Delaware Supreme Court rules vote-by-mail, same-day registration laws are unconstitutional

Delaware’s Supreme Court on Friday ruled that recently passed laws allowing universal vote by mail and same-day registration are unconstitutional, marking a win for state Republicans who had rallied against the legislation.

The court found that the two moves conflict with the registration and absentee voter categories outlined in the First State’s constitution. It upheld a prior ruling by the state’s vice chancellor, which rejected the vote-by-mail law, while overturning his upholding of the Election Day registration law.

The bills were passed in the final days of the state’s recent General Assembly, which ended in June. Democrats had previously tried to amend the state’s constitution but had not managed to secure the two-thirds support needed.

The former politician was sentenced to 2 1/2 years behind bars after pleading guilty to bribing election workers to stuff ballot boxes in local elections.

The last time former U.S. Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers stood before a federal judge to face sentencing in a bribery case, Ronald Reagan was president and Abscam — the 1970s scandal that sent Myers and a host of other elected officials to prison — dominated newspaper headlines.

The South Philadelphia politician emerged from the New York courtroom brimming with confidence that his conviction would be overturned on appeal.

But as the now 79-year-old found himself facing a similar predicament Tuesday — this time awaiting punishment for a separate bribery scheme involving ballot-stuffing in local elections — he didn’t emerge from the courthouse at all.

Saying he had little confidence Myers had learned anything in the four decades between his convictions, U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond sentenced the former congressman to 2½ years in prison and ordered him hauled off to prison immediately — a decision that hit the courtroom like a bomb.

Gasps erupted from the gallery filled with Myers’ family and friends. Some began sobbing, while others muttered quiet curses at the judge under their breath.

Myers’ son attempted to leap across the courtroom pews, shouting “I’m just trying to say goodbye,” as U.S. Marshals surrounded his father and prepared to escort him away.

Calm amid the chaos, Myers stood silently — his shoulders slumped, his face obscured by a face mask — as he hobbled from the room, handcuffed and with guards on each arm.

We have no problem sharing the day with the indigenous peoples, but to throw Columbus over the bow does not sit right with us. If it were not for him, we would not be on this hallowed ground today.

Christopher Columbus was not a Conquistador. He was an explorer under the charge of Spain. Unwittingly, the diseases he brought were responsible for the deaths of many indigenous peoples, but that is not to say he murdered them with the sword.

Tards say that we were responsible for the murder of millions of indigenous peoples. They should get their facts straight,

However, who is “WE?”  “WE” is the Conquistadors, the Herman Cortez‘s, the Pizarros, the conquerors of the New World. The Conquistadors were responsible for wiping out the Aztecs and Incas empires.  See below

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL WERE THE KILLER STATES.

The Latino Hispanic communities heredity can consist of a portion of Spanish, Portuguese and Italian blood including that of the Aztecs, Mayans and indigenous Tiano peoples. Columbus, of Italian heritage, from what has been written, landed in Bahamas and then visited Cuba and Hispaniola which is now Haiti. The islands were inhabited by the indigenous Taino people who were almost completely decimated by the diseases brought about by Columbus and Cortez.

The anniversary of Columbus’s 1492 landing in the Americas is usually observed on 12 October in Spain and throughout the Americas, except Canada. In Spain it is called the Fiesta Nacional de España y Día de la Hispanidad commemorating the role of Spain in world history, while a number of countries in Latin America celebrate it as Día de la Raza commemorating their common heritage. In the United States it is called Columbus Day and is observed annually on the second Monday in October. It was promoted by Italian-Americans to place themselves as part of the history of the U.S. among discrimination against Italians and Catholics. There are efforts in the U.S. to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

After arrival in the West Indies in 1492, the Spanish, usually led by hidalgos from the west and south of Spain, began building an American empire in the Caribbean using islands such as Hispaniola, Cuba, and Puerto Rico as bases. From 1519 to 1521, Hernán Cortés waged a campaign against the Aztec Empire, ruled by Moctezuma II. From the territories of the Aztec Empire, conquistadors expanded Spanish rule to northern Central America and parts of what is now the southern and western United States, and from Mexico sailing the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines. Other conquistadors took over the Inca Empire after crossing the Isthmus of Panama and sailing the Pacific to northern Peru. As Francisco Pizarro subdued the empire, in a manner similar to Cortés, other conquistadores used Peru as a base for conquering much of Ecuador and Chile. Central Colombia, home of the Muisca was conquered by licentiate Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, and its northern regions were explored by Rodrigo de Bastidas, Alonso de Ojeda, Juan de la Cosa, Pedro de Heredia and others. For southwestern Colombia, Bolivia, and Argentina, conquistadors from Peru combined parties with other conquistadors arriving more directly from the Caribbean and Río de la Plata–Paraguay respectively. All these conquests founded the basis for modern Hispanic America and the Hispanophone.

