The SCOTUS has just sided with the Ohio Sec of State (dem) saying she does not have to provide an accurate way of checking new voters registrations. She says it would just disenfranchise poor voters and make them stay away from the polls. I think the dems would just like to do away with the election so their anointed one can assume the throne. Excuse me, I have to go wretch.

It should be pointed out that the SCOTUS doesn't really side with individuals . . . it interprets law. In the present case, as I understand it, the SCOTUS decided that the plaintiff had no legal standing to bring the suite in the first place. That really isn't "siding with the Ohio Secretary of State." I'm not a lawyer, but it sounds like this is a very narrow, technical decision not determined by who has a dog in the fight or by political interests.
That being said, I regret that it turned out that way. I wonder what the right path to resolve this question of the legitimacy of those 200,000 dubious registrations, and I do feel it needs to be resolved, the sooner the better. But I don't blame the SCOTUS for betraying our sect and bouying up the opposing sect. I don't think that is the reality.
