The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot on their own require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make signing up easier.

The justices voted 7-2 to throw out Arizona's voter-approved requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the federal "Motor Voter" voter registration law.

Federal law "precludes Arizona from requiring a federal form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the court's majority.

The court was considering the legality of Arizona's requirement that prospective voters document their U.S. citizenship in order to use a registration form produced under the federal "motor voter" registration law. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which doesn't require such documentation, trumps Arizona's Proposition 200 passed in 2004.

Arizona appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.

I don't think the States have to accept the court decision.

I have been reading "The Rise and Decline of the Roman Empire". Looks to me like we are following that path. If we don't learn from history we are bound to repeat the same mistakes. Letting non-citizens is just asking for big trouble. If that so-called immigration bill passes and become law, the American we know and love will be gone in a few years and never to return.

This proves the Supreme Court IS Compromised, Corrupt and Dirty !

Registering to Vote in State, local and Federal elections is a "privilege" set aside for Americans ONLY !

There is NO REASON why a state, local jurisdiction can't lawfully "verify" citizenship when the Federal level still hasn't got a legitimate Voter Registration I.D. Card like Mexico!!!(Verified Picture I.D., Thumb Print, verified address thru electrical bills, etc..)

Anybody walking out of a Walmart, or Social Services Department in this State(California) can register on their own and NO Passport or birth certificate is verified.

Jesus H. Christ(and a few others) WTF !!! is going on here?

Am I the only one that gets this ??? 

Maybe "WE the People" need to have some Colombian elections !!! Maybe We the People need to remove Congress and the Supreme Court like in Colombia ???  

The Corruption runs DEEP and WIDE and most Americans are "Asleep" or "Doped" up?

If enough foreign nationals come into OUR country and VOTE, WE the People will no longer be Americans!

Unless you went thru a special immigration process, you are either and "illegal"(no docs), Temporary Resident, Lawful Permanent Resident Alien, (after 5 years you can take the U.S> Citizenship Test) and eventually a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, (unless you are a Natural Born American National)

Does everybody know the difference?

Mexico has better Immigration laws than we do!!

P.S. I just heard Sean Hannity supports the Patriot Act!!!?(The Patriot Act is just like Hitler's Enabling Act)

I still have it on my website: www.customscorruption.com
