States have the right to determine who can vote in federal or local elections.
The Supreme Court is in clear violation of the Constitution here.
We are living in a lawless country folks!
In a stunning ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down an Arizona law requiring voters to present citizenship proof to register in state and federal elections.
The law clears the way to illegal alien undocumented immigrants voting in national elections without substantive means of preventing it for many states. The highest court in the land ruled 7-2 that federal law “precludes Arizona from requiring a federal form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself,” as Justice Scalia wrote. Professor Tom Caso of the Chapman University School of Law in California told the Associated Press that the decision “opened the door” to noncitizen voting.
“The court’s decision ignores the clear dictates of the Constitution in favor of bureaucratic red tape,” Caso said. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the court’s ruling.
The Constitution “authorizes states to determine the qualifications of voters in federal elections, which necessarily includes the related power to determine whether those qualifications are satisfied,” Thomas wrote in his dissent.
It will be interesting to see how the Democrats who argue that requiring proof of citizenship is a needless burden on their “vulnerable” constituents will be able to maintain that mendacious line when Obamacare documentation requirements are added to IRS reporting next year. Is that not a burden on “vulnerable” constituencies?
easy way around this. Set up road check points looking for illeagles. Its ok to do this on new years eve to look for drunk drivers who are breaking the law, why not do it for people who are breaking citizenship laws?
You’re all worthless and weak.
jeez, now even the Supreme Court is corrupted
This country is so screwed up. ILLEGÀL IMMIGRANTS can VOTE now? Ridiculous! Everyone says we can’t deport millions of illegals. Why not? If they can’t prove they are here legally deport them. Our politicians have the attitude screw legal Americans. Pander to illegals
You are incorrect. States can pass legislation allowing non-citizens voting rights, however they are still unable to vote for Federal positions. They can vote for State and Local positions, bu cannot vote for US Senators, US Representatives or President.

What date did this occur? I’ve searched and cannot find the date this decision was made. Thank you.
This whole system you Americans are enslaved to comply with is fantastico.
Your supreme court justices are clearly compromised.
After the murder of the last one they will vote for who ever
scares them the most.
If there was any time to take up arms against it is today.
The supreme court needs to removed and new constitutional judges put in place. This is against the LAW!
Stupid is as stupid does!
Federal requirements for federal forms. Big deal! What if every state came in with their own requirements for the US Postal Service, or to enlist in the armed services? That’s all Scalia & concurrences were saying.
