A major win for voting integrity laws in the Supreme Court today will enhance the ability of all state legislatures, and further define the parameters and hurdles for lower court activists before they can rule against the rights of states to secure their elections.
The 6-3 ruling (Bryer, Sotomayor, Kagan in dissent) stems from a challenge to the 2016 Arizona election reform that banned ballot harvesting (with some exceptions) and nullified any ballot cast in the wrong precinct. Democrats and political activists argued the Arizona rules were targeted to restrict minority votes; however, the majority of the court dispatched that argument and went a step further to define how lower courts should approach claims of ‘disparate impact’.
Front row, left to right: Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer, and Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Back row, left to right: Associate Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, Associate Justice Elena Kagan, Associate Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, and Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the decision [pdf available HERE] and strongly defended the ability of states to put voting rules in place that eliminates voter fraud. Alito concluded the ruling of the majority by stating courts should look at the reason why states want to impose a particular voting rule. Wanting to prevent voter fraud is, Alito made clear, a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest.”
The result is a complete win for the State of Arizona [Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee] and a strong boost for all state legislatures who are currently in the process of creating legislation to combat the voting fraud created by excessive use of mail-in ballots, ultimately the strategy purposefully behind the creation of COVID-19.
SCOTUS BLOG – […] “The Democratic National Committee went to federal court in 2016, arguing that both restrictions violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit agreed, but the Supreme Court decided to review that decision, and on Thursday it reversed.
In his opinion, Alito observed that the Supreme Court has never weighed in on a Section 2 challenge to a law regulating the “time, place, or manner” of voting. Rather, voting-rights advocates have typically used Section 2 to bring “vote-dilution” lawsuits – challenges to redistricting maps that are alleged to dilute minorities’ voting power.
The “core” of Section 2, Alito emphasized, is the “requirement that voting be ‘equally open.’” And the determination of whether voting is “equally open” to all, he added, should be made taking all of the circumstances into account. (continue reading)
Democrats and the installed current occupant of the White House, a cognitively declining figurehead who benefited from wholesale voter fraud and mail-in ballot manipulation, are apoplectic at the decision by the supreme court. Joe Biden issued a statement criticizing the supreme court’s decision to uphold two voting restrictions in Arizona.
“I am deeply disappointed in today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court that undercuts the Voting Rights Act, and upholds what Justice Kagan called ‘a significant race-based disparity in voting opportunities,’” the installed executive decried. The people behind the installation shake their fists because the court’s decision comes as various state legislators are making it much more difficult to cheat. [White House Statement HERE]
Now lets see if the RINOs who are in position among various states actually do anything with this ruling.
Also watch to see whether this ruling has any effect on the behavior of the DOJ in trying to intimidate and punish states for following the will of their voters.
And finally, lets see how the corporate fascist thugs act as the coercive arm of the left to inflict economic oppression on states that do not comply.
It should have been a 9-0. The “if we can save one life while killing a thousand” team did not win today.
The communists are going to scream for court packing before the day is over.
Paging Robin Vos in WI, paging Robin Vos in WI . . .
Stopping voter fraud is good.
Stopping another American Coup by Election Officials is much, much better. Our very life as a Republic hinges on it and we’re teetering on the brink.
Crooked headline example from fake news’ THE HILL today:
The propaganda from the media seems never ending . . .
Operation mockingbird.
Their propaganda has been there for many years. Don’t count on them at all, see them as your enemy.
Stopping the first coup by vote fraud is what should be going on….
Great News!
This will certainly put pressure on RINO led State legislators to follow their State Laws, and the will of the electorate.
This just the ruling. The actual pressure will have to be applied by THE PEOPLE who insist that legislatures obey the ruling.
So right. Missy. We The People MUST engage locally…..every school board, every county commission, ever municipal board, etc. Support local business and activate!
We the People have a tight and a duty to throw off these usurpers and establish new governance….Restore the Republic one community at a time
Kagan never applies the Constitution, she only sees race.
Has she dated Oprah?
And you get a car!
She’s so stupid that she sees ethnicity (“Hispanic” or “Latino” ad nauseam, etc.) as race.
Critical Race Theory isn’t a class at school. It’s the driving principle behind anti-white policies by Team POC.
Its getting harder and harder to care what the Democrats say and that includes their SCOTUS judges. Everything they do or say is based solely on the gaining and holding power. I’d suggest anyone go read section 2 of the voting rights law. Its obvious intent was to prevent southern whites from gaming to the election laws to prevent minorities (read blacks) from winning elections. Now all this time later, the Democrat judges are using it to prevent the enforcement of any law that will prevent the D’s from cheating.
