“Judge blocks Trump election order despite overwhelming American support for voter ID,” Fox News reported Friday. “Federal court ruling strikes down executive action on election integrity as polls show 83% of Americans favor citizenship verification requirements.”
The judge is Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and “the portion of the order that [she] struck down included provisions related to requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.”
Kollar-Kotelly based her decision on the separation of powers, which is independent of the overwhelming polling. She says elections are constitutionally the purview of Congress. To that end, Rep. Chip Roy sponsors a bill to require states to obtain proof of citizenship for federal elections, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which has passed the House but is stalled in the Senate.
#BREAKING: The SAVE Act has officially PASSED the House, requiring proof of citizenship to vote
LFG!
208 Democrats voted AGAINST this measure though. That tells you everything you need to know. pic.twitter.com/fYAKnCVZvR

Why would that be controversial?
Democrats would have us believe it “disenfranchises” some of their constituents. How such constituents can still apply for government benefits that require similar ID, considered by collectivists to be “entitlements,” remains unexplained. Still, it shouldn’t be hard to find some since they’re claiming “millions.” Also absent from Democrats leveling such a charge is any indication of the Party reaching out to community organizations, churches, charitable organizations, and the like to identify such residents and assist them in establishing eligibility. You’d think it would be a natural for any congressperson to have a help desk in their district office, and ditto for state, county, and municipal reps.
But why fix something you say is important to you when you can complain and blame others instead? It serves their purposes more to level hyperbolic charges that help fuel resentment in their base by labeling Republicans as racists. Besides, who benefits from “undocumented” voters? Why would they want to kill that off?
That, and it’s easier to lie.
For Clinton-appointee Kollar-Kotelly’s part, she may have a point in this case, but it’s also understandable to presume her order serves her personal political agenda as well. She’s the judge who blocked a rule by George W. Bush administration allowing visitors to national parks to carry concealed weapons after the Brady Campaign complained he couldn’t do that because “Prior to issuing the Final Rule, the Department of the Interior did not prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement pursuant to the National Environmental Protection Act” (apparently a DGU might accidentally hit a spotted owl?), and because its “members assert that they feel less safe and that the Final Rule has reduced their ‘opportunities to pursue recreational, aesthetic, and leisure activities in national park areas.’”
Really. You can’t make this stuff up.
As for the SAVE Act, perhaps David Hogg’s Democratic civil war, with its radical leftist clown show, will derail the party’s chances in the midterms. Or perhaps feckless Republicans will once more snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It all hinges on what happens then.
The uncertainty in the face of certifiable insanity is unsettling. Still, gun owners should keep one thing in mind: NO matter what happens, even with illegal votes securing a trifecta, there aren’t enough of “them” to do what they want and take the guns. A “not safe for work” post (you’ve been warned) explains.
The truth is they wouldn’t dare. Which means the Second Amendment, battered as it may seem, is still working.
It should hurt to be as retarded as you are Ed.
