PHOENIX (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked an Arizona state law requiring voters to present identification at polling stations and proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an emergency motion by opponents of the law for an injunction to prevent the law's voter identification requirements from taking effect for the November 7 elections.

The ruling by the San Francisco-based court also denied enforcement of a measure requiring voters to produce proof of citizenship to register to vote. The deadline to register to vote in the election is next Monday.

This is freakin' idiotic.

[Taylor]

I won't be surprised if this makes it to the Supreme Court and the 9th circuit court is overturned once again.

[Timberwolf]

That's what I was thinking, Taylor. I find myself wondering, "Why isn't the 9th Circus disbanded? They clear have NO grasp of AMERICAN jurisprudence at all."

[DoctorDoom]

I won't be surprised if this makes it to the Supreme Court and the 9th circuit court is overturned once again.Not before thousands of Mexicriminals vote for the RATs.

[RogerFGay]

The 9th Circuit is the most overturned federal court in the land. Despite that, they've still gotten away with dismantling much of the Constitution and redefining the meaning of everything else. Individual rights is a thing of the past, family is no longer a fundamental concept but merely an arbitrary legislative construction, ... Two new branches of the USSC are needed. One to question every decision the 9th makes and another to review all their past decisions.

If I wish to purchase cigarettes or alcohol, I must produce a picture ID.

If I want to conduct a bank transaction at the bank counter, I must produce a picture ID.

If I want to conduct any transaction at a government office (drivers license renewal, vehicle license renewal, etc.), I must produce a picture ID.

The only reason to resist a picture ID for voting is if one intentionally wants to encourage voter fraud.

Voter fraud will remain rampant until there are serious penalties against it.

[DoctorDoom]

Voter fraud will remain rampant until there are serious penalties against it.And the instant the penalties are legislated, the Atheistic Communist Lawyers Union will file suit in the Ninth Circus Court, and the robed parasites will stop them. Fact: until we declare open season on activist judges and liberal assholes, nothing will change.

[LightHorseman]

Atheistic Communist IRA not with standing, isn't this redundant?

[DoctorDoom]

Yep, but it's the least offensive word I can think of for the A in ACLU.

[Beowulf]

Well, the mid-term elections are a loss as far as having the 9th circuit court overturned. Hopefully before 2008 this will happen.

[MrSanity]

The thread title is more than appropriate.

The turncoats in this country have gone to great lengths to ruin it. Since they can't win elections through a Constitutional process with an electoral college, they believe they have the right to tamper with our laws. Since they can't win elections, and since they can't get their bills passed through legislation, they have obstructed justice by resorting to the courts to push their agendas. Those of you who weren't taught government by a complete Marxist know that the Judicial Branch's sole purpose is to INTERPRET laws, not to pass them.

The timing of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is impeccible. It would be impossible for the Supreme Court to overrule this politically motivated scandal of a ruling before the election takes place. Shameful!

This isn't the first time the Democratic Party has benefitted from voter fraud, either. They are the party for the criminal. Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer have expressed support for allowing felons to vote on a national level - which would override the Constitution, which calls for this law to be considered individually by the states. If you think I'm throwing mud for no good reason, you're wrong. I have PLENTY of FACTS to back these claims.

Felons vote Democratic, national study says

Of Democratic presidential candidates, the study predicts that Bill Clinton’s successful 1996 re-election campaign would have gotten the highest percentage of felon votes, at 85.4 percent. Jimmy Carter’s failed 1980 re-election would have gotten the lowest, at 66.5 percent.

Why Can't Ex-Felons Vote?

The 14th Amendment permits states to deny the vote "for participation in rebellion, or other crime." And it can be argued that prisoners should not vote; after all, the purpose of prison is to deny freedom. But with ex-cons, the argument shifts.

People with low incomes, low education or minority status -- all benchmarks of convict populations -- vote Democratic 65 to 90 percent of the time.

Felons and Democratic politicking

Should convicted murderers be allowed to vote? If the federal Count Every Vote Act of 2005 passes, they will be. The bill --sponsored by Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulski and others --would mandate felon voting across the country, regardless of state law. The bill shows that Democrats are more interested in the potential voting bloc than what the Constitution allows or what Americans actually want.

Unfair and unbalanced so far?
How about a left-wing site!

Advice for the Democrats: Let Ex-Felons Vote

Once they've paid their debt to society, allow those with felony convictions to vote. Consider this from an op-ed today in the Los Angeles Times by Christopher Uggen, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota, and Jeff Manza, an associate professor of sociology and political science at Northwestern University:

"Some form of felon disenfranchisement exists in 48 of the 50 states. Only two — Maine and Vermont — allow all people convicted of a felony to vote, including those in prison. At the other extreme, 11 states disenfranchise some or all felons indefinitely."

Many felons likely to cast ballots

Of the more than 47,000 names on the state's list of potential felons, more than 28,000 are registered Democrats and fewer than 10,000 are Republicans. That fueled Democratic criticism that the felons list was politically motivated, which Republicans deny.

It is politically motivated, but what is the shame in that when the Constitution supports your side?
