The Phantom of the Courthouse: Judge Rules Against Voter Rule

Timothy Birdnow

A federal judge has blockeda Trump order to require proof of citizenship to vote.

Once again an activist in unfashionable evening wear has stuck her nose where it does not belong and has written law for the whole country.

This judge - and the states attorneys general who brought the suit - have shown exactly who they are and what they believe. It isn't about "one man, one vote" or have anything to do with "democracy". Not checking a person's qualifications to vote is vote theft and this is nothing but a massive power grab.

We all know it.

More and more the Left has to show it's cards to the American People. In bygone days they would have done this but we would have heard little to nothing about it, and what we heard would havebeen sanitized. Now they have to be quite open about what they are doing. America elected Trump to clean up the illegal alien mess Joe Biden made and everyone will see they are thwarting the will of the People and undermining our rights as Americans.

Trumps e.o. said states would have to check immigration status when new voters register, and that failing to do so would lead to cuts in federal funding.

The AGs argued "usurps the States’ constitutional power and seeks to amend election law by fiat.”

It in no way usurps anything. There is no constitutional requirement for the Federal government to give out money to states for any reason. If this matters so much to these states they would eat the cost themselves.

The article states:

Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday's order that the states had a likelihood of success as to their legal challenges.

"The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” Casper wrote.

Casper also noted that, when it comes to citizenship, "there is no dispute (nor could there be) that U.S. citizenship is required to vote in federal elections and the federal voter registration forms require attestation of citizenship.”

Casper cited arguments made by the states that the requirements would "burden the States with significant efforts and substantial costs” to update procedures.

So she admits that what Trump was trying to do was ENFORCE existing law, yet she rules against him anyway.

Our friendly ghost judge Casper complains of "undue burdens" yet has no problem with unduly burdoning Amerians by diluting their legal votes. And she also fails to see the distinciton between putting a qualification on a grant and restricting the freedom of the states.

Perhaps she has forgotten the 55 mile per hour speed limit,which was not a law exactly butwhich cut off highway funding for states that did not impose it. Or maybe she has forgotten the blood alcohol level restrictions. Here in Missouri it used to be 1.5% but the federal government made Missouri reduce it, first to 1% and now I believe it's .08%. Again,this was doneby threatening to cut off funding. Seat belts were imposed on my home state thisway too.

so don't tell me about "constitutional authority" and "undue burdons"; we've had them all along.
