Excerpt:
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court sided Friday with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations. The justices overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.
And
The Supreme Court said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue.
I can ex-hale on that one! Feels good. One more “biggie” to go. I find it interesting “…the law does not allow private entities, like the GOP…..”. I would never have guessed the GOP was a private entity. Is this new information for Constitutional Lawyers to work with? I hope so. Sounds like a mighty powerful weapon to me.
As always,

P.S.
Boy, if ever there were a case of biting the hand that feeds you......
(Update)
I have yet to see the ruling on my TV stations. I strongly suspect the Republicans are busy, very busy mind you, lining up their pundits to give the most God awful and insulting spin on the ruling.
