Title: NC Judge throws out two voter-approved Constitutional Amendments
Post by: Pandora on February 26, 2019, 05:10:33 AM
One of the amendments was to implement a voter ID requirement, and the other was a cap on the state income tax rate. (https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article226652589.html)

The North Carolina General Assembly is so gerrymandered that its members don’t truly represent the people of the state and thus should never have proposed constitutional amendments in the first place, Wake County Superior Court Judge G. Bryan Collins wrote in his ruling that was issued late Friday afternoon.

“An illegally constituted General Assembly does not represent the people of North Carolina and is therefore not empowered to pass legislation that would amend the state’s constitution,” he wrote.

Regardless of what this County Judge thinks, these Amendments passed statewide with 55.5% and 57% approval.

And, as usual, when it comes to Voter ID, the NAACP is up to its neck in this crap.

At what point do non democratic means get used to get rid of undemocratic judges?

Any county Sheriff worth his Constitutional Oath would arrest this judge & haul him off the bench.

If not...I suggest a Sons of Liberty war-party and a warning for other would-be fascists!

This tyranny only stands because the people are allowing it to stand. Tyrants should be hung.