As for Biden, he will shout Nazi or Racist or anything else that helps his side. I don’t think “Slow Joe” has a single principle other than ” Just win baby, just win”.
Biden and his family are grifter trash.
C’mon man! They’re just humble civil servants.
He’s already told us he has the greatest election fraud team ever assembled and he doesn’t need our vote. Not that he would ever get it anyway, you dog-faced pony soldiers.
The commies will want a recount.
The mail-in ballots have not all arrived yet.
Anyone check the trunk yet?
Their still printing them up!
Surely this portends a Court that will not support an illegal
CCP coup , once that 2020 steal is proven by election audits.
As President trump said publically yesterday:
“We won.”
And of the sudits: “Watch.”
Meanwhile it is very telling to watch the hysteria of the CCP-stenographer
media and pols as the audits proceed and the Supreme Court rules that
states can act to prevent voter fraud by common sense laws.
Sundance has advised us private entities/persons, with good funding, are in the process of doing an extensive data investigation re: the election fraud, and will be announcing results. Sundance warns something big is coming.
Interesting tidbit from Page 28 in the opinion document:
“That is exactly what the en banc Ninth Circuit did here. The District Court found that among the counties that reported out-of-precinct ballots in the 2016 general election, roughly 99% of Hispanic voters, 99% of African-American voters, and 99% of Native American voters who voted on election day cast their ballots in the right precinct, while roughly 99.5% of non-minority voters did so. 329 F. Supp. 3d, at 872. Based on these statistics, the en banc Ninth Circuit concluded that “minority voters in Arizona cast [outof-precinct] ballots at twice the rate of white voters.” 948 F. 3d, at 1014; see id., at 1004–1005. This is precisely the sort of statistical manipulation that Judge Easterbrook rightly criticized, namely, 1.0 ÷ 0.5 = 2. Properly understood, the statistics show only a small disparity that provides little support for concluding that Arizona’s political processes are not equally open.”
Liberals are bad at math!
Because liberal math has no correct or incorrect answers.
The answer is whatever you want it to be.
Simple!
Facts? Facts? Gimme some feelings.
OK.
Wow, hope SCOTUS will do the same math when the cases against Pfizer, et al. on their claim on the 95% efficacy of the gene therapy vaccines. The Big Pharm used a similar kind of the manipulation.
“Liberals are bad at math”
Because math is racist!
Math is racist. Haven’t you heard?
Everything that isn’t woke is racist. Therefore, the definition of racist doesn’t mean what it did in the 60s when MLK was working on Voting Rights!
They’re bad at math. Good at winning power
Woke=lies.
They excel at lying.
“There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
My stats-101 professor used this example – which was of course interesting to a young male college student. “I have arranged for three pretty ladies to come in here. Their average age is 20.” A 59-year old grandmother and her twin 6-month old daughters. This was his introduction to the topic of “standard deviation.” (59 + 0.5 + 0.5) / 3 = 20 … but it ceases to be interesting to a horny 21-year old college student! ?
If you think they’re bad at math, they’re even worse at statistics. Edward Solomon just analyzed the data and found that the voting turned out to be a textbook election as opposed to real world. 0 standard deviations. This happens in textbooks and ideal situations but NEVER in the real world. Translation: they determined the “result” of the election and then set the machines to achieve EXACTLY the desired result!
If you want the goods, watch https://www.pscp.tv/LizHarrisMBA/1vOxwEEeAnEGB
AH,
How about you just accept that libs are amoral, lying, criminal SOBs who will stop at nothing to win, and that includes murdering babies and sexually enslaving children. We keep reading here that they “think” they are “the virtuous ones.” We, and THEY AS WELL, know that libs are depraved, dishonest, and in league with the powers of darkness and evil. David Mamet said it best, and he should know: “You have to pretend that a lot of what you actually know is not true in order to continue to support liberal beliefs.”
When the day of reckoning comes, it’s going to be damned ugly for them. Franco Spain in 1939-40 will look like a day at the beach by comparison.
Looking forward to careful forensic state audits and fair elections, which put President Trump back in the White House with hopefully Ron DeSantis as Vice President.
Afterwards, I would like to see Ron DeSantis run for president with Don Trump Jr. as his vice-president. 🙂
Is it really true – in the Constitution – that one individual can serve a maximum of 10 years as POTUS??
If so, could President Trump serve 2.5 terms?
If he isI sworn in after Jan 20, 2023.