Spanish conquistadors also made significant explorations into the Amazon Jungle, Patagonia, the interior of North America, and the discovery and exploration of the Pacific Ocean. Conquistadors founded numerous cities, some of them in locations with pre-existing settlements, Manila and Mexico City.

Conquistadors in the service of the Portuguese Crown led numerous conquests for the Portuguese Empire across South America and Africa, as well as commercial colonies in Asia, founding the origins of modern Portuguese-speaking world in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Notable Portuguese conquistadors include Afonso de Albuquerque who led conquests across India, the Persian Gulf, the East Indies, and East Africa, and Filipe de Brito e Nicote who led conquests into Burma.

“I was on drugs, therefore I am not guilty.”

And God only knows who else he shook down. Bet you the BIG MAN KNOWS.

Running scared while going to the old playbook is the typical paradigm of those in trouble. They cast personal innuendos, start rumors and bring false witness to white wash their opponents.

Branden and his fools continue to lambaste the Republican base; “they are all Nazi” scum of the earth Terrorists who don’t deserve the right to vote. Imagine that a president goes low road, Obama did the same thing. These lying bastards call Columbus a killer of indigenous peoples, a murderer, a pillager of the land. If this is all true, which it isn’t, but say it is, what does that make the Tard inhabitants? Squatters is the only way to define them. The old adage, “people in glass houses should not throw stones” adaptably applies to them. We need to give them a free ride to where they came from; one way ticket.

See below! The question that the American people have is, “WHERE IS BRANDEN?”

“WHERE IS JACKIE?”

Let me start off with two words: Made in America.

Arizona signature referendum attempt to thwart school choice fails to get signatures needed for ballot

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs said that the referendum will not be on the 2024 ballot

An attempt by an organization in Arizona to take down an expansion program for school choice vouchers failed to gather enough signatures.

Save Our Schools Arizona attempted to use the state’s veto referendum to stop a school choice program that was passed by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican.

If opponents of a particular law collect 118,823, or 5% of signatures from the most recent gubernatorial election turnout within 90 days of the law’s enactment, it can be stopped by the secretary of state and the issue would then be placed on the following general election ballot.

Protests enter 15th day in Iran amid lingering internet curbs

Protests were recorded across several cities, including Tehran, on Saturday, with Iranians abroad also organising demonstrations.

An attack by armed separatists on a police station in a southeastern city has killed 19 people, including four members of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Tehran, Iran – Protests that erupted following the death of a young woman in police custody continued in Iran for a 15th consecutive day on Saturday amid internet restrictions that show no signs of easing.

Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, 22, died on September 16 after being in a coma that lasted three days. She had earlier suffered an apparent stroke after being detained by the country’s so-called morality police for wearing an “improper hijab” in the capital, Tehran.

Her family has challenged a claim by Iranian authorities that she was not beaten and suffered from pre-existing conditions, as an investigation into her death continues.

Protests that began in Amini’s hometown of Saqqez in the Kurdistan province have spread across the country and turned deadly, with dozens believed killed. Many have also been arrested, but no official tally has been released by the

authorities.

Students protested at about noon on Saturday in major universities in Tehran and several other cities. But most protests have so far taken place from late afternoon till night, when internet restrictions have also intensified compared with other hours.

The intelligence ministry said in an announcement on Friday that it has arrested 49 people linked with the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), which Tehran considers to be a “terrorist” group, in addition to 77 members of several separatist groups, five “takfiri-terrorist” operators carrying explosives, and 92 supporters of re-establishing the monarchy in Iran.

It also said nine foreign nationals from Germany, Poland, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Sweden were arrested “at the scene of riots or behind the scenes of conspiracies”.

The  assailants in Friday’s attack hid among worshippers near a mosque in the city of Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, and then stormed the nearby police station, the state-run IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.
