A Republican Confessed the Truth About Legislation to Combat “Voter Fraud”
And I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, howl in rage, or just sigh.
They say truth is stranger than fiction. Sometimes truth is simply more laughable, in a sad and pathetic way, than fiction. If the courtroom exchange below was from a screenplay someone was trying to peddle to a Hollywood studio, they’d be laughed out of the room, not because it lacked a good “liberal” angle, but because nobody would believe the irony of it all. This is the exchange from the hearing before the Supreme Court of the case of Brnovich V. Democrat National Committe on March 2, 2021, a case concerning the DNC insisting that two provisions in Arizona’s voting laws violate the Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, as having a discriminatory impact against minorities. The exchange is a question asked by Justice Barrett (you remember her, the sneak-her-through-just-before-the-clock-strikes-midnight Trump appointee — and it strikes me as hilariously ironic she was the one to ask the question that set the trap the GOP guy stepped right into — what they call in tennis an “unforced error” I suppose?) and the GOP lawyer Mr. Carvin, whose job, theoretically, was to argue “nothing to see here, the laws are perfectly fair” but he had a bit of an oops on that score, hence my laughter, tears, rage and sigh.
