ACLU and 9th Circus Strikes Down Arizona Voter ID Law
Posted on October 7, 2006

A federal appellate court has blocked the enforcement of an Arizona law that requires voters to show identification before casting a ballot and submit proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
The ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday came a month before the Nov. 7 general election, and just before Monday’s deadline to register. The law had already been used for the Sept. 12 primary and in some municipal elections.
The 2004 law requires that voters at polling places produce government-issued picture ID or two pieces of other non-photo identification specified by the law. Other parts of the law dealt with ineligibility of illegal immigrants to receive some government services and benefits.
So, I know you’ve heard it all before but,…you need an I.D. to cash a check, drive a car, use a credit card, buy alcohol or tobacco, but to vote….? Oh, that would be horrible and disenfranchise the right for dead people, and illegal immigrants to vote! I could go on and on ripping this typical 9th Circus decision apart, but fortunately the Rottweiller has already done that for me.
One last thing to note. Who was behind the lawsuit to ensure illegals and headstones would not lose their “right” to vote for the right party? Well, of course the guardian of all imaginary rights…the ACLU.
The law has been challenged in federal court by groups including the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, the League of Women Voters, the Navajo Nation, the Arizona Civil Liberties Union, the Arizona Advocacy Network and the Mexican-American Legal and Educational Fund.

Once again the black robed Mullahs on the bench overturn the will of the people as enacted by their elected representatives, and disenfranchise legal voters.
Every fraudulent vote, every single illegal vote, cancels out the vote of a citizen. That… is real disenfranchisement.

Technically the Ninth Circuit Court did not strike the voter law ID down, they just blocked it’s enforcement.
I heard this was linked to the Twenty Fourth Amendment, which is nonsense since it only stops poll taxes at the Federal level, and Congress has to pass legislation before it is enforced. So unless someone can tell me what federal law the Arizona law broke, I am going to laugh about any claims it is unconstitutional.
So if what I heard is correct, then the Federal Courts should throw it out until a law passed by Congress applies. Any other action for or against it is activism.
If someone has heard another way this case belongs in the federal courts, please let me know. If you have heard of federal legislation about Poll taxes, I would like to hear about it too.
Why was the law blocked? Can you link to the opinion?
