... A federal judge blocked portions of a Trump administration order Friday that would have required voters to show proof of citizenship at the voting booth. In a 44-page memorandum, U.S. District Judge Denise Casper ordered that adding layers of difficulty to the voting process would only harm eligible voters by adding significant barriers before they can cast their ballots. Casper further noted that Donald Trump's order was an executive overreach and that the authority to set new election requirements rests with Congress. "There is no dispute (nor could there be) that U.S. citizenship is required to vote in federal elections and the federal voter registration forms require attestation of citizenship," Casper wrote. "The issue here is whether the president can require documentary proof of citizenship where the authority for election requirements is in the hands of Congress, its statutes ... do not require it, and the statutorily created [Election Assistance Commission] is required to go through a notice and comment period and consult with the states before implementing any changes to the federal forms for voter registration." ...

This is the second injunction against the order. Another court entered one is April. www.votebeat.org Other challenges are pending.

I saw Trump Major Blow and figured it was a Don Jr. story.

If Pres Trump's appeals make it to the Supreme Court, my understanding is that Justice Kagan is the Justice for the California branch of the US Appeals Courts system who decides whether or not to accept the appeal.
(not convinced I worded that correctly...)

Oops ... so many court cases against Pres Trump's actions, it is difficult to properly track them.
My #5 comment was about the lawsuit filed by Gov Newsom against Pres Trump regarding Pres Trump deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles.
Not the lawsuit mentioned in this thread.
Apologies.

Trumpy suffered a major "blow"?
I blame Bill Johnson.
