Am I living in some sort of alternate universe? I seem to remember not so long ago the United States Supreme Court rules that district judges could not impose nation-wide edicts on the President. Also, the Supreme Court just ruled yet again that judges have very limited power over immigration law enforcement.

This judge has simply ignored the Court and is making her own law.

Her argument is that Trump has no authority over election laws. She simply ignores the fact this isn't so much about election law as it is about illegal immigration and Trump has supreme authority over that. She knows it too.

Naturally she is an Obama appointee.

BREAKING: Boston-based federal judge Denise Casper (Obama appointee) has just issued a sweeping order that bans the Trump administration from implementing most of its federal voter ID executive orders, including a proof of citizenship requirement. Judge Casper concluded the Constitution "does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”

DOJ expected to quickly appeal.

Bear in mind Trump is not tampering with how elections are run in any states; he is merely requiring states to implement proof of citizenship rules when registering someone to vote. NOT when they vote, when they register. This is an immigration matter, even if it is upending the vote fraud scheme of the Demo-left.

That is, of course, the real reason this puta has issued this order. She wants vote fraud as do most Democrats. Personally, I believe this country would have a solid Republican majority if we haven't been treated to massive cheating over the years. I think the Democrats know it too.

This is another case that could wind up at the Supreme Court. Hopefully the Court will spank her bottom raw (given the proclivity of many Democrats she might like that, but I digress.)

Remember, Trump is not making any sort of new rule for the states so much as simply demanding they enforce rules that are already part of federal law. It is illegal by law for non-citizens to vote in elections. Trump is just asking that voters prove they are citizens, or at least have some form of I.D. when voting. Trumps EO is not making laws but rather enforcing them.

There are all sorts of laws on the books that the Federal government enforces. We all know about the Fair Housing Act, or the Civil Rights Act.Every parking lot has a reserved spot or two for handicapped people. All states have an intoxication level set at 1.0 or less (I remember when Missouri had a 1.5 level but the Feds made them drop it). The 55 mph speed limit was stupid but it was forced by the Feds, as is the 70 mph speed limit now. The Feds enforce Federal laws and impose changes in how states do things (and often what they do) all the time.

So why can the federal government make states set speed limits but not make states enforce the law where voting is concerned?

If the central government has no right to make people prove their qualifications to vote why, pray tell, does the IRS do that to us every year? This judge's ruling should invalidate the right of the IRS to collect information on taxpayers.

I suspect Trump will win on appeal. This is just another monkey wrench thrown into the machinery to gum up the works.
