(4,101 posts)6. There Is An Unreasoned Shadow Docket As Well...
The district and circuit courts gave extensive reasoning behind their opinions. It's a farce that SCOTUS doesn't even have to issue a justification for overturning those beyond, "Trust us, bro."
Fascist bullshit through and through.
What if the Executive fell back on "Roberts made his (unreasoned, unsigned) decision, now let him enforce it."
The Executive would not be wrong in taking that position.
Though the Court didn’t announce how every justice voted in Beals v. Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, only its three Democrats publicly dissented.
Wouldn't the Court be surprised if the DOJ had them arrested via an Executive Order.
Yes, yes they would...
I'm not sure what prudence says...
I'm struggling with that right now...

+1. And, they can reregister at polls. Not perfect, but probably only remedy they'll have

What about if other states try to do the same and voter registration is closed for this election?

might be an option in states with same day registration/voting, but too late to register in most states

Definitely not before the election... perfect timing would be once TFGs legal team appeals to the Supreme Court.

Well, I dunno. Apparently this SCOTUS pretty much says a President has immunity for anything while in office.

It's been explained here dozens of time. He has immunity from criminal prosecution.

So very true. The republicons are just using it as an excuse to PURGE people from voting so TFG can try to steal

The problem is that Virginia officials wanted this result, so who is going to "enforce" something against them?

Yes! Traitors to the US Constitution. Doesn't that make them guilty of treason.

Even the federal statute at issue allows the removal of dead voters from the rolls any time prior to the election

Precisely. I wouldn't object to voters who had died being removed either.

All Supreme Court decisions can be overturned if you have a reasonable, legal challenge.
