re: Hypothetical: Could the USSC Mandate Voter ID in Every State?

I also understand SCOTUS overturned the vote of the people

Apparently not the function of the USSC

If they haven't realized how often they look dumb and are wrong, they haven't really figured much out.

Well, of course. Everybody's dumb except you.

Here's what Google has to say about insufferable narcissists like you:

[quote]Yes, narcissists are fundamentally insecure, with their grandiose behavior often acting as a defense mechanism to mask deep-seated feelings of inadequacy, fragility, and low self-esteem. While they project an image of superiority, this act is used to shield themselves from intense self-doubt and fear of being unmasked. [/quote]

So the people of CA didn't vote against gay "marriage," and SCOTUS overturned it and by effect made it "legal" nationwide?

There is no logical opposing argument to voter ID. Period

I didn't say that. There is at least one other intelligent person posting ITT

Yet somehow their ruling essentially overturned plenty of state laws,

Declaring laws unconstitutional is the literal opposite of creating laws.

I don't know. havent thought of it really. If I did I would have laid it out in my original post. What I do know is that if figured out and done right, a SCOTUS ruling can do essentially do it.

For someone that touts his legal skills, you'd think you'd be able to concoct up a plan. Like it or not, a good lawyer would at least be able to come up with his opponents plan.

The lawyers who try to be clever like that end up looking like absolute idiots 99%+ of the time. That's more movie stuff.

Even the novel/creative legal theories that end up being successful are likely the progeny of the origination of the actual novel/creative idea and there are years/decades of failure prior to the success.

However, this one seems like more of an impossibility, as there is no mandate for national voter ID in existence currently. And, given the nature of the action (a mandate), I don't see a way for a court to create that mandate but-for a legislative action in the area to judge to get there.

And yet states had to start legally recognizing gay "marriages".

---

Because their laws making that illegal were ruled unconstitutional.

quote:

Crazy it's like something defacto created a law.

It's literally the opposite.

You're just framing it poorly to mold the facts to fit your argument.

If the law was unconstitutional, it should have never had any legal effects and should have been void. There was no legal legitimacy prior to recognition of the illegality/unconstitutional status. Your framing presumes that legitimacy to present some status that was changed, when, legally, there was never any legitimacy or status as it was void.

At lease my wife and I both finished middle school and know better than to think the USSC can pass federal law

Then explain what the USSC did regarding gay marriage, you liitle midget.
