The Supreme Court allowed a restrictive Republican-backed law in South Carolina, which requires voters to have a witness sign mail-in ballots, to be in place for the Nov. 3 election

The justices, granting a request by various Republican officials, put on hold a lower court ruling that had blocked the restriction. The court, in a brief order, said that ballots already sent would not have to comply with the signature requirement.

Various Republican state officials, including members of the state’s election commission, asked the Supreme Court to allow the law to be in effect for the election after a federal judge on Sept. 18 blocked it from being implemented for November.Some 150,000 mail-in ballots already have been distributed to South Carolina voters.

CORRECTION: SCOTUS rules that state law must be followed. As Justice Thomas has said, not all good ideas are Constitutional, and not all bad ideas are Unconstitutional.

Why leave out that not even the three remaining liberal justices announced any objections? 🤔 Hacks.

They better reform the federal court system and get rid of lifetime appointments or we’re gonna have nearly 40 years of absurd decisions like this by federalist society judges

A vote for Trump and any Republicans is a vote against the country and democracy?

No.... it RE-INSTATES long standing rules that the dems tried to change.

Vote all these Motherfckn repubs out of office 😡😡😡😡

Supreme court is a joke.

If only 150,000 absentee ballots were mailed out, then it would seem the SCOTUS would mandate that South Carolina election officials mail them all a NOTICE=get a witness!

Dnc loves voter fraud

Fuck Y'All!!!

Voter suppression, this is no longer a democracy

Only place in the whole world. Throwing democrazy in the trash can. Back to masters and slaves. What a disgusting country.

Hey Billy Bob come on down here y'all and take care of these here colored ballots. We don't want THEM having too big a say in anythin' do we? 😉 Yuk yuk yuk yuk... Dont roll your eyes. It being f'ing going on for hinderedes of years in these parts! So why would people be upset?

Fuck this bullshit! Pack the court it is!!!!

Voter suppression in plain view.

My god! The voter obstruction is right in your face now! We need to make voting laws the same in every state!

Then wear a mask and vote. I’ll risk my life for this one.

Cheaters never win

Politics solves nothing.

This must be part of DonaldTrump's and GOP's ongoing plan to maximize the number of American deaths and sickness from COVID19 There is a LOT of money to be made on a million sick people . . . There is a SHITLOAD to be made on 7.5 million cases. TrumpLiesAmericansDie

Restriction? Sounds like security. Why is it always dnc people that are incompetent and can’t do what capable people can? Do we really need their input on important issues?

Voter suppression in America ? 😳😱🤬

So how long are we going to the GOP to supress the vote. Do we want 33% of the country ruling the rest of us?

More democrats are/plan to vote by mail or vote early, while more Republicans plan to vote in person. Their intention is clear.

Another reason why we need to VOTE EARLY AND IN PERSON!!!

Stop these confirmation hearings for Judge Barrett, until the new President has been elected. We have a very sick Nation right now, you selfish, Trump-culted people! You cannot possibly install a lifetime Judicial Appointment without the benefits of direct, personal questioning.

The GOP will always do all they can to put up roadblocks in the south when it comes to voting. A witness? Your note is your vote. Period.

Good! There should be zero questions on validity.

The court has lost credibility

Holy voter suppression, Batman!

Can we all say BS

Victory!

Virus spreads on panel handling Supreme Court nominationTwo GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have tested positive for the coronavirus. Both say they will quarantine for 10 days, ending just before Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett are to begin Oct. 12. 14 days quarantine period is to make sure you're not positive (ie not having the virus). Now if they already have the virus, they must be out indefinitely until tested negative 3 times again. GOPs again do whatever they want to do here. Aww perfect timing for these drunk drivers to get back in their cars and drive drunk again. Glad they are in charge of our future livelihoods. They make the best logical decisions based on truth, science and reality. Let’s keep term limits for life. I just love these monsters.

Amy Coney Barrett’s 2017 Responses Offer Preview of Supreme Court HearingJudge Barrett, whose Supreme Court confirmation hearing is in little more than a week, has tended to respond to senators’ questions about her views with lofty or legalistic rhetoric rather than direct answers. “I can't help but find it a tad ironic that when anyone else is sick Trump wanted them to take hydroxychloroquine. When he himself gets sick he takes an actual experimental drug that might work and has real scientific evidence behind it.” - Fredrick Brennan. This should not be happening, the president is deranged 25thAmendmentNow Why are you marching along with this charade? This should not be happening!!! Write about that.