I hope that He is the first President to be duly elected” 3 “times,since FDR…
Best to wait and see. According to the author of this article, a lot of states legalized fraud in their election rules last year.
This article uses Joe Manchin’s overt play-acting about the Democrats’ latest “voter integrity” bills to illustrate their real nefarious objectives, the voter’s realization of which Manchin is deftly trying to distract….
FTA: “The solution is to have the federal government nullify states’ election laws. The legal principle is called “pre-clearance.” It was a feature of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and it required any states that had been accused of systematic racism in their voter laws to submit all laws to the Department of Justice for approval. So the federal bureaucracy, not the citizens or their elected representatives, got to decide what became an election law and what didn’t.“

You should wait and compare TDS with DDS.
So far I see no DDS, just saying…
When the Maricopa County (America’s) audit is complete, remember these names ; Christina Bobb, and Chanel Rion! Both OANN personalities who seem to have contributed in the rescue of our Republic! Ms. Bobb’s bio is quite impressive indeed.
Pres Trump sure seems to have noticed. Christina Bobb got the exclusive yesterday by virtue of being there –
“President Trump speaks to OAN after holding roundtable on border” 5:27
https://rumble.com/vjasxn-president-trump-speaks-to-oan-after-holding-roundtable-on-border.html
Yes. They’ve been digging deep, asking the right questions, and interviewing the people who know what’s going on.
Sadly, only those who already have a pretty good idea of what’s happening will be watching OANN, but at least the info is “on the record,” thanks to a handful of intrepid journalists.
These personalities are great. But the real heroes are in the Senate. At great risk to themselves from the Democrat mafia they are seeing the audit through.
I hope that everyone here is donating to the audit completion. It’s funded by private money, except for the measly $150,000 from the MCBOS.
Ronna Delecto is not covering the tab?
Love both those ladies!
Rest assured, the democrat brain trust, as small as it is, will soon be looking at other ways to cheat. Without voter fraud, democrats will never win elections, at any level. Corruption, power and control will force democrats, to continue cheating.
Tragically, they no longer have to cheat. Millions of new voters pouring over the border since Bidung took office till late 2022 mid terms plus Democommunists leaving their schiffholes for red states.
“ Millions of new voters pouring(sic) over the border…”
Where is Nimrod when you need a spell check? ?
Stopping voter fraud is “a strong and entirely legitimate state interest.”
And President Trump is our legitimate re-elected, President-
As legitimate state election audits will prove.
CCP, and CCP media-front-persons, hardest hit. Watch their faces
as justice unfolds.
A major sting. Cameras placed in the right areas early on and especially in swing states.
Racists arguments by Supreme Court Justices. A non-white person does not have the ability to do what a white person can do. And that applies to ALL non-whites and ALL whites.
‘The soft bigotry of lowered expectations’
Justice Kagan’s bitter tears cannot wash away the black letter of the law. State Legislatures have plenary power to determine “time, place, or manner”.
I just love it when the DNC face plants!
Have compassion for the Wide Latina too, or is that Latinx now ?
LatinXL…
LatinXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL ?
Latinlardchonker!
Hard to tell with her.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has always salivated at the thought of removing plenary powers granted to the other 2 branches of government.
For example, the Judicial Branch is suppose to leave immigration issues to the Executive and Legislative Branch yet they continually intrude into immigration issues despite not being elected to do so in the first place.
The citizenry elect representatives to deal with immigration issues in our country not judges yet no current judge is willing to respect the constitutional separation of powers when it involves immigration issues.
All these disrespectful judges would have been successfully impeached and convicted if we had a functional Congress that remembered the fact that the Legislative Branch is suppose to be a check on the Judicial Branch .
Whether Republican or Democrat, every false/illegal vote cancels a valid US citizens vote.
This SC ruling emphasizes States Rights in elections. Which is why Biden is against it.
They cannot hold it together much longer.
I think this is an important point by Alito: “The ‘mere fact there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity to vote. The size of any disparity matters.’”
He also suggests, some of the factors that lower courts have considered are less helpful in these cases. And the disparate-impact model from employment-discrimination and fair-housing cases are not helpful. [SCOTUSBLOG]
The Dems love the “disparate impact” argument/test. If some law, however race-neutral on its face, appears to have a detrimental effect on minorities more than whites, it probably is discriminatory. This argument has been used in school discipline cases (DOJ forces district into a “consent decree”), criminal sentencing (more blacks use crack than cocaine, and crack has/had more severe penalties), and such.
