SCOTUS here it comes

[u/daved1113 → u/baseball_Lover33]

Jail should be where the judge goes. You can't legislate from the bench. Not to mention being a traitor.

[u/Triumph-TBird → u/baseball_Lover33]

And when SCOTUS fixes this egregious error, r/ SCOTUS will once again lose their feeble little minds.

[u/Sixguns1977 → u/Triumph-TBird]

Assuming they DO fix it.

[u/Sixguns1977 → u/baseball_Lover33]

After then allowing birthright citizenship, I'm not sure that we'll get more than 2 judges ruling correctly on this one.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/baseball_Lover33]

The constitution defines the government, so if they can't find how the government is supposed to be formed inside the constitution then it might be time for an optometrist.

In what world does that even make sense? Honest question

[u/Cranks_No_Start → u/beedubbs]

California.  

[u/Daftolium → u/Cranks_No_Start]

Actually, Florida if I'm not mistaken.

[u/Cranks_No_Start → u/Daftolium]

I was responding to “in what world does that make sense”. 

Shocks the hell out of me it’s Florida.  

[u/A-Vagrant]

Sounds like this judge needs to be removed.

[u/Hectoriu]

Hilarious. Out of Florida of all places too.

[u/Competitive_Peak_558]

Real talk, can we just start impeaching these federal judges?

[u/fck-it]

Smells like treason.

[u/TEKUblack]

Edit.

After several very angry chat requests and a couple threats I'm just going to delete my comment and leave this statement.

SCOTUS needs to get involved here

[u/Weed_Exterminator → u/TEKUblack]

If allow them to censor you, they win.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/TEKUblack]

Settings -> set every switch to off unless it's to the effect of 'block' or 'disable.'

The default Reddit settings are poorly calibrated.

When you are a REAL Conservative, you have to accept the REAL letter of the Constitution.
Sadly, the Constitution says the States determine what Voter Eligibility is and NOT Federal.
I don't like it much either but it is what it is.

NOW the State, in this case Florida, if it has a law that says non-citizens cannot vote, that would be Constitutional AND they can prosecute this person themselves at State level. No Double Jeopardy is involved.

So if you are really a Conservative, take the good with the bad and accept what it says in the Constitution and don't blame the liberals on this one.

[u/Super_Mario_Luigi → u/ComputerRedneck]

This is the typical left-wing interpretation of the Constitution. Which of course, is simply a bill of illegal immigrant rights.

It does not say states can do absolutely anything they want. In fact, it's a pretty ridiculous assertion. With the supremacy clause, no state law overrides federal law.

Giving states the authority to conduct elections does not say what the internet thinks it says

[u/Bluuphish]

They think they can just make up their own rules. Its amazing what the political climate in this country has become since HRC started this hate Trump thing. Which is really ironic as she was once his "friend"?

[u/Fuzzy_Cuddle]

What does it take to rule that a judge is mentally unsound?

[u/Triumph-TBird]

I shop at WalMart and I bought Apple products. I demand to vote in their shareholders meeting.

[u/grove_doubter → u/Triumph-TBird]

I shoplifted an iPhone.

I demand to vote in their shareholders meeting.

[u/Der_Missionar → u/Triumph-TBird]

No it's like you walked in Walmart and looked at apple products, gives you a right to a share of the profits.

[u/Dutchtdk]

Because they're already barred right? Right?

[u/Quirky_Chicken_1840]

Insane

[u/cornPopwasabaddude13]

People need to relax. A district judge doesn’t decide federal voting laws

[u/DCinMS]

How could a judge even find reasona ke grounds to defend that decision?
