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?
This is wrong! Illegal sliens are criminals who have invaded this country! Now they are being given rights?
States just need to thumb their noses at the supreme Court. What is scotus gonna do, arrest the governors and the national guard. Send scotus to hell where it belongs and NULLIFY.
And for all those that worship the late Justice Sclia, notice he was NOT dissenting on this decision. Scumbag.
WTF!!!! They are not citizens and have NO rights in this country.. Where the heck are they getting this from? Idiots all of them..
Once the integrity of the vote is lost, elections become meaningless.
If they ever write the rise and fall of the United States Illegal immigration will be on the top of the list of our downfall
If people break the immigration law and enter in to the United States they are not entitled to anything…
NOTHING!! They are committing a felony by breaching our border.. we need to enforce physically if necessary, the literal borders of our country. FURTHERMORE the president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has the sworn duty to uphold the laws of this land.. President OBAMA has failed miserably for 7 and 1/2 years and therefore should be impeached immediately. If Iurvoresidentcfoes not enforce the Law no one will and we are on the way to ruin.
The title “Supreme Court: States Cannot Prevent Illegal Aliens from Voting in U.S. Elections” is flat out wrong. It’s click-bait.
The supreme court didn’t say that states must allow illegals to vote. Or that states can’t prevent illegals from voting. It’s still a felony for illegals to vote in federal elections.
All they said was that states can’t require people to bring proof of citizenship to vote. As a citizen, I don’t want to have to prove I’m a citizen. I mean, if it was as easy as a fingerprint, sure. But if I have to go through a bunch of paperwork that hopefully I can find by election day to prove that I’m a citizen, I’m slightly less likely to turn up. And this slight difference in citizen turnout is the problem. In fact, it would likely turn away more US citizens that it prevents illegals from voting.
The government requires proof of citizenship for a passport, ie: a birth certificate, etc. I have a passport but if they would make the cost more reasonable and every citizen had one and you had to show it when voting like you do at the airport, that would be great as I do not believe illegals have a right to vote in this country. Why should they? Why would I want a vote in their country. I am an American and don’t want to vote anywhere else.
