Some people, blessed with great opportunity, spend their life helping the poor and the needy. Others search for a cure for cancer or other diseases. Still others choose to work hard for themselves and make a lot of money. Nothing wrong with any of that.
But you have to be a collosal asshole to make depriving minorities, the poor, and your political opponents their Constitutionly guaranteed right to vote. It means you don’t believe in a democracy as a worthy form of government.
So where is Kobach getting the money to defend his actions in these law suits, and the fines? Is this coming out of the KS SoS’s budget? Do the residents of Kansas know how much this may be costing them?
KKKobach is an asshole’s asshole, like his president*. And if you need an example of the purity of ignorance, whiteness, avarice, cruelty, misogyny and just plain ugly that is the modern Repubulican party, Kobach from Kansas is your man.
Who knew that voter suppression could be so complicated? Nobody knew. And the ACLU - I mean, what’s their big problem? You’d think that people’s rights were being violated or something.
I honestly don’t know for certain that Kobach is in fact a dog-humping,serial small animal abuser- but I can say with absolute conviction that a revelation of this nature would not surprise me in the least given his public character.
He has the look.
These hypocritical “law and order” folks (including the president) are about to cause the collapse of democracy in the USA!
I have to prove I’m a citizen before I can vote?
Okay.
Before Kansas can tax me, it must prove I’m a taxable citizen. No taxation without representation.
No vote? No tax.
I believe it’s spelled K-O-C-H.
To coin a (much abused) phrase: Tea anyone?
I already hold this jackass in contempt. Go ACLU!
I 2nd that call for Contempt of Court charges! And remove his standing in the Kansas BAR! He has nothing nothing positive for Kansans or the American people at any time throughout his career. His loyalty lies to the oligarchs!
That is the question the new census to aiming to answer. In short, if you are not a citizen, you are still taxed, but your contribution to this nation does not warrant representation in Washington. Only citizens can vote. Only citizens are worthy of representation. Everyone else is relegated to servant status without even 3/5th of a vote.
Exactly. Why should I have to walk in to a government office, and say, “Please take my money because maybe I owe you taxes.”?
I don’t have to pay, unless the government is entitled. Therefore, the burden is on the government to prove to me that I am a legitimate citizen of their legitimate domain — if it wants my money.
Therefore, the government itself has proven to its own satisfaction that I am a citizen entitled to vote. My money (taxes) seal the deal. The tax receipt is my voter id.
