  1. i need another passport as this country is falling apart lol so basically if trump or any radical president wins, only his /her DOJ can sue LOL

  2. Rap and hip hop culture does a at least 50 times better job

  3. Voting Right gives power to each Americans to voice their right.
    Republicans now take away people's power and give it only one person, AG.
    Republicans are attacking our Democracy in so many ways now. Why?

  4. TikTok… TikTok… TikTok… that's the sound of American Citizens' Rights slowly being taken away~📲😵‍💫💤⏳

  5. There's an old saying 'the ballot or the bullet' if the government decides you don't live in a democracy, it's up to you to prove them right and bring your full personal dictatorship to THEIR front door.

  6. Transparent attempt to suppress the vote by any means.

  7. Constitutionally unsound it reminds me of suppressing the vote by “poll tax, literacy test,” and of course knowing “how many red beans there are in a canning jar”
    This Court, On this Ruling, A Reasoned Linguist Determination construct,
    not so much, on this juncture of Suppression of Voting Laws!
    As if destroying the Reproductive Rights of Women and Children ain’t enough?
    DEMOLISHING 50 years of settled Law of VOTING RIGHTS 😵‍💫💩😵‍💫
    The Courts, “Without Standing “ has once again again, has made the Rule of Law from Aether! Some joke!
    WAKEE WAKEE or WAKKKEE WAKKKEE?
    That’s the Orange Monster and Roberts supremes court (6 of NEIN)
    Welcome to, government’s 18th Century prejudice and Justice Blight ☢️😵‍💫☢️

    Are Republicans quoting Hitler’s Mein Kampf?⁉️
    like a kind of religious experience 😵‍💫💩🤣

    When y’all come to the realization that this is
    another step towards human bondage
    to a Corporatist Church/State, Algorithms?
    Let me know.

  8. (Sarcasm on) Of course! Who really wants freedom? Just go ahead and chip away at the average persons rights – we dont really want free and fair elections anyway. (Sarcasm off)

  9. ID should be required. NON citizens should not vote.

  10. Save muslims Save world Save innocent people all over the world

  11. If Trump gets back the Presidency between the people he has already put in place and the ones along with his changes this Country is gone.

  12. Another tactic to strip power from people and add it to the control of a Trump centric federal government.

  13. It's 2023 and Democrats are still looking at skin color to make decisions. Racists.

  14. Of course this judge decided that way… what else would he decide with those sort of connections.

  15. Yet another reason to vote blue next year.

  16. Racist white America at work again

  17. Most of the people that are upset don't even understand what they're talking about.

    Do you know anything about history?

  18. Y'all are very stupid

  19. Scotus has conservative as it is will shoot this down. The one thing they havent been messing with is voting rights. If they allow only govt to sue over violations then thatd leave it up to the govt to enforce and seek relief from itself

  20. If its racist tonwnforce an ID to vote, since they say blacks cant get IDs (racist as hell) why is it not racist we ask ID to watch movies, buy smokes, beer, drive and so on? The left is racist as hell.

  21. ABC…Always BS Coverage 😂😂

  22. If that's the case, any state could make rules restricting gun rights and only the feds could sue to protect those rights. This might be the most stupid ruling I have ever heard.

  23. Im guessing not one of these reporters realize how the election process works?

  24. Maga running scare, blue wave have been coming the last elections. They know this election will seal their fate. Trump know if he lose, his hold over the Republicans is over and hes going to jail. Maga know if biden win and get the senate and house with enough votes, we win for once. We will get roe into law, voting rights, john lewis act, stop gerrymandering, make the rich pay taxes, ban AR15, get medium wages raise, child care, studen loan forgiveness, block anyone with a record or been indicted from running or holding office and and stricker gun laws, laws to protect our demarcrocy. Are you that mad that youcwilling to give all that up for ever?? Because if trump win, he wont leave this time. Thats the question. So they distracting us, getting us angry, to stay home, switch party, that has no dam chance of winning. It will help trump. so trump ease right on in. Yall better wake up, 2024 will decide if we get all we want, and save demarcrocy. Or hand it over to trump, and lose it all period.

  25. Shouldn't all laws be technical in nature? If it says only the US AG can sue, only the US AG can sue. The fact that a bunch of Marxist judges ruled otherwise due to their bias or fear doesn't change what it says.
    So funny the Marxists want pronouns you address the mentally ill with need to be "technically correct" but not the text of laws.
    So many sick people in America.

  26. They need to remove Clarence Thomas and everyone he appointed.

  27. Dear Dems: You are at war with the GOP whether you like it or not. Time to stop being nice. Signed: Overly Concerned

  28. A trump appointee? Why am I not surprised?

  29. If there are a U.S. citizen they can vote!!!!

  30. Of course the court throws your case out when you're lying about black Americans not being able to vote and you're actually trying to obtain illegal aliens the right to vote.
