You are missing the nuance. Many states require ID to vote. I'm okay with that. I'm not aware of any state that requires ID to register, that is what I addressed not ID to vote.

That said, Michigan online voter registration application asks for DL or state Id number and if not available last four of SSN. Anyone seeing a pattern? ID requested but not required to register.

#47 What I know is an additional barrier to voting is ALWAYS an additional barrier to voting. These folks had to show IDs when they registered.

#50 ... You have to show ID to register, ...

Where did you get this idea? Texas, me, and Florida, Corky, I don't know where Alexandrite lives, do not require presentation of an ID to register to vote according to their online registration applications. FL asks for a DL number or last four of SSN. TX ask for DL number if issued and if not last four of SSN. Nor am I aware of any other state requiring presentation of ID to register.

To vote, yes but not to register. For registration is it superfluous.

BTW as is well known I support voter ID. I also support making it as easy as possible to comply and exemptions for folks who have difficulty obtaining compliance documents because of when or where they were born.

Would not a more direct and effective method be denying tourist visas' to pregnant people?

Presence subjects one to the "jurisdiction thereof," if not then by what jurisdiction can that person be prosecuted for crimes committed "thereof"?

There is no way to know Roberts' thoughts on this. Cert votes aren't disclosed and it only takes four to grant. Granting cert does not even remotely suggest how the Court will rule.

Also, how do you know it wasn't a liberal block that voted to grant knowing they have a majority or better merits vote? I could see that block wanting to write a definitive contemporary opinion that slaps the current crop of idiots up side the head.

Question, if an illegal alien is not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" then by what jurisdiction can that person be prosecuted for crimes committed "thereof?"

Typical Buffoon, alligator mouth hummingbird a**.

White House spin, propaganda, does not override the Buffoon ignoring 1L con law. Odd that its legal advisors don't revolt.

I'm not a Cheney fan. Top level official not invited is an embarrassment. Which describes the Buffoon.

Complete total takeover of the airwaves. That was ABC, CBS and NBC. That's it. Complete takeover for about a week.

Mine was NBC KXII channel 12 out of Sherman via translator channel 2. One.

Murderhouse(sic) needs to be behind bars.

Is that a fact established by a jury or an opinion formed from your media consumption?

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also told reporters he was blindsided by the provision and that he found it "way out of line."

You, the Speaker, were blind sighted by legislation you pushed? May I question your competence?

What would Sam say?

Get over it. "Dialed digits." No privacy interest. Been that way for decades. AI overview:

Under U.S. law, specifically the Supreme Court's ruling in Smith v. Maryland (1979), individuals generally have no reasonable expectation of privacy in the telephone numbers they dial.

This legal principle, a key component of the "third-party doctrine," dictates that information voluntarily shared with a third party"in this case, the phone company's equipment to connect a call"is not protected by the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirements.

Funny that the House attempts to censure a Delegate for "eroding public trust in Congress" by engaging in protected speech with a felon while publicly supporting, even prostrating itself before, a Buffoon and convicted felon sitting in the oval office.

Then they fail at both.

What might the A.B.A. do when a lawyer acts in that manner?

Nothing. ABA does not oversee lawyer conduct state bar associations do.

I know the feeling. Only happened a couple times. Then there's those times where you severely slow down and hope the idiots behind you do the same.

Anybody know what whiteout is? I experienced them in Colorado, all you see is snow nothing else. The same with the rain mentioned above. Just a wall of water. Visibility maybe five certainly less than ten feet.

Yes, before this is over, we'll get perhaps three or four inches of rain.

#12 Yes, thank you.

On a Read Meat for Yellow Dogs thread with a 131 comments on a controversial subject rationality is a rare commodity. So, I'll try an interjection.

By any reasonable standard, to put it simply, the Democratic tactics would have to be judged a total failure: They got nothing in exchange for the pain they inflicted. They went to war, with federal workers and recipients of government services bearing the risk of the battle, unprepared to do what it would take to win. They lacked the moral seriousness not to play at all if they weren't going to have the fortitude to see the matter through.

The optics of this are horrendous, however, "irreparable harm" is a legally essential element of obtaining any form of injunction.
