#shevotes More on that SCOTUS decision disallowing states to demand ID proof of citizenship in order to vote…knowing that it came from Scalia, this likely has some land mines buried in it that will pave the way for states to impose greater restrictions on voting requirements instead of expanding voting rights as it appears to do at first blush. :( –Cyn

Opinion recap: One hand giveth…. : SCOTUSblog
www.scotusblog.com
In a ruling that might easily be misunderstood if not read very closely, the Supreme Court on Monday simultaneously strengthened Congress’s hand in expanding the ranks of eligible voters, and yet assured states that they retain the ultimate power to decide who gets to vote.

#shevotes Fail to pass immigration reform, warns one GOP leader, & it won’t matter who they run in 2016. For once I agree. They won’t have a chance. They’re already fringe; able to gum up the works but fringe. ~Cyn
