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?

The Supreme Court affirms the right of states to determine eligibility criteria for voting. Was is this an example of? Isn’t it “states’ rights? What happened? I thought this was the holy grail.
That’s a crock of s**t! That’s cause the Supreme Court is full of liberals! You are sickening you make Americans jump through hoops to vote, but illegal boarder hopers and do what they want. We have become a third world country and native born Christians have no rights anyone.
If you are one that believes the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of what is lawful and constitutional, then you have believed a lie and a myth that Jefferson warned about. The States still retain their rights to this day to defy the federal judiciary, which has become an oligarcy. We just need strong statesmen as governors and legislatures to make that stand!
In writing to William Jarvis, Jefferson said, “You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”
The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary; an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped.”

You are correct ! The US Congress ( Legislature ) or We The People are the final ARBITER of what is Lawful and constitutional in the US of A . The problem is We The People have strayed from the US Constitution and the Founding Father’s intent by allowing judges to make law from the bench . The US Supreme Court Nine justices is/are suppose to interpret US Constitutional law and NOT make law . An Opinion is just that opinion everyone has one but an ” OPINION” from the US Supreme Court is somehow Law ?
Why is the Supreme Court not obeying/honoring their oath of office? They are corrupt, being bought, or members of the Clinton Foundation and being threatened by Obama. They NEED to read the law and re-evaluate their decision. Stop being an ostrich or get fired by the people.
We have so much riding on this election, it is literally the difference between life or death for the survival of Americans. yet we can t even keep it a fair contest because of stupid
liberals
The Supreme Court should be abolished if they allow BS such as this to be carried out
How old is this? We haven’t had nine justices in months.
The Constitution gives the states the right to deal with things that it doesn’t touch upon, just like it give us the right to disobey unlawful orders. I hope the states deal with illegal voter the way they want to, not the way they ate told to.
It honestly doesn’t matter if illegals and prisoner get to cast a ballot. Their votes already count just as much as ours. They are counted for the electoral college. That is what decides how many delegates each state gets. As we all know now, (hopefully before now as well) the delegates are the deciding vote. They already get to vote. It is a red herring to keep us looking over this way or that while they destroy our nation. We need to demand that only eligible voters are counted for the EC.
