2 Thought Experiment: This is a DC Judge, so let us assume she has a Driver's License issued from Maryland or Virginia or DC. Well, what if she gets pulled over while visiting Martha's Vineyard -- Using her logic, she does not have to show her Driver's License because Massachusetts has no authority over her driving.

By her logic, a Massachusetts cop has as much authority over her Maryland Driver's License as a President Trump has over a Federal Election.

If the Feds have no authority over Federal Elections, then why even bother holding Federal "elections" and just let each State Governor decide who wins each Federal Election.

''Because our Constitution assigns responsibility for election regulation to the States and to Congress, this Court holds that the President lacks the authority to direct such changes.''

The Constitution only allows the Executive to spend monies that Congress has approved. Yet, two circuit judges has dictated that the President spend money that the government hasn't approved for food programs (which do not appear in the enumerated powers of Congress).

5 ^NN@#3, An interesting side note to your comment. One of my bros-in-law has a brand new State of Texas ID, with the star on it. His driving priviledges have been removed due to dementia. However, he still can vote.

6 ...and as well all know, he still can be voting after he dies.

Are you admitting one of your bros-in-law is a democrat voter? 🤔

8 Well the Constitution does say the States are in charge of elections within the State... however, it also says the federal government is responsible for insuring that each state is a representative republic.

9 ..the Constitution also says that presidential electors were to be selected in a manner established by the legislative branch of the state. That did not happen in 2020 in Pennsylvania. The challenge to that was dismissed by Roberts in 2021.
