On July 29, the Fourth Circuit issued an opinion in North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP v McCrory, 16-1468. Judges James A. Wynn and Henry Floyd, Obama appointees, enjoined voting restrictions passed in 2013 that reduced early voting, limited same-day registration, curtailed ability for provisional ballots to be cast in precincts away from the voter’s home precinct, eliminated the ability of 17-year-olds to pre-register, and created a requirement for government photo-ID for voters at the polls. Judge Diana Gribbon Motz, a Clinton appointee, would only have enjoined the photo-ID law.
The panel determined that the North Carolina legislature acted with intent to injure African American voters. The U.S. District Court had upheld all the challenged laws. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
SCOTUS hacks almost certainly to be interrupted in their summer vacations — for CRISIS arguments — likely now to Jan 20, 2017.
More and more 4-4 SCOTUS tie votes and lower CHAOS ??? Stay tuned.
Again – 15th Amdt, Sec. 1 is ONLY about the definition of Elector-Voter — NOT any other stuff.
Will Civil WAR I be re-started – in the form of Civil W-A-R II ???
Wow. Found intentional racial discrimination contrary to District Court’s conclusion. One does not see that very often.
Intentional/ UN-intentional = a *state of mind* FACT question — mainly for juries.
Relevant only for remedy stuff in civil cases — intentional = more damages, un-intentional = negligent = less damages.
Nonstop *politically correct* PERVERSION cases now in the courts.
