Left Loses Big in Citizenship-Verification Supreme Court Case
Election-integrity advocates are batting .800; left wing groups, .200. And the most insignificant issue of the five is the one issue the Left won. Justice Scalia foiled 4 of 5 of their goals, and the 4 biggest ones. How does it work? The decision today uncorks state power. The Left wanted state power stripped and they lost.First, Arizona can simply push the state forms in all state offices and online, and keep those federal forms in the back room gathering dust. When you submit a state form, you have to prove citizenship. Thanks to Justice Scalia, that option is perfectly acceptable. Loss for the Left. Victory for election integrity. -- Rule of Law ｻ

Your Say
Thanks for posting this. The headlines from most of the "news" coverage of this story were just too depressing ("Arizona Loses", etc) and I never bothered to read the whole story.
Now that I've read Adams' more intelligent analysis I'm thinking there may yet be hope for citizens-only elections.

Yeah, that was a great analysis and I love his insider view on DC events. States rights won this round, basically, but the left can feel like they got a win.
