.

Bump for tomorrow.
