No, not The Master

The Fourth Doctor You are the Fourth Doctor: A walking Bohemian conundrum with a brooding personal magnetism and a first-rate intellect concealed somewhere beneath your charmingly goofy exterior. You are perhaps the most terribly clever of all the Doctors, though your occasional bouts of childishness get you in trouble. You never go looking for a fight, but when someone messes with you… good heavens, are they ever sorry they did.

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.
