Civil Wrongs

Gray “Red” Davis is going to sign a law allowing illegal aliens to receive drivers licenses.
Whether the sponsors say it or not, the law is designed expressly to allow illegals to vote — and yes, they’ll vote Democrat — and Davis will sign it this time. He knows his goose is cooked, recall-wise, and he seems determined to go down in flames, doing as much damage as he can on the way out, in a Gotterdammerung-esque act of scorched-earth spite.
Now, if I were a Californian, I would immediately talk to a lawyer and go to Federal Court to block this law.
The grounds for a Federal claim? OK, I’m not a lawyer, but consider:
- in California it is either de facto or de jure against the law to ask for proof of elegibility to vote
- “Motor voter” gives any driver license applicant the opportunity to register to vote
- Illegals with drivers licenses will certainly be voting, though they have no right to do so.
Dilution of the value my vote and that of my fellow citizens – in short, an equal protection or voting rights claim – would be a Federal matter. It’s soon going to be time for the Feds to step in.
I’d rather they get around to doing something about the actual problem: illegal immigration. But don’t hold your breath – I won’t.