Alito appears to say that the disparate impact test should not be used by lower courts in 1965 Voting Rights Act cases. Good. The test often includes stereotypes such as how hard it is for minorities to get birth certificates for voter ID (were they all born in a backwoods cabin and delivered by an illiterate midwife who didn’t file a birth certificate?)
The DOJ case against Georgia relies heavily on the “effect” of the Georgia law. It also claims that the purpose of the laws was to disenfranchise minorities, but its proof of the “purpose” is the “effect.” The results prove the bias. This opinion basically rejects this argument.
And if you wondered if the unfairness of the effect or results sounded familiar…Ding!…Ding!…Ding! You guessed it! It’s EQUITY!
<an important point by Alito: “The ‘mere fact there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity to vote. The size of any disparity matters.’”>
Suggested headline for the Babylon Bee –
Alito Rules that Size Matters
I’ve defended more than a dozen civil rights lawsuits, on behalf of employers, with disparate impact allegations.
Sometimes there is valid evidence of disparate treatment, and when there is, the situation gets fixed.
In the majority of the cases I defended, the numbers did not add up to prove the claim. Sure, some people were adversely affected by decisions or policies, but not enough to be actionable.
SCOTUS did a huge favor to employers with this ruling, in addition to helping the nation survive.
… and per paragraph (E): The state has a compelling interest to determine who is eligible to vote so as to minimize the opportunity for election fraud. This is what the Democrats are zeroing in on: the state’s constitutional power to determine the manner in which elections are conducted. They needed this case to go the other way so they can install the DoJ Civil Rights Divisions as rule makers for all 50 states.
The reapportionment after the 2020 census may bring this issue up to the Court. In 2018, the Dems filed suit in PA state court saying the 2010 reapportionment for congressional districts did not meet the state constitution’s equivalent of the US’ equal protection clause. The Dem-dominated PA supreme court ordered the state to reapportion. The legislature did this, but the court rejected their plan, and assigned the re-apportionment to a panel of “experts.” The new map redrew GOP-heavy districts to bring in Dem areas to dilute the GOP vote. The legislature appealed to SCOTUS, arguing the US Constitution gave the legislature sole authority over re-apportionment, and the US Constitution controlled, not the PA. Cert was denied. (RBG and Kennedy were still on the Court). The re-drawn districts helped the Dem capture more House seats, and the House itself.
I expect this to happen again, with the GOP in control of the state legislature and the state supreme court still dominated by Dems. It may happen in other states, too.
The premise was obscene: that only a person who looks like me can represent me.
Astute comment…My thoughts exactly. Tnis stabs right through the heart of the CRT theory as well.
But…. minorities don’t know how to use the mail or make their way to their own precinct.
What are they going to do if we don’t vote for all of them? 😉
If minorities are incapable or lack the knowledge of the voting processes, how did Barack Obama get elected ?!
Machines.
No accent.
Minority voter apathy in past elections was always the main reason for low turnout. A small very dedicated group of rather nasty community organizers/agitators always look for and exploit scapegoats to rationalize perceived injustices and failures. B O got elected by a devilishly crafty combination of race hustling victim hood B S and plenty..and I mean plenty of soros walking around money $$$$ gleefully distributed by the preachers from the A M E churches. Which by the way indulge in political electioneering and dirty tricks every election cycle. Congressman Jim Clyburn of S C comes to mind. He is a master at corkscrewing backstabbing and double dealing. A real power player..for now.
He’s “Clean and Well Spoken” per crazy uncle joe.
Racist White people voted for Obama.
Good question. It couldn’t possibly have been by the White Supremacist majority in this nation, given all that Systemic Racism sloshing around…..
PA just passed out IDs and buses and with help of judges to get anyone and everyone to the polls
Do you really think they are sooo dumb???
Biden didn’t write that!!!
It was Barack Obama & permanent house guest Valerie Jarrett.
In Az before the law I remember it being so bad that open border groups like Puentes AZ would show up with trunk loads full of ballots to hand in. My son and I actually got into a big confrontation with the leader of the La Puentes fraud group (agitator) while standing in line outside the very first Trump rally (Phoenix). Fraud prevention laws should be GOP priority #1.
I remember articles about people being confronted who were carrying in boxes of ballots and dropping them off in AZ in 2016. It was usually a goon bringing them in though, so most people didn’t really want to mess with them. They just took pix and shared them with anyone who would listen.
Yep…Another reason why people should organize before the next election.
Desperate democrats pulled all the stops depriving Americans of a free & fair election last year, completely exposing themselves & their modus operandi and now the eyes of the entire world are on them.
