Yesterday the Supreme Court put a stay on a decision by an Obama appointed federal judge in South Carolina that would have rewritten state election law. Since 1953, South Carolina has required that absentee ballots contain the signature and address of a witness to the signature of the voter. DNC operatives sued claiming that due to whu flu that the provision violated people’s right to vote. The Obama judge agreed in a rambling incoherent 60+ page opinion that would have made the notorious RBG proud. Her ultimate conclusion was, as all these opinions are, based on the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. This is what the left always uses to invent rights that don’t exist in the constitution.

Fortunately the supremes agreed and stayed the decision until after a decision in the Circuit Court of Appeals and even until after any such decision was ultimately decided by the supremes. Effectively, this means that South Carolina election law will stand. More importantly, it sent a clear signal to all the other Obama judges that any attempt to use the whu flu to override duly enacted state laws will face great scrutiny.

So far the Republicans have been more successful in the battle to prevent the Dems from pushing measures to undermine voter and ballot integrity and this decision should encourage them to appeal any losses to the supremes.
