“. . . And now Department officials can’t seem to make up their minds as to whether the official’s prejudiced comment was a purely private matter and thus beyond their purview or, on the contrary, defensible in its substance because of an (isolated) incident at a college basketball game. . . .

Despite the administration’s arguments to the contrary, the court insisted that voter identification is a reasonable means of ensuring “the state’s legitimate interest in assessing the eligibility and qualifications of voters.”

Indeed, most Americans would find it odd, and disturbing, to know that the Justice Department seems to reject that interest entirely. . . .

This is somewhat akin to what happened when the Justice Department overruled the black majority of Kinston, N.C., by overriding a referendum through which that black majority hoped to enact a nonpartisan system for local elections. The Obamites at Justice effectively told those black citizens that they didn’t know their own interests, which could not be well served unless they could identify and vote for candidates publicly identified as Democrats. After two years of this nonsense, the Justice Department backed down in February – tacitly being forced to accept what it has yet to understand in the EEOC case, which is that heavy-handed attempts to help black citizens can actually harm those citizens, while so grossly violating established legal principles that courts are sure eventually to overturn the Obamites’ positions.”

And the Supreme Court may smack the Montana Supreme Court down as well. 

Conservative
groups won another victory Wednesday in an ongoing challenge to Montana
campaign finance laws when a federal judge agreed that several
regulations unconstitutionally restrict free speech.

U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell mostly sided with Virginia-based
American Tradition Partnership in its federal case attacking several
aspects of state campaign finance laws. The judge determined that state
laws requiring attack ads to disclose the targeted candidates’ voting
record and ban knowingly false statements in such ads are
unconstitutionally vague.

The ruling largely matched a preliminary
determination made earlier by the judge. But Lovell went a step further
and also decided that Montana cannot ban corporations from making
contributions to political committees that make independent
expenditures.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant plans to sign the voter ID bill at a ceremony scheduled today.  link

In an statement on the embarrassing behavior by University of North Carolina administrators who were filmed endorsing student double registration, voting and fraud, the UNC Chancellor admitted it was “inappropriate behavior.”   Conspiring to dilute the votes of legal voters is serious misconduct.  excerpt below:

O’Keefe’s team went undercover at UNC secretly taping at least two
UNC officials, while O’Keefe’s operative discussed a voter fraud scheme.

One university staffer laughed and at one point seemed to even encourage the plan.

In
a statement to ABC11, UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp wrote, “While the
scenarios described in the video were false, some of our administrators
responded inappropriately, and we are taking disciplinary action against
those who used poor judgment in their approach to these student
imposters.”
