[Yahoo] US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in Washington, D.C can suck it. Long and hard.
The US Supreme Court revived on Friday an expanded immigration database that President Donald Trump's administration said aims to combat voting by noncitizens but critics contend could disenfranchise eligible voters.
The justices granted the Justice Department's request to block a judge's order that had stopped state officials from using Social Security numbers and other information to conduct sweeping checks of the citizenship status of registered voters against federal records.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from Friday's order.
The majority said the plaintiffs' arguments likely fail because federal law expressly authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to request and receive information relating to citizenship and immigration status from other agencies, including the Social Security Administration.
The administration's data-sharing arrangement is one in a series of actions boosting the federal government's involvement in voting ahead of November's midterm elections in which Trump's fellow Republicans seek to maintain control of Congress. The U.S. Constitution gives individual states the primary authority to run and administer elections.
The Department of Homeland Security last year redesigned a federal database known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, used to verify a person's citizenship and immigration status. The revamp allowed users to search many records at a time and to conduct searches using individuals' Social Security numbers.
In a social media post on Friday, James Percival, general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, replied to a post about the court's order, saying, "Yes, you read that right. We had to file an emergency petition in the Supreme Court just so we could use government data to help states stop noncitizens from illegally voting."
Since the federal database was expanded, several Republican-led states have compared their voter lists to the database, and some voters flagged as potential noncitizens have had their registrations canceled.

…Democratic candidate for Alaska for the US Senate…
expose inappropriate behavior and an abuse scandal to the New York Times, hinting at major political fallout for Democrats in their battle against Dan Sullivan
…that is to say, the real Dan Sullivan, not the Democratic ringer by the same name who was intended to sneakily siphon off Republican votes…
While you are at it check out this Democrat Socialist who is clearly a Genocidal Racist.
Marxist streamer Hasan Piker Who has announced 'We're Here To Destroy The White Race'. Piker has openly called on his followers to “kill capitalists”: “Yeah kill them! Kill those motherf@#kers and murder those motherf@#kers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their f@#king red capitalist blood, dude.”
So he has, and still is, openly calling for the murder of all WHITES.
Not surprisingly, he has close ties to the NYC Mayor.
Strange, but despite calling for Terrorism acts and murder, he has not been arrest, detained by Homeland Security, or NY State Police.
