JUST IN: Supreme Court Throws Out Arizona, Kansas Voter ID Appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a joint-appeal from Arizona and Kansas on Monday that would have allowed the states to require applicants to show proof of citizenship while registering to vote.

In throwing out the case, SCOTUS uphold a Nov. 2014 ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, stating that the Election Assistance Commission — the federal agency overseeing changes to states’ voter registration processes — was, “not required to grant the states’ request that proof of citizenship be added to registration requirements,” reports Reuters. The court believed that the federal registration form — requiring applicants to swear they are citizens under the threat of perjury — was a sufficient safe-guard against voter fraud.

This Country is going straight to Hell. SCOTUS has taken religion out of just about everything and now they are saying that if you swear that you are not lying , you're good to go. Swear on what? Remember that Obama appointed 2 liberal women to the Supreme Court. That's why we are in trouble.

Well I guess the millions of illegals brought here by Obama will pretty much make us a one political party country. The communists (progressives) must be rejoicing over this one. I guess SCOTUS is in a contest with Obama to see who can destroy the country quicker.

SCOTUS needs to be replaced with honorable, non-political judges if any exist!
