What prevents making a federal voting holiday?

We are sick of you deplorables and I presume the only reason you are still here is self-deporting to hell lands you back in the US.

Republicans are going to get your asses handed to you repeatedly.

The Supreme Court on Monday afternoon cleared the way for the Trump administration to begin implementing an executive order, signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year, that imposes restrictions on mail-in voting. The court paused an injunction by a federal judge in Boston that had barred the federal government from applying provisions of that executive order in the November elections to 23 states (along with the District of Columbia) challenging their legality.

A separate ruling by the same judge, in a case filed by a different set of plaintiffs, temporarily prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from implementing one provision of the executive order anywhere in the United States. That ruling remains in effect, at least for now.

In its 10-page, unsigned opinion, the majority said that it was too soon for courts to consider the states' challenge because the order has not yet been carried out " which means that the states have not suffered the kind of injury that allows their lawsuit to move forward.

The court's three Democratic appointees dissented. In a 23-page opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson accused the majority of "[t]aking its eye off the ball" and thus "miss[ing] the Government's actual objective: to secure our imprimatur for its effort to foment chaos ahead of the November elections."

Which is exactly the opposite of their decision regarding the Ballroom: Once it's begun, it's too late to do anything!

This is right out of any would-be dictator's playbook. Only hold elections when you've done everything to prevent your opponents from voting.

One AI snapshot:

"In the 2024 general election, approximately 905,343 ballots were cast by US military members and citizens living abroad, according to the States United Democracy Center. This group, known as UOCAVA (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) voters, relied heavily on mail voting, with the majority of service members stationed away from home sending their ballots through the postal system."

Well, look on the bright side. The 2024 Democrats got those 140 gosh-darned Israeli hostages freed, so at least we got that going for us.


"FUNNY"

Abolish the Supreme Court!

This unelected detestable politburo with lifetime appointments, grand salaries, superb retirements, and easy workloads, is making Amerikkka unlivable.

The justices are bad ju-ju and feel threatened by the masses, rightfully so.

This why the SCOTUS police force is doubling or tripling in size.

Line them all up and blast away, FFS!
