Federal Judge Says Federal Databases Cannot be Used by the Federal Government

[berg80]

Will the Trump Admin appeal it? They stand a good chance of winning if they do.

Actually, they don't.

This case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote. In the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces to create a centralized federal database that contains the private information of United States citizens, including Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. But decades ago, Congress put protections in place to prevent precisely this type of centralized databank. And the record in this case shows that the federal agencies that created this database knew that the database violates those statutory protections.

The caveat being the conservatives on the SC have frequently ignored precedent and the law on Don's behalf.

Most the far left racist bigot Democrats are against clean and fair elections, because they know that the corrupt Democrat Party cannot win without cheating.
She probably hates hates White people, and she wants non citizens to be able to vote in our elections.
She is against voting rights and "democracy".
These backwards racist Progressives are turning America into a third world country.

That's nothing compared to the Trump humpers and thier fuhrer. Trump wants no elections at all!

But trying to keep as many Democrats from voting as possible will do. Which is the sole purpose of the "SAVE Act."

It is yet another right wing attempt to legalize voter caging operations. They've tried variations on this trick ever since 2000.

Especially as there is no Civil Rights Act of 1960.

Actually you have just demonstrated your ignorance on the topic. The Civil Rights Act of 1960 was a United States federal law enacted on May 6, 1960.

U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in Washington, D.C., sided with a voting rights group and nonprofit that works to protect privacy in finding that the administration violated three different laws with its new system that includes Americans' citizenship data.

Violating the law – nothing new for the criminal Trump regime.

And like all authoritarian fascists, Trump violates the privacy rights of citizens.

Already a thread on this

That will come to pass, indeed it might already be here for those who do alot of airline flying. With "citizens" like yourself, the authoritarian state will have tons of support. Liberty dies to thunderous applause.

Dude, your computer knows more about you than your government or even your mother does. You're panicking about something that already happened.

What cheating bullshit?

You've been gaslighted, son.

Lookee here. We have a dude who thinks everything is on the up and up. You've been dim lighted, son.

Democrats believe anyone from anywhere can come to America unchecked and unregulated and vote in US elections.

Democrats = traitors

The Trump adiminstrations and his army of personal/government lawyers have never demonstrated massive voter fraud in over 60 lawsuits they filed in federal and state courts. Trump claims are, at best - conspiracy theory - and outright fabrications.

Trump shared a report on 2020 voter fraud. It’s ridiculous

More than three years after the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump is claiming, again, to have definitive proo

No shit Sherlock. That's my point.

It will take many months to reverse the judge’s decision

Not seeing the issue, if you're on the voters roles and can prove citizenship what's the problem?
If a person is not legally eligible to vote why are you against them being removed from voter roles?

Liberals shuttle people around the county with their never-ending protesting. I wouldn't be surprised if these people are knowingly or unknowingly being registered to in multiple states.

Because this is how Bush beat Gore. Florida, run by Bush's brother, generated a felon list to purge ineligible voters from their rolls. The problem was the list was that it wrongly disenfranchised thousands of black voters who were not felons and who were legally eligible to vote. Bush won the state by just 537 votes.

That could be true.

Duh!

Just another foreign born Biden appointee at work.

Her ruling is just bad, but unless a stay is granted, it helps delay assuring an honest vote in the midterms. And that is the point of these leftoid judges rulings.

Thread title says it all.

Thread title says it all.

No it doesn't.

What the court decided is that under present law that creating such a database and ordering states to use it is beyond President Trump's powers, he's trying to take actions that are sometime called ultra vires (latin roughly meaning "beyond the powers").

That does not mean that Congress could not take action to change current law to create such a database then require it's use under it's powers listed in the US Constitution Article I, Section 4 as it pertains to federal elections.
