Hmmm... surprisingly little research and a surprising amount of error for someone in your claimed profession.[...] Caveat-I am guessing on this since I don't know off the top how many judges are on the 9th Circuit
second Caveat-the Ninth circuit is the most overruled Circuit in the USA by the Supremes
The court, however, found that the federal National Voter Registration Act trumps another section of the Arizona law that requires people to prove their citizenship in order to vote.
Appeals court upholds Arizona's voter ID requirement | Fox News
Looks like the case was heard EN BANC meaning all the judges heard the case rather than the normal panel of 3 judges:
A 12-member panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals says in a ruling Tuesday that there was evidence Arizona has racially polarized voting and a history of discrimination against Latinos.
But the court concluded that no proof was offered to show that the ID requirement gave Latinos fewer opportunities to vote.

In any event, the case is interesting since proof of citizenship is often the driving factor behind those supporting the ALEC/GOP efforts to impose state photo ID requirements across the nation (that pesky illegal alien vote, or perhaps just illegal votes by aliens -- E.T., phone in your ID).
And you claim to have argued federal appeals? Better check 28 U.S.C. § 46(c) on that tough en banc question.
pretty lame-I guess you are upset with the ruling
No, just astonished that you don't know that a federal court of appeals panel is made up of three judges, unless it's an en banc decision or in the DC Circuit.
Ladies and gents, this is what you call doubling down on fail :lamo[...] and yes the 9th is the most overturned circuit

I'm appalled that, according to Federal law, one doesn't even have to prove citizenship in order to vote. I hadn't thought about it, but it's absolutely ludicrous. W.T.F.?
indeed, you gotta respect a guy or gal who is soo determined to vote, that he would risk going to prison to do it.
...meanwhile, many Americans whine & bitch about govt. but don't have the integrity to vote.
Why on earth would you respect a lazy piece of **** who comes here illegally, becomes an unwanted burden on society, then disrespects our country by further violating our laws and tries disrupt our political system?
Wow, you sure packed in a lot of bigoted assumptions in one short sentence.
My feeling is that if someone so motivated to vote that he or she would risk imprisonment for perjury and voter fraud, and/or deportation ... they're probably a lot more patriotic than most actual Americans.
They aren't assumptions and its not bigotry. They are criminals.

Your bigoted assumption being that all undocumented aliens are lazy, and pieces of ****.
I suggest you spend a couple months picking fruit in the blazing sun before you call these people lazy.
Obviously many undocumented aliens contribute more to our society than they take from it.
Another bigoted assumption. I can hardly think of a greater sign of respect for our democratic system than risking prison and deportation in order to cast a statistically meaningless vote.
I worked raking and picking blue berries and digging clams many summers. They are still lazy. If they are too lazy to follow the procedure to come here legally than they are lazy. If they cannot respect our laws then they are pieces of ****.
No they dont. Many LEGAL aliens contribute to our society. The illegals do not contribute more than they take.
Do you respect those who risk prison and deportation to bring drugs here? They are risking prison to rape and murder too! Hooray for them. Risking prison to break the law is hardly admirable.
AdamT:
I don't call migrant farm workers lazy. Many are hard workers. Many are in the US legally, some are not. The discussion of legal or illegal alien workers is for another thread.
I think you stated voting is important. I agree with you that many citizens do not participate in the process. That is a shame on them.
What I find facinating is all the rub over an ID for voting. It seems those that oppose voter ID have no issue with proving who you are for other "transactions" that take place in the US. Why is that?