Stolen Elections Have Consequences.
So do President Trump’s judicial appointees. Consequences with a long life.
Conservatives should stop their donations to both the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society because their “secret methods” of creating lists of candidates for empty judge seats have been shown to be extremely flawed and dare I say, nefarious, if you take a look at the bigger picture.
After all, the Federalist Society used to brag about John Roberts until his Obamacare ruling.
There is no race based disparity in voting opportunities. No matter where you live in this country your race is not a barrier to voting. This is about creating special opportunities based on race.
It’s about election fraud. The Dems can’t win without it.
Will wonders never cease! John Roberts did not side with the liberals.
Once there is a five-person majority, he will often jump in. He’s spineless, and dislikes being the swing vote, but if his vote is not critical, he tends to go with the majority, if only because as CJ, he has seniority over everyone, and thus can write the majority opinion or assign it.
John Robert? a sham profile in courage that one. An eminent legal scholar well versed in the arts of deception and skulduggery. You would think by the time they reach the highest court in the land these political whores on the left would maintain some modicum of integrity. But alas that doesn’t appear to be the case. Justice Scalia on the other hand was
a true adherent to the rule of law who actually believed in the words of the Constitution and that got him…whacked. So many cowards..so little time.
Thomas should have been the CJ…I never understood why Robert’s was made CJ. Too young, not enough experience, etc. Stinks to high heaven.
Bush made Roberts Chief Justice beecause he didn’t want to fight the Democrat Senators to make Scalia CJ. In fact, that’s why he chose Roberts, the Democrats (not all of them, but enough) told Bush they would accept Roberts because he wasn’t “Too right wing”. Bottom line: Bush didn’t want to fight the D’s over SCOTUS judges. We got Alioto becausse he replaced Renquist and we had 55 R Senators.
He saw that it would pass anyway and decided to be on the winning side.
I find it ironic that the Bush presidents nominated the 2 most conservative justices, Thomas and Alito. They want a do over I’m sure.
Thomas and Alito..unlikely heroes in the battle for the soul of America. Good to see a 6 to 3 vote maybe there is still hope for the rule of law.
maybe ..he seen some pictureS….from GUANTANAMO….
Its was a “make up” call. Just to keep us hoping he’s conservative.
So this is a case where Judas, bought-and-paid-for Chief Justice Roberts pretends to be on the right side of an issue. When the chips are down and the Deep State needs his vote, though, we know they still have Roberts in their pocket.
It was safe, because it was going to be a win with or without him. He has to pretend once in awhile when it matters the least.
Roberts was in the majority because his vote wasn’t needed. If it had been 4-4, who knows how he would’ve voted. That’s his pattern, he’s a stealth Liberal. If its an important decision and 4-4, he’ll usually vote Left. If its 5-3 Conservative, he’ll often join in, just to prove he’s “Conservative”. Or if its some minor matter he’ll vote the conservative side.
Can you imagine just how despicable, evil and the pure hatred of this country from those who would NOT want to allow states the right to implement voter rules that help eliminate obvious election fraud?
Don’t have to imagine…
We see their conduct every day.
Hallelujah!
I want Touch And Sniff Joe to cite 1 case where a minority was denied an opportunity to vote. OK -he cant cite whats written on his mail order genius pills but that dosnt matter. I want documented evidence of minorities not being able to vote. Oh wait I got one: a few years back the New Black Panthers Supremacists Thugs in Philly were intimidating minority voters right out side the polling station. No outrage by the Demonic Pedo Dems.
In an election where 150,000 allegedly voted, I want him to cite 150 confirmed cases of voters rights being denied, or, 0.1%.
Then I want to know why all 150 aren’t already in court filings before now.
Trump’s team totally failed him including Brad Parscales. It was very obvious that the Dems were implementing a plan to steal the vote via various unconstitutional state measure and use of Zuckerberg’s interference. There should have been retained attorneys in every state filing complaints etc when such measures were obvious. Why is Trump’s own election team never blamed especially Parscales? Does anyone know?
Parscales was fired as the Trump Campaign Manager in July of 2020.
Parscale had a nervous breakdown
He did a crappy job the whole time.
I don’t think Patrick Byrne avoided that topic. He now has all of his notes assembled and published in his book – “Deep Rig: How Election Fraud Cost Donald J. Trump the White House, By a Man Who did not Vote for Him.”
Dorthea Brooke, the Democrats ran an absolutely brilliant psyops-driven election campaign by nominating the two weakest candidates any major party ever ran for president and vice president.
After all, neither Biden nor Harris would ever be making any of the key decisions a president and vice-president are expected to make. A committee of White House staffers would be making all the key decisions with little or no input from either the president or the vice-president.
The Democratic Party’s behind-the-scenes operational leadership knew they had 70 million (+/-) sure votes from committed Democrats regardless of who they nominated, and without even running what we would consider to be a true presidential campaign. The Democrats also knew they had an exceptionally well prepared election fraud team which could pull the election out for whomever they nominated regardless of what Trump’s margin might be.
So why not run a team of candidates like Biden-Harris who have every appearance of being losers, thereby suckering the Republicans into thinking it would be hard for Trump to lose? In a real sense, they did to Trump in 2020 what he did to them in 2016.
As psyops-based deception campaigns go, what the Democrats did in 2020 was highly effective. All of Trump’s advisors, and even Trump himself, were taken in by it — to the extent that no preparations whatsoever were made prior to the election to deal with the massive vote fraud which occurred on November 3rd and 4th.
“ All of Trump’s advisors, and even Trump himself, were taken in by it — to the extent that no preparations whatsoever were made prior to the election…”
Except for this head fake, you exhibit keen wit, BW.
I know, but even I had heard what the “Election Integrity Project” was. Steve Bannon reported on it all summer.It was the plan put into place by Mark Elias and Perkins-Coie (?) law firm.
Pascale was smart, but addicted to fame and money. Oobach would have been ideal to do this, but McConnell hates him, and wouldn’t let him anywhere near this.
It also would have to be done state by state, because of the rightful limitations on vote matters. The feds actually have very little jurisdiction on elections.
Double-edged sword.
Then it should have been attended to state by state. It was pure sloppiness. There could have been one pro-Trump attorney IN EACH STATE monitoring the changes being implemented and challenging them as they were attempted.
“ Trump’s team totally failed him including Brad Parscales.”
Lesson learned: never hire a white-knuckled drunk for any serious political purpose.
So three of the Supreme Court justices do not think that the states have a legitimate interest in the integrity of elections.
Regardless of what else is going on in the big picture, that is enough to make my skin crawl.
It’s obviously a timely, important, and significant win.
At least it was three & not six.
This is a huge win for The Republic.
Do the three ever waiver? No. Solid. Always solid. There are no DINOs, only RINOs.
“ Do the three ever waiver?”
Grrr…bad English is causing this Grammar NAZI to become vexed. ?
Party discipline being what it is, they would need a waiver to waver.
Well, the states have a legitimate interest, according to the three, but raaaacism is more important than the constitutional separation of powers.
Sort of like the medical “experts” last summer, who said groupings in churches, theatres, restaurants, and motorcycle rallies in Sturgis, SD, should be banned because of the risk of COVID…but BLM marches (looting, vandalism, arson…) of the same or larger size could go on because racial injustice was more important that disease prevention.
Did anyone ever see any statistics on the transmission of COVID in all those BLM activities the same way the experts were speculating on how many people were infected in Sturgis or at a GOP rally? No, I thought not.
Dude, the 4 liberals (now 3 after ruth b. Ginsberg died) showed time and time again, they will vote the Leftwing position no matter what. They’re just as leftwing as the 9th circuit. The Republican Justices have judicial principles and will regularly vote the Leftwing position on 5-4 decisions. Not because its leftwing but because they think the law/constitiution is on that side. The 3 democrats (and RGB was no better) NEVER give the conservative side a 5-4 win. NEVER. Their judicial principles flip from one thing to another, their only consistency is their support for the Leftwing postition.
I wonder if AG Barr is upset with this ruling?
Right now Mr.Bapiper ….got to worry about other essentials…..
You misspelled BAG Barr.
Bogey,
Are you kidding? Have you forgotten that the reason Lon Horiuchi, that nursing-mother murdering scumbag, is not in jail today is because of that lying, unscrupulous, corrupt fat bastard?
Barr better like it hot because he’s going someplace where it’s going to be hotter than he could imagine.
Do not act like the Supreme Court are heroes with this ruling because the Supreme Court was utterly corrupt and cowardly when it came time to hear cases involving the 2020 Presidential Election as the court simply dismissed all the election cases and handed the country over to a Chinese asset.
If there was any hero on the Supreme Court, he or she would have been a whistleblower by now and reveal all the wrongdoings committed by the Supreme Court and even force Chief Justice John Roberts to resign.
