As I understand it, judges still can’t use sound effects in official documents.

Has Mr. Kobach had any of his pet initiatives around voting and voting restrictions accepted by the courts? The man is, how can I say this, not the sharpest knife in the drawer if you know what I mean.

Doesn’t matter…this is going straight to the Fascist Five for more gutting of the VRA. That’s the whole point.
But her emails…

I was typing exactly that when your post went up.
It will also give the Five the opportunity to say this doesn’t violate the Equal Protection clause because it treats all noncitizens the same way.

violated both the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution and the National Voter Registration Act.
So … what’s the problem?

Would the Equal Protection Clause apply to the 200K in WI who are at risk of being removed from the voter lists? IANAL, so I’m asking.

Not just a loathsome christo-fascist warrior, but a really, really poor attorney. All he does is lose, over and over again.

I’ve known better jail-house lawyers.
Maybe Kobach should settle in and check out some prison libraries.

Hard to say. You’ll recall that the Equal Protection Clause applied to the Florida recount in the 2000 election (Bush v. Gore) in a manner that the court did not elucidate. Basically, the Equal Protection Clause applies to whatever the fatuous five says it does so long as the court says that its decision cannot be used as precedent…

Maybe politics is not your thing, Kris. You might want to audit one of those prison classes where you learn to reevaluate your life choices.

Dem polling shows Dr. Bollier running even to slightly ahead of Kobach. I know she was a Republican at one time, but she’s also seen the light, and is heavily endorsed by the likes of Sebelius and Carlin. This is very, VERY good news for Kansas and all of America.
