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?
I have been reading all the comments here from various people. Obviously everyone is very concerned about illegal immigrantion and the takeover of America by Mexico. It’s basically not a takeover, its an elimination of the middle class. In any event, this solution would have been so incredible simple years ago, but still could have a mitigating effect. This solution I am about to tell you is never mentioned, especially on the liberal media networks. It requires no wall, no beefed up border partrol, it virtually costs nothing to implement. And the good news its extremely effective. Here it is: STOP HIRING IMMIGRANTS to mow your laws, clean your houses, clean up your property, build your fence, paint your house, lay some bricks/concrete, etc. Stop patronizing immigrant businesses. They are here because gringo gives them jobs. Duh??
Ignore the courts an arrest the judges who made those illegal decisions
Paranoid freaks, the bunch of you. How can supposedly intelligent human beings fall for this conspiracy fueled garbage?
ILLEGAL immigrants can NOT vote in US elections.
Again our government shows their concerns are just for votes. They congress made a law that after nine days that immigration agency have to separate children from those that may be using these children that may have been kidnap. How ever during the June 2018 either party mention that law to the public because they needed the issue for votes. Both parties put the country our children all of us in danger just for votes. The Trump tried to get through congress to give two million Doca person for a pathway to Citizenship two and congress turn him down. Then they couldn’t come to a policy to deal with the immigration issue and all Trump was doing was following the laws they wrote then when Trump seen congress was not able to deal with the problem. he was right to act the way he did. You have to remember he has to deal with the security of our country. And as soon as he acted congress and senate blamed him for the problems they created. I believe Trump won simply because the American were or are tied of letting shows them if you don’t you throw rocs at each other. As a minster I believe when congress and the senate say’s God bless America. I believe God is blessing America Just as God wash all the evil from the world. He doing the same with America. I believe there is a great miracle about to happen for America we just have to learn to communicate with each other. It will be difficult however we must prepare for what is about to happen.
NO dates on anything in this article or the comments. What rubbish.
The Supreme Court has usurped it’s authority of the people and are not in compliance with U.S. Constitution. Perhaps they need to read the preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America and remember that our forefathers established this Constitution in order to put the authority and decision making into the hands of WE THE PEOPLE, not legislative bodies. This Constitution was established to end the reign of tyranny from dictatorships that suppress and oppress the people by not allowing them to have any say in the way their leaders should rule or the rights of the people.
WE THE PEOPLE are the voice and WE THE PEOPLE need to remind those in positions that govern us of this fact. Simply complaining on a blog or to our neighbors is not enough. WE THE PEOPLE need to be proactive and DEMAND that our leaders and justices perform accordingly and STOP acting as dictators.
This sickens me. Only Americans Citizens should be allowed to vote. this is the American Peoples fault because we do not stand up for our rights.. lazy Americans
Damn I CANT BELIEVE WHAT THE SUPREME COURT JUST DID!! They do NOT FOLLOW THE MANDATES OF THE CONSTITUTION!!
Every nation that has favored foreigners and abused and neglected its own has died, no matter who was there first. Calling citizens illegal disrespects the entire body of laws as our best defense against anarchy. Scanning ballots in anonymous for public viewing might help. They do not have to prove citizenship but the election part of the Secretary o State should be made to by a public vote ordering it.
This is the law that you’re worried about being against the Constitution, really? Really? We have a ton of laws that go against the Constitution. Hell, I’d say 2/3 of the federal govt. is a program or power that has not been given to the federal govt by the Constitution and really should be a state-level entity.
