ACORN and the Supreme Court

AAL2: Surpisingly Calm

So Friday's big news was that SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United State) denied the Ohio GOP's.

I'm going to claim ignorance, but I think SCOTUS basically said since the Ohio GOP isn't a "citizen" they don't have the standing to bring this case.

So don't confuse this decision with the innocence of Ohio secratary of state Jennifer Brunner, though CNN, and the rest of the SCUM seem to be content to bury this fact at the bottom of the story, saying it's a "victory."

This was basically thrown out on a technicality, that the law wasn't designed for civil action. It sounds like another challenge will mount.

That said, I do understand the other side of this, and this is one situation where I would prefer the scalpel to the hatchet. I think they need to be careful how they purge the roles, and make sure they are following up on the discrepancies and not just discarding them. It wouldn't be the first time government information is wrong, and disenfranchising voters because the DMV has the wrong address wouldn't be right.

It would be decent of Brunner to at least acknowledge that she shares the goal of an honest election and supports the idea of getting fraudulent registrations off the rolls. However, at best I interpret her actions as she's decided to be apathetic about this (at worst she's conspiring, but I'll need more proof on that) for whatever reason, and seems okay with the risks posed with fraudulent names on the rolls, which I find irresponsible.

This isn't over, those sounding the Brunner victory horns may have to backpedal...