Redlion, you are absolutely correct. Other than Thomas and Alito, who — guess what — actually read, understand and follow the constitution and their oaths of office consistently, SCOTUS is, at best , a mixed bag. Just because they get some things right gains them no favor in my book. A friend of mine used to say “you don’t get to preen for going thru a green light”.
Between their refusal to hear 2020 election cases, Gorsuch’s “legislator in a robe” vote in Bostock, Kavanaugh’s incoherent vote in this week’s eviction moratorium case, plus a host of others, the four alleged “conservative” justices are anything but. They’re part of the swamp.
I can hardly wait to see the results of the 2A case scheduled for next term. I’m already nervous.
Barbara,
With regards to SCOTUS, I would be honored to shake Clarence Thomas’s hand. I would gladly shake Justice Alito’s. Kavanaugh, Barrett and Gorsuch I would sternly chastise, I would call Roberts’ ancestry, honesty and intellect into serious question, and the other three would be told I wished them dead and in Hell where they most deservedly belong.
Ba BOOM! Dominos falling. 🙂
of course sotomayor and kagan the radical lefties!!
these 2 are good reason for judicial term limits!!
The left has no use for such outdated concepts as integrity honor or the rule of law. No S C justice nominee ever offered up by the democrats was ever anything but a political hack. They should be ashamed to rule on anything. But shame along with integrity and honor is yet another concept that is foreign to their obstinate nature.
Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan all know they can never align themselves with any ruling that aims to prevent voter fraud. Leftist rubber stampers. I highly doubt they even read the law before dissenting.
Not a lawyer but Kagan’s dissent was a lot of spaghetti and meatballs thrown against a wall in the hope that some/any of it will be used in a future election fraud case brought before the courts.
She cited Dred Scott. Yes, compare the legal effect of not being able to ballot harvest with slavery. No hyperbole here.
Most likely written by Lawfare.
Biden didn’t write that WH statement…we allllllll know it. “This is our life’s work and the work of all of us. Democracy is on the line. We can do this together.” says the fraudulently installed current WH occupant’s parsal-tongued speech writer…hmmmm “our life’s work…together” tells it all. Hate it for ya Joe-Joe…hang on tight buddy: there’s more to come!!
SCOTUS could have slammed the door shut on the inevitable future law suits filed against states who will be amending their election laws. All they had to state in their ruling is what disparate impact can be identified if a person shows up to vote the day after the election and cannot — obviously — cast a ballot and thereby exercise his right to vote under the VRA. In other words, separate the state’s ability to determine who is eligible to vote (along with time frame in which is allotted) from voter suppression.
While several months too late, could this be a signal to the assured Lawfare legal challenges of AZ audit? Maybe the several nincimpoops have come to realize we ain’t going away and if they want to be a good part of history they may want to rectify their position. And maybe getting a spine from threatened court packing. Also, maybe they realize they may be the way forward for a possible peaceful resolution to their earlier traitorous actions.
Of course, I must also realize it might just be a juicy bone thrown.
If they send the 3 dissenters votes thru twice more, they won’t need to pack the court.
It’s nice to see every justice look at he camera.
One question I have is that since this is related to reforms passed in 2016, would it then uphold retroactively the nullification of any ballot harvesting done in AZ in 2020?
There would have to be a way of telling whether the ballot came in from a family member or a ballot harvester to separate them out.
I’m not a lawyer (I has morals.). But WTH, I’ll take a shot.
Sometimes cases are stayed until a related, similar decision is resolved.
If the ballot harvesting case was decided, then this opinion provides possible grounds for appeal.
As it relates to the election audit, the auditors could state that harvested ballots should not have been counted and present results which isolate their impact upon the election tallies.
As such, the legislature could possibly revoke the states delegate endorsement – perhaps? maybe? dunno.
Conceivably, if fraud were shown, the legislature could impeach any official selected in that election – ymmv based on the laws of a particular state.
You present an interesting conjecture. It remains to be seen whether the several states will assert their lawful prerogatives.
This is why I like the CTH. Many independent-minded individuals post here and faint threads of dissent are thereby brought into sharp focus.
“Baby El” will be placed on my short list of insightful commenters.
Good to hear!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice beginning.
And looking at the argument which Dems made is not surprising, and it needs to be addressed since it’s the big problem.
Where can I request Stephen Miller go after the heart of the fake and now hilariously failed argument that they’re still using: “protecting votes disparately affects minorities.”
YEAH, IT DISENFRANCHISES MINORITIES “DISPARATELY.” WE’RE THE TESTING GROUND FOR VOTE STEALING. WE ARE GROUND ZERO FOR DEM VOTER FRAUD, NOW SPREAD EVERYWHERE BY THE UNIFRAUD.
