IS THERE ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE OUT OF THE USSC LATELY?

The United States Supreme Court kicked off its new term this morning, and in a move that's surprising many court-watchers it refused to hear appeals from five states looking to ban same-sex marriage. The move clears the way for gay marriage to begin in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin, notes the AP, and ripple-down effects in six other states mean that it will now be legal in 30 states and the District of Columbia. In declining to weigh in on the issue, the Supreme Court leaves in place an inconsistent, patchwork approach to gay marriage nationwide, but CNN notes that, with other cases percolating up through the legal system, the refusal is likely only temporary. Only four justices must assent in order to get a case on the court's docket, adds the AP; the justices declined the issue without comment.

In one month, voters will go to the polls to elect the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate. Will the midterms be clean? Could some elections be stolen? Everyone ostensibly agrees that voters have a right to know that their decision is not being ignored. And a clear majority supports a simple way to make sure: voter ID.

You would not know it if you read only the New York Times or watched only MSNBC, but the Left and President Obama are losing their fight to block the widespread introduction of voter ID cards. In courts of law and the court of public opinion, the issue is gaining traction. With few exceptions, liberal pressure groups have lost lawsuits in state after state, with courts tossing out their faux claims that ID laws are discriminatory, unconstitutional or suppress minority voting.

Polls show that a large majorities including Republicans, Democrats, whites, blacks and Hispanics support voter ID as a common-sense reform. The myth that voter ID is a new Jim Crow-type effort to reduce minority voting is widely rejected for the rubbish that it is — except by academia and the glitterati of the mainstream media. One Rasmussen poll found that 72 percent of the public believes all voters should prove their identities before being allowed to cast ballots, and also that when it comes to voter ID, “opinions have not changed much over the years.”

That's all quite fascinating but the issue in the Ohio case was not voter ID.

Exactly how IS having "election day" limited to "ONLY" 28 days or so, "voter suppression", hoss?

Come now, given a freakin' MONTH even YOU could probably figure out how to put down the Cheetos and malt liquor, turn off M-TV and unass the couch long enough to go actually sell your vote to the dems like they are paying you to do, buggy................

"suppression"............................ my achin' ass. Poor dear.

Just how many months DO you dems need to get that life-long "victimhood" voter base you purchase using the confiscated monies of those US citizens still willing to work and earn off their asses anyway?

I don't know which "GOP droids" you're referring to, or about the "right wing echo chamber", but we discussed this last week. I thought gramps was looking for something new.

Dunno what gramps was looking for - I was just correcting you. Voter ID was not the issue.

Your masters are much smarter than you. They know that reducing voting days, and voting hours, disproportionately impacts blacks and other likely Dem voters. The GOP doesn't pass its voter suppression laws to harm the GOP.

I was counting on you to know something about current events - like the nature of the Ohio voter suppression law the SCOTUS 5 reinstated on an emergent basis. My bad.

Oh, and out of all of the current events, I was supposed to read your mind and pull out that. LOL

Well the court actually agreed to hear a very interesting case from MD on the effect of essentially double taxation on income earned in other states on MD residents state income tax return. Unlike all the BS social causes that people want them to take up, this could actually have a very important outcome. This is important on several issues - it could actually define some very questionable issues on the ability of a State to a tax its resience for commerce engaged elswhere. Even though this is an income tax case, I think that the precident could ultimately affect states with sales taxes who have been wanting to get a taste of the taxes on the internet sales that happen in their states. It is also going to hopefully settle some long running issues with regards to residency, and the obligations on tax residency. Not directly but hopefully indirectly. If this case is decided for the taxpayer, there could be substantial fall out economically for high income tax states.

I can sharpen my reading skills all you want. You still didn't say it. Try to learn to communicate on something other than a first grade level next time.
