Alito: "We have lots of phrases that involve two words, the second of which is 'day.' Labor Day, Memorial Day, George Washington's birthday, Independence Day, birthday, and Election Day.

The argument for age limits on public office just grow stronger.

ReplyDeleteYeah, well, Independence Day fireworks start going off around here weeks before July 4th, so...

Reading elsewhere, Kagan made a comment that if they accept the argument to ban late ballots, it also makes early voting and absentee voting illegal. The same article said Roberts seemed in favor of the argument and outcome. Voting would require being in person, on one day, during the opening hours of the polls.

They really do hate democracy.
