Supreme Court delivers major blow to Dems’ campaign
against state election laws

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 7/1/2021 11:37:40 PM

On the last day before its summer recess, the Supreme Court upheld two Arizona voting provisions that Democrats and civil rights groups challenged as disproportionately burdening minority voters. The vote was 6-3, with only the three hardcore liberals dissenting. Justice Alito wrote the opinion. That’s always a great sign. Amy Howe at Scotusblog observes that the decision “will make it more difficult to contest election regulations under the Voting Rights Act.” That’s probably an understatement. The motion to dismiss Kristen Clarke’s suit challenging Georgia’s election law will all but write itself now. The majority opinion found that the “core” of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act,

The biggest news on this one is the affirmation of the section of the law that outlaws ballot harvesting. This is the tactic used by liberals all over the country to steal elections from the local level upwards. Nursing homes are a particular favorite of this tactic where liberals vote for their residents en masse. 2018 and 2020 saw this extensively all over the country; the amazing flip of a bunch of GOP seats in California was largely attributed to ballot harvesting in 2018.

Good news, but laws have to be enforced and Dems never worry about laws.

Yes, this is good news finally from the Supine Court. Unfortunately it's too little and too late. They allowed the steal to be completed, and worse, they disallowed all legitimate challenges and audits. And while it's good that ballot harvesting has effectively been blocked, it isn't the most serious of the problems. Namely, unrestricted mail in voting and extended advance voting are. They are the principal methods for mass cheating and the Democrats are desperately trying to implement and lock in those methods everywhere. Voting integrity does not exist anywhere that those methods are in place.

What makes anyone think that the snaked-eyed Marxists care about voting laws or that the Supreme Court will act if laws are subsequently violated?

Well... what can one say... OMG... the supremes followed the constitution... now there's a surprise....will the courts follow the ruling?... we'll see....democrat judges are not for the people most of the time... so I guess it's a wait and see...one need only look at the rulings coming out of New York against the Trump business manager to see... how biased and unfair the judges can be... I think General Flynn learned that the hard way....BTW... what ever happened to his lawyer Sidney Powell (?)...

SCOTUS was absolutely correct in its decision. Unfortunately the decision only reinforces the Democrats' desire to stack the court. To make sure that such decisions don't occur in the future the magic number of additional leftist judges to be added to the court is six. 2022 midterm is crucial to reverse the majority in the House, and add to the majority in the Senate, to make sure that such legislation does not pass go.

Democrats know (and therefore fear and dread) that the reasoning and text in this SC opinion broadly apply to many other state enacted (and yet to be enacted) voting regulations throughout the United States. They know, applying this SC opinion, most, if not all, if these regulations will pass muster under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended. Therefore they know that this SC opinion is a tremendous impediment to their envisioned future attempts to steal elections. Democrats also know that their only viable option is to amend this Act to thereby nullify this SC opinion, and President Biden has already publicly implored Congress to amend this Act.

I am old enough to remember when the Department of Justice respected the decisions of the Court and saw to it they were enforced. Now Sour-Grapes Garland is passing judgment on this decision as though he were the authority. And the rest of the Left is throwing a full frontal fecal fit.

Ohio GOP attorney general prevails in lawsuit alleging

A federal judge has ruled that a provision in President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 relief bill limiting state tax cuts is unconstitutional, handing a victory to Republicans. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost had filed a federal lawsuit against the Treasury Department and its secretary, Janet Yellen, alleging that a provision in the $1.9 trillion Democratic spending package that prohibits states from using relief funds to offset tax cuts or credits “directly or indirectly” is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Douglas Cole issued the permanent injunction against what Yost dubbed the “tax mandate” on Thursday, ruling that the provision exceeds the federal government’s power over states. “The federal government has to stay in their lane,

Three days ago, there was a New York Times opinion piece defending Kamala Harris and the job she was doing. Two days ago, there was a hit piece on her office management skills and her general unpreparedness from POLITICO. I covered both because it looked like something was shaping up behind the scenes. Right now, Joe Biden doesn’t know if he is running for re-election in 2024. In March, he did say he expects to run, but his public appearances aren’t getting any better, and there is still a lot of whispering going on behind the scenes as to whether or not he will actually be able to.

