Activist Judges Who Work Against The Common Defense Of America
Today the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked enforcement of a law that required voter presenting an identification or proof of citizenship. They are most likely addressing the Twenty Fourth Amendment as those who oppose the law claim “it discriminated against minorities and the poor, who might not have funds to obtain the necessary proof of identification.”
One fallacy is the Twenty Forth Amendment only applies to federal elections and not state elections. The other is it gives Congress and not the federal courts the power to enforce it. So the question is whether or not there is a federal law that world effect this situation. If there is then that law would be applied but if not then it is questionable if you can rule the law invalid since the Twenty Forth Amendment would not be enforced.
If we ignored the wording of the Twenty Forth Amendment and instead misinterpreted it to fulfill our political agenda then the sky is the limit as it no longer has any thing to do with the rule of law but rather who is more powerful in the federal courts.
Putting a possible non existent federal law aside the issue is not a constitutional issue but is instead a political issue and according to the U.S. Constitution separation of power political issues are property decided by the legislature at they have the power to pass legislation while the judicial branch is limited to judging according to that legislation.
As a political issue looking at the cost of obtaining a photo ID and dividing it by the number of years it last will probably come up with yearly cost of $10 dollars or less which is easily paid by even the poorest American. If any state is above that pleas speak up. If any person in America can not afford to pay $10 or less than the least of their concerns is voting since they are probably starving to death. Still if we pander to the opponents of the law and give a free picture ID to anyone they will probably not be happy as that is what was the case in Georgia where they expressed concern that homebound people could not go out and get such a license. The government offered to come to them and give them licenses but that was not satisfactory for the opponents.
The bottom line is that alien both legal and illegal, convicts, and other individuals that can not vote legally make enough difference at the polls that some politicians do not want them screened out. In places where such illegal voters are more prevalent they may well vote in significant numbers to determine who gets into office. So from where it is sitting the opponents look like fools or traitors. If anyone has a better objection than the one mentioned in the article please let me know what it is.
