In 2013, in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, a divided Supreme Court ruled that Arizona could not implement their citizenship verification requirement unless and until the EAC agreed to change the instructions on the Federal form to include the Arizona requirement.
The left was livid that Arizona wanted only citizens voting and pressed the suit all the way to the Supreme Court.
Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the majority opinion, with the stipulation that should the EAC refuse Arizona’s request to assist in the proof of citizenship qualification, then Arizona could sue the EAC and authenticate in court that “a mere oath will not suffice to effectuate its citizenship requirement and that the EAC is therefore under a non-discretionary duty to include Arizona’s concrete evidence requirement on the Federal Form.”
Arizona could also claim that the EAC was acting arbitrarily because it had “accepted a similar instruction request by Louisiana.”
Indeed, the Court noted, the EAC had ”recently approved a state-specific instruction for Louisiana requiring applicants who lack a Louisiana driver’s license, ID card, or Social Security number to attach additional documentation” to the federal voter-registration form.
Alice Miller, an acting executive director and not the EAC commissioner, denied Arizona’s request. One woman ignored the Supreme Court’s ruling. There is question as to whether Miller had any authority at all to make such a monumental decision.
As it turns out, Miller was perhaps the puppet speaking for the actual party who drafted the denial letter. Left leaning lawyers at the Justice Department Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division, were responsible for its content.
First, the EAC is supposed to be an independent federal agency. While the president is empowered to nominate commissioners for the two Democratic and two Republican commission slots, in practice the president consults with the majority leader of the Senate (Mitch McConnell) and the speaker of the House of Representatives (Paul Ryan), as well as the leaders of the minority party in both houses, to pick the nominees. Because the EAC deals with federal election administration, the legislation establishing the agency — the 2002 Help America Vote Act — was designed so as to provide the EAC with political balance and to be outside the president’s control.
This balance of power was breached, when lawyers from Obama’s D.O.J., from the exceptionally partisan Voting Section, wrote the denial letter, decimating the agency’s independence and bipartisan balance.
The Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division has become one of the most controversial and ideological components in the entire U.S. government. It is the same cadre of lawyers that dismissed a voter-intimidation charge against members of the New Black Panther Party who physically threatened voters in Philadelphia to help President Barack Obama get elected in 2008; that has waged a war on voter ID and other election-integrity measures; and that has refused to enforce the Voting Rights Act in a race-neutral manner as called for by the plain text of the statute.
Finally, the EAC reversed the decision that Alice Miller and the lawyers of the Civil Rights Division had instituted. This allowed Arizona and Kansas to include citizen verification on the forms.
Fast forward to today, as Kansas has sought to intervene in the February 12th lawsuit filed by the leftist League of Women Voters.
Kansas has asked to intervene in the case. Its pleadings make the same bombshell allegations outlined above: that partisan lawyers in the Voting Section wrote EAC policies that should have been written by the EAC, not an agency under the control of the President.
It charges that: . . . in the previous case concerning Kansas’s 2013 requested language, Kobach v. Election Assistance Commission, the United States Department of Justice drafted the response to Kansas’s 2013 request and presented that response to the States as if it were coming from the EAC itself. In effect, the Department of Justice commandeered the vacant ship that was the EAC and used that vessel to fight against the interests of the State of Kansas.
Kansas alleges that the Department of Justice “commandeered the vacant ship that was the EAC and used it to fight against the interest of the State of Kansas.” This case, Kobach v Election Assistance Commission, occurred during Erik Holder’s leadership. If this allegation is factual, than the Holder D.O.J. actively blocked Kansas from gaining EAC authorization to stipulate only citizens can register to vote.
America cannot afford to have unethical and immoral leftist in the White House anymore. They must be forced out and the House must be cleaned from top to bottom. However, knowing the unscrupulous manner in which Obama and company operate, the country must be on guard as winning is the only sacred cow for the Democrats.