If someone inside the American media elite were tapped to deliver a State of the Media address in front of a distinguished audience, they would not be able to claim that their position is strong, stronger than ever. Sadly, a new survey by the Reuters Institute found the United States ranks last in media trust — at 29 percent -- among 92,000 news consumers surveyed in 46 countries. There are several easy answers for why this is true. But the most obvious one is the media's dramatic tilt to one side of the political argument. For many years,

On Kamala Harris, looks like some sort of salvage operation has begun for this Biden administration shipwreck. That's evident enough in two stories from swamp-beltway media, using named and unnamed sources, both of which say the same thing: There's Axios: Top White House officials are mobilizing to defend Vice President Kamala Harris amid a gusher of leaks about dysfunction and infighting in her office. Driving the news: White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told Axios in a statement: "The President's trust and confidence in her is obvious when you see them in the Oval Office together." Biden senior adviser Cedric Richmond said in an interview late Thursday night: "It’s a whisper campaign

During a meeting Thursday near the site of the Florida condo collapse, President Biden took a moment to highlight what he considered to be a silver lining. “You know what’s good about this?” Biden said during a briefing with Gov. Ron DeSantis and other local leaders. “We’re letting the nation know we can cooperate — and when it’s really important.” “We’re coming together. This is life and death,” he continued. “I just got back from 12 days in Europe. They wonder whether we can do this. And you’re doing it. I mean, just the simple act of everybody doing whatever needs to be done. You know it really makes a difference.”

Crazy Joe Biden strikes again. This time, it was at a bill signing event that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Rep. Jesús “Chuy” Gracia (D-IL). First, Biden slurred the title of the bill. Then, he called Waters by the wrong name, referring to her as “Maxine Walters.” And it only got worse from there. When Biden saw Waters, he said, “Senator, I hope. You think I’m kidding. I’m not.” She’s not a senator and, at 82 years old, she is very unlikely to be considering running for Senate and leaving her safe seat in the House

I’ve written several times in the last few months about the skyrocketing inflation that middle America is enduring right now. The costs on some of the most commonly bought items have jumped, including food, building materials, used cars, and of course, gasoline and other types of energy. With that very negative news really setting in with voters, the Biden administration has decided to go on the offensive. In doing so, they’ve executed perhaps the most pathetic brag in presidential history. There’s a lot to unpack here, and we can begin by asking whether this is even true or not.

To say that San Francisco is in decline would be an understatement. The city that once captured the hearts and minds of everyone who saw it is a shadow of what it once was thanks to skyrocketing crime, rampant drug addiction, and Democrat policies that continue to worsen every problem it has. Now, San Francisco residents are so tired of drowning in the issues that nearly half of them are planning to pack up and leave.

After years of prosecutors targeting Trump in search of a crime, Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg “surrendered early Thursday to New York authorities for arraignment in the first criminal indictment arising from a two-year investigation into the former president’s company,” according to the AP. The charges relate to paying perks for executives without showing those perks on their W-2 forms, and paying income taxes and payroll taxes on those perks. I bet the WP, NYT and other media outlets will have trouble finding those charges against other corporations, so I am sure they will advocate for going after all corporations and entities

Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday invalidated a requirement by the state of California that charities fundraising in the state must disclose the identities of their most generous donors. The high court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines in favor of a pair of nonprofits that challenged the state's policy. The Supreme Court found the measure, which requires charities that fundraise in the state to turn over information about their top contributors, is unconstitutional. "We are left to conclude that the Attorney General's disclosure requirement imposes a widespread burden on donors' associational rights. And this burden cannot be justified

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in a major voting rights case involving whether Arizona voting restrictions are racially discriminatory. The high court ruled Arizona’s out-of-precinct policy and HB 2023 do not violate the Voting Rights Act and were not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is now reversed, and the cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion for the majority and was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Neil Gorsuch, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Vice President Mike Pence may be in the doghouse with conservatives but no one can say there were stories that he was a bad boss or that his office was chaotic, mismanaged, or incompetent. Things are different with Kamala Harris. According to an article in Politico, Harris’s office sounds like the real-life version of Veep, the HBO political satire that focused on the stupid, self-centered, and vicious Selina Meyer, a Vice President whose office was filled with slavish gatekeepers and self-centered staff, all of whom were incompetent. The story rings true. What's more interesting is contemplating why Democrats are going after Harris.

"We're very honored and proud that she has agreed to serve on the committee," Pelosi said of Cheney.Cheney has in many ways been ostracized by her own party for refusing to echo former President Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election. In May, Republicans ousted Cheney from her leadership post as conference chair. The Wyoming lawmaker stands among the small group Republicans willing to openly criticize Trump.

Baltimore—When Target announced that it was opening a store in Mondawmin, a predominantly Black neighborhood in Baltimore, a city struggling with crime and poverty, it seemed like a ticket to a turnaround. And from the start, it was a practical success and a point of community pride. The store, which opened in 2008, carried groceries, operated a pharmacy and had a Starbucks cafe—the only one in this part of Baltimore's west side.(Snip) But in February 2018, with almost no warning or explanation, Target closed the store. Residents, especially those without cars, lost a convenient place to shop for quality goods.
