Bad Day for Redneck Assholes

I've been reading the comments at various news sites carrying this story. The apocalypse is apparently well under way.

Has to be. No other reason can explain why Scalia is suddenly a traitor in the eyes of the faithful.

Ten bucks says the next nationally televised horrific death is blamed on this by Westboro

Westboro is more interested in fags...but your point is well taken.

No worries, Min. There's two rulings in the wings with the potential to blow some anti-gay gaskets.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot on their own require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make signing up easier.

The justices voted 7-2 to throw out Arizona's voter-approved requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the federal "Motor Voter" voter registration law.

I ain't surprised. I mean, how many time have the courts ruled on this? And how many times have they come back and said "no?" And how many times did the assclowns ignore the court saying no and try to do it anyway?

It's only a matter of time before this goes before the supreme court of the US. The bad news is that the supreme court is controlled by the same party that wants to restrict voting rights. However, Obama is still going to be president for another three and a half years and I'm still hoping Scalia and/or Thomas drop dead before then.

The Supreme Court only struck down the supposed legitimacy of a state to question the legal criteria of Federal legislation. The ruling ultimately has nothing to do with any issues of voting rights.....the ruling actually affecting that is expected late this week or next week at the latest.
