Kansas Supreme Court says residents don’t have a fundamental right to vote By Richard Eberwein – 6/03/24

Last Friday, the Kansas Supreme Court issued a decision maintaining that residents do not have the fundamental right to vote under the state’s Bill of Rights.

Four of the court’s seven members made up the majority opinion in the case, League of Women Voters of Kansas v. Schwab. “One gets the impression reading the dissents that they think of the ‘right to vote’ in talismanic terms, as though it were a kind of superpower of citizenship, to be wielded in times of trouble whenever and wherever desired,” Justice Caleb Stegall wrote in the majority opinion. “Our view is both more realistic and practical as well as more legally and constitutionally precise.” The ruling reportedly makes it more difficult for future cases to prove that the right to vote is being infringed upon. While the majority opinion agreed that the Kansas Bill of Rights does not give the natural right to vote, the court ruled that other parts of the state Constitution give the “political right” to vote. Justice Melissa Taylor Standridge, who was appointed to the court by Gov. Laura Kelly (D) in 2020, argued in her opinion that the right to vote should be protected by the Bill of Rights. “By its very nature, the right to vote is an essential feature of democracy because it allows the people to influence government decisions and actions by electing (and removing) their representatives and expressing preferences on public policy matters put before the electorate,” Stanbridge said in her dissenting opinion. The ruling comes as Republican-controlled legislatures across the nation attempt to circumvent and gut existing voting laws.

That ruling is against the Constitution and therefore unconstitutional and illegal.
Just like Texas defied the US government when it came to policing the borders, which is defined as the responsibility of the feds in the constitution, given the way these folks are acting don't be shocked that even if the feds rule against this they ignore the judgement of the feds.

It once again becomes a question will the feds have the balls to enforce, through possible force, their order.

:jbhmm: Starting to notice a pattern with you, @skylove4. @Dr. Acula made a good post placing responsibility where it should naturally lie. Within one minute, here you go, starting with the goofy shyt. You're a deflection artist. Your goal here is to deflect responsibility off a Democratic party so comically inept that you can no longer defend it, so you blame disaffected regular people instead.

You should be ashamed but, considering that c00n ass avvy, I see shame is not an emotion you're familiar with.

Do it again, you'll be negged every time. Welcome to election 2024.

Back to Dr Acula's point, yes, this is on the duly elected federal government. Unfortunately, they seem unable to enforce anything on our behalf. The question is, how do we MAKE them? Do we have any independent political will left at all? Or are we just Democratic party hangers-on atp?

This is playing right into our hands. The fake illusion of power/importance they give with "the right to vote" is what keeps the sheep complacent. Among a long list of other things of course:respect:
