The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Strikes Again

The infamous 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has made yet another controversial decision, with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor sitting in. This time, they overturned Arizona’s requirement that voters show proof of citizenship before voting.

Hey, we gotta make voting easier for those illegal aliens somehow!

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned Arizona’s requirement that people show proof of citizenship to register to vote.

The split decision by a three-judge panel determined that the requirement to show proof of citizenship — passed by voters in 2004 — is not consistent with the National Voter Registration Act.

Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, temporarily sitting by designation, and Circuit Judge Sandra Ikuta, with chief judge Alex Kozinski dissenting, said Prop. 200 creates an additional hurdle, while the national act is intended to reduce “state-imposed obstacles” to registration.

The majority noted that Congress was well aware of the problem of voter fraud when it passed the voter act, and built in sufficient protections, including applying perjury penalties to applicants who lie about their eligibilty.

Yeah, there’s all this voter fraud and stuff, and voters already decided that this was what they wanted, but we’ll just overturn it anyways! Heck, why should only US citizens get to vote? Illegal alien votes would bring in so many more votes for Democrats, after all.

As Michelle Malkin points out, the Obama Department of Social Justice has been trying to keep states from ensuring that only US citizens vote in our elections. But this is a whole new degree of insanity. What we have here is judges that used the bench to endorse and facilitate voter fraud. It’s absolutely outrageous — and unfortunately, not surprising in the least.
