Democrats are succeeding at another game of “never let a crisis go to waste without getting more votes.”

The federal judicial assault on state sovereignty has grown out of control to such an extent that some states might want to cancel their elections and have the judges vote in place of the people. After all, they not only decide every political issue — thereby rendering the results of elections moot — but are now determining all of the methods and procedures for elections in the first place. The latest example in the train of usurpations is a judge forcing Florida to extend the voter registration deadline for as many days as Democrat activists demand because Hurricane Matthew disrupted several days of mail and registration activity.

On Monday, Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida, an Obama appointee, castigated Florida Governor Rick Scott for not extending voter registration past the existing deadline of Tuesday night, October 11. In one of the most political decisions I’ve ever seen, Judge Walker ordered the state to keep voter registration open for Wednesday, October 12. Then after a brief hearing yesterday, Judge Walker agreed to the Democrat request to extend registration until next Tuesday, even though voter registration was only disrupted for a few days.

In this column, I’ve written about numerous cases where federal judges have nullified the most common sense state election laws, a sphere of policy over which states have near complete power. Just over the past few months, federal judges have mandated specific days for early voting, pre-registration of 16-year-olds, required straight ticket voting options, mandated extra polling stations, blocked states from verifying citizenship of voters, forced Ohio to place 465,000 dead voters back on the voter rolls, and terminated photo ID laws in a number of states. On Monday, and then again on Wednesday, the Florida judge took this judicial civil disobedience and nullification a step further by striking down Florida’s inaction! He contended that the lack of “a provision [in state law] that extends the voter registration deadline in the event of an emergency” is unconstitutional.

Earlier in the week, Governor Scott rebuffed requests from Democrats to extend the voter registration period. It’s important to remember that this is a judgement call and a political question. Voters had months to register and there is no constitutional right to any specific number of days to register, any number of days to vote early, or any special methods and procedures of mailing in forms. If anything, given modern transportation and communication, it is now easier to register to vote and cast a ballot than at any time in our history. Yet, somehow the absence of more and more registration days requested by Democrats is somehow unconstitutional.

What’s next? Are the judges going to comb through the two-year period between federal elections and determine on how many days there was inclement weather and extend the period further? October 11 is more than a reasonable registration deadline for voting four weeks later, especially given that early voting is already under way in most states. Scott was well within his right to stick to the statute and not elect to offer an extension. If voters want to punish him for that decision, they have the ability to do so, but that is a political issue, not a legal or constitutional question.

In a classic display of legal subterfuge, in an attempt to disguise his radicalism, Judge Walker asserts that he is “not suggesting that Florida has to allow voter registration up to Election Day,” even though he speaks meritoriously about the states that offer same-day registration. Wink, wink, nod, nod. In other words, for this case, it will be sufficient to deliver more Democrat votes by merely extending the registration period to an unknown period prior to the election under the judge’s discretion. But if same-day registration ever comes up in court, one never knows what could happen. In the one-directional, post-constitutional legal ratchet, a Fourteenth and First Amendment right to same-day registration might appear!

In his Wednesday order, Judge Walker cited evidence of naturalization ceremonies being cancelled as a result of the storm, and that “through no fault of their own, they [aspiring citizens] would not have had the opportunity to vote in the 2016 election.” Where do we draw the line? What about those who might be naturalized next week or right up until Election Day? Which shouldn’t they get to vote in the election?

The legal system now believes that anything short of molly-coddling people into registering and voting under every and all circumstances is tantamount to disenfranchising voters. Yet, clamping down on voter fraud and non-citizens voting — the most profound manifestation of disenfranchisement — is rendered illegal.

Most importantly, a federal court should never have jurisdiction over basic state voting laws. At best, lawsuits against state election laws should be filed in state court.

Then again, Governor Rick Scott has nobody to blame but himself and Republicans like him. A few months ago, he declared gay marriage “the law of the land” because “the Supreme Court has already made a decision.” Scott must suffer through the judicial supremacy he legitimized. Heck, if a federal court can redefine the building black of all civilization, it most certainly can control voter registration.

When will states learn to finally fight back? (For more from the author of “Federal Judge Forces Florida to Extend Registration for as Long as Democrats Desire” please click HERE)

Politicians have a well-earned reputation for being sleazy, but a corrupt Florida congresswoman is in a class of her own for suggesting that federal agents could have prevented the Orlando terrorist attack if they weren’t preoccupied investigating her. Last week the veteran lawmaker, Democrat Corrine Brown, and her chief of staff were slapped with a 24-count federal indictment for using a phony education charity as a “personal slush fund.” The disgraced legislator, who is black, also played the race card by comparing her indictment to the recent fatal police shootings of two black men that have ignited nationwide civil unrest.

First elected to Congress in 1992, Brown represents Florida’s fifth district which spans from Jacksonville to Orlando. The 69-year-old lawmaker and her trusted assistant, Elias Simmons, used a fake charity that was supposed to give scholarships to poor, minority students to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, according to the feds. Brown used her position as a congresswoman to solicit charitable donations from corporate entities that she “knew by virtue of her position in the U.S. House of Representatives,” according to federal authorities. The money was used to pay for lavish receptions, luxury boxes for a Beyonce concert and a professional football game, repairs to Brown’s car and several vacations. More than $735,000 of the charitable contributions went to pay a close family member for a job in Brown’s office that involved no work, the indictment states.

After getting slammed with charges of mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, obstruction and filing of false tax returns in Jacksonville, the disgraced congresswoman went on a tirade outside the federal courthouse that she proclaimed was built “without minority participation” as if that was relevant to her case. “I represent Orlando,” Brown said. “These are the same agents that was not able to do a thorough investigation of the agent and we ended up with 50 people dead and over 58 people injured,” she said referring to the massacre carried out by terrorist Omar Mateen in an Orlando nightclub. “Same district! Same Justice Department! Same agents!” Brown also said the prosecution is racially motivated and wrote this on her blog: “I’m not the first black elected official to be persecuted and, sad to say, I won’t be the last.”

A political columnist for the Orlando Sentinel countered Brown’s claim that she’s a victim of racism by pointing this out in a piece published this week: “The Justice Department — which happens to be run by a black attorney general who answers to a black president — targets shady politicians, not black ones.” The column also reveals that “Brown is notorious for getting fat wads of campaign cash from the industries she helps regulate.” For instance, Brown sits on the House Transportation Committee and transportation industries—railroads, trucking companies and transportation unions—account for three of her top four industry donors. Let’s not forget that back in 1998 the House Ethics Committee investigated Brown involving several issues, including a $10,000 check she got from a Baptist official in legal trouble and a pricey car her daughter got from one of the congresswoman’s millionaire Florida pals embroiled in a bribery scandal.

Another interesting tidbit is that the president of Brown’s phony nonprofit, Carla Wiley, pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiracy to commit wire fraud surrounding the scam. As part of the plea she agreed to cooperate with investigators, so Brown is probably in a boatload of trouble. Under the deal Wiley admitted to conspiring with an unnamed public official—referred to as “Person A”—who used an “official position to solicit contributions to One Door for Education and to induce individuals and corporate entities to make donations to One Door for Education based on false and fraudulent representations that the funds would be used for charitable purposes.” Instead, federal investigators revealed at the time that the money went toward personal gain for the co-conspirators.