Can Republiclowns grab a spine and go after the fact that for 100 YEARS voter FRAUD, ballot stuffing and Ruby Freeman operations have CENTERED on minority areas?
CAN WE PLEASE GO TO THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM, THAT MINORITIES ARE THE DEM VOTELESS SLAVES?
Can we get some civil rights MLK inspired lawyers to go after the heart of the fact which is that every city is a potholed, broken windowed, blown out 3rd world ghetto now because of the argument they just made to Supreme Court and use every time, THEY ARGUE THEY CAN KEEP OUR VOTES THE MOST INSECURE, THE MOST THIEVABLE, THE MOST STUFFABLE OF ALL.
We are always PAWNS in their attacks on America.
But anyway, HURRAH FOR THE WIN AZ! A win is a win is a win. Keep up the momentum.
Now that the bad Orange Man is no longer in the White House, it is all hands in deck to bring everything back to the “normal”, you win a few, I win few, we tie sometimes…and everybody gets paid for the effort.
The “normal” is required to re-extend the walls and curtains of la la land.
While one battalion distracts with pushing against fraud mitigation by known standards, another, larger group is quietly working in the background, and have been for some time, on the next methods of defrauding the American public at the ballot box. Remember, their kind writes the laws so they can work all kinds of arcane and obscure loopholes into them, and have been for a long, long time.
It was Trump’s immense popularity that pushed their operation into the public domain; now they’ll tie it off and use it for as much a distraction as possible. It ain’t over yet, not by a long shot. As others have opined, trillions are at stake….and the Communists have very deep pockets.
Better late than never, but not by much.
“Despise not the day of small beginnings.”
Of course the Usurper is apoplectic about the decision. If new laws restrict illegal voting/ballot manipulation, then that is arguably about half of his “voting base” gone up in flames right there. If Joe and “Dr.” Jill have to leave government, then the alternative is to find honest work or live off past graft. Under those circumstances, if you were a hair-sniffing, influence-peddling, coup-instigating grifter, you’d be pissed too!
Until they get rid of the easily manipulated voting machines, it won’t matter.
Glad to see the SC decided to uphold the Constitution this time.
It also sounded to me like the AZ audit uncovered serious problems with ballot harvesting and illegally cast votes. They’ve mentioned that this specific ruling would have a big impact on their report.
That address which submitted 50+ ballots has come up many times, and they probably have a vast number of those problems since the core of the election fraud was fraudulent mail- in ballots.
It’s also why the CO Secy of State banned citizens from reviewing those ballots.
Everyone now knows how the fraud was done. This ruling makes it easier now for AZ to go to those ballot mules and drop offs and show that those votes – probably tens of thousands or more for Biden – are illegal.
Interesting comment.
Perhaps the AZ audit and this Supreme Court decision goes hand in hand? ?
I know that the audit team has stated many times in the past 6 weeks that the SCOTUS decision would directly impact their results. I believe that to mean they have found a lot of illegal ballots.
It’s also why they haven’t reported any results. If SCOTUS rules the other way, and overturns AZ election law, then all the illegal ballots become legal.
Trump probably winds up winning AZ by a couple hundred thousand votes.
Always the same three eager to throw America and Americans under the bus!
“The 6-3 ruling (Bryer, Sotomayor, Kagan in dissent)”
Ginsburg and Merrick Garland would have been five Tribesmen out of eight when they represent about 2% of the population. Understand, that Ginsburg wrote a decision ordering the New York City Fire Department to hire from the bottom scores of a dumbed down applicant test to make the NYFD workforce represent the demographic population of New York City. Funny how they make rulings for others and ignore those same rulings for themselves!
Do those three ever vote outside of their box?
Let’s please just keep one thing straight: “Election Fraud” is a felony crime which causes “every legal voter everywhere” to become a plaintiff. No “Voting Rights Act” should be construed in any way that makes it easier to commit this felony.
P.S.: Apparently unlike certain plaintiffs, I have great confidence in the intelligence and resourcefulness of “minorities” who wish to vote to figure out how to do so correctly – and to do so correctly. It is frankly irritating to me, and certainly both condescending and insulting to them, to “call them stupid,” such that some beneficent state authority must now bend over backwards to “accommodate their assumed stupidity.” I really do think that “American Indians, Hispanics, and African-Americans” really do have a brain that actually works. And they are or should be entitled not to be “spoken down to.”
