Republican congressional candidate Dan Sebring this week said that the Supreme Court put Wisconsin’s Voter ID law on hold in order to hurt Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) chances in 2016.
“The United States Supreme Court said we can’t implement it for this election,” he told ThinkProgress in an interview published Sunday. “My personal feeling is that this is a play to steer the outcome of the gubernatorial election so that Scott Walker wouldn’t have a chance of getting on the ticket in 2016 for the White House. I think that’s what they’re trying to do.”
The Supreme Court did not strike down the law, but granted a stay through the 2014 election.
Walker’s opponent in the gubernatorial race Mary Burke noted last week that thousands of Wisconsin residents, who are mostly minorities, lack the ID required under the law.
because the less people vote, the more likely walker and his koch-infused minions win elections.
What about Texas?? Was the SCOTUS helping the democrat there?? Republicans are for the SCOTUS ruling unless they don’t like it.
The United States Supreme County has had a majority of justices nominated by Republican presidents since 1969.
So why would it want to hurt Walker?
The article states that SCOTUS merely granted a stay through the 2014 election.
But I’m sure Danny boy is just as outraged about SCOTUS actually allowing the Texas Voter ID ruling to stay in place for the 2014 election.
It’s simply the standard ploy they always play, we’re the victims here, blah blah blah, the liberal courts fucked us, blah blah blah…
It’s easier to see through them than water.
