I guess this was a politically motivated decision too: https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2024-10-27-order.pdf

Can you please substitute "Son" (or "Word" or "Wisdom" or something else) for "Jesus" here, and reserve "Jesus" for the incarnate Son? It sure would help me keep things straight!

You stopped highlighting too soon! Congress can "alter" the State's regulations! Many fine attorneys have tried, and failed, to get the NVRA declared unconstitutional. Why don't YOU try?

Me neither. I'm defending the rule of law applied by courts, not the policy decisions behind particular statutes. Like you, I think Section 8 is a poor legislative choice. So what? You and I don't have the black robes.

Not everyone has their proof of citizenship ready at hand. Minorities may be disproportionately affected. https://www.npr.org/2024/06/11/nx-s1-4991903/voter-registration-proof-of-citizenship-requirement

Well, let's see what happens with H.R. 8281.

So much to unpack here . . . First, to attribute to Congress a purpose to maximize voter fraud is ridiculous. If it "seems [to you] that this is the very purpose of the statute," kindly point out a clause or two from which you divine this sinister Congressional intent. Second, I see no...

The statute says nothing that could reasonably be construed as an intent to maximize voter fraud. You might profit from reading what the Eleventh Circuit understands to be the statute's design.

What would you have her do, consistently with the statute?

"Case law" is simply a name for decisions rendered by courts. Those decisions may be on statutory or constitutional interpretation, or on procedural or evidentiary issues, or they may be on "common law" issues (torts, contracts and property) -- what we generally know as "judge-made" law. I...

Ouch! I wonder if @Jack will catch this thread. Of his 9,000+ posts, half of them are polemics against gays! I bet he has Lev. 18:22 tattooed on himself somewhere.

Two things: First, everyone agrees that non-citizens can't vote in a national election. The Judge's Order (click the link in Post #3) requires the State to send a letter to those purged from the rolls "Advising registrants who are not U.S. citizens that they remain ineligible to cast a ballot...

Trump says that "Kamala Harris is behind it. Very much." I wonder if he means she influenced the Judge's decision, or just supports the ruling. (She isn't on record saying she supports it.) I do think the decision was correct. The statute -- ill-advised though it may be -- is very clear that...

"I was only following the law" is the oath every Judge takes.

The National Voter Registration Act prohibits any systematic program intended to remove the names of ineligible voters from registration lists less than 90 days before the General Election. Yet that is what Virginia was doing. Judge Giles simply enforced the law. (You don't have problem with...

I don't see it. What would be the point of inter-personal communications in this setting?

I feel disrespected. It's difficult to understand "Keep trying you may get it" any other way. And I don;t need to feel this way. So we should just stop.

Point taken. And I'm glad you brought up Craig. I agree that the imperfect tense in Greek denotes a temporal relationship -- more succinctly, a period between t1 and t2 when the verb's past action or descriptive state occurred or existed. Use of the imperfect in John 1:1 tells us that the...

I think John 1:1 used Ἐν ἀρχῇ in precisely the same sense as Gen. 1:1 in the LXX used Ἐν ἀρχῇ -- to denote the beginning of creation. This is a reference to the very first point in "time" when God first started to create. Certainly the Word of God was the agent for doing so, as John asserts in...

I would have to start with adding the three preceding verses in John 5 to the mix: 24 Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgement, but has passed from death to life. 25 ‘Very truly, I tell you, the hour is...
