Chief Justice of the United States OKs poll intimidation

[nixonwasbetterthanW]

(SCALIA NEWS SERVICE) -- Based on his previous activity in which he denies having participated, Chief Justice William "Suppress the Vote" Rehnquist has issued a preemptive ruling that allows all forms of voter intimidation, so long as it is of potentially Democratic voters.

"Even though I never did what they accuse me of doing, hell yeah, I'm all for it," Rehnquist said in a statement backed up by his comrades in the Felonious Five Club.

"Black people did fine without voting for hundreds of years," said Justice Clarence Thomas in a concurring opinion. "Let's not rock the (slave-trading) boat."

Just Our Bill

by Dennis Roddy

Lito Pena is sure of his memory. Thirty-six years ago he, then a Democratic Party poll watcher, got into a shoving match with a Republican who had spent the opening hours of the 1964 election doing his damnedest to keep people from voting in south Phoenix.

"He was holding up minority voters because he knew they were going to vote Democratic," said Pena.

The guy called himself Bill. He knew the law and applied it with the precision of a swordsman. He sat at the table at the Bethune School, a polling place brimming with black citizens, and quizzed voters ad nauseam about where they were from, how long they'd lived there -- every question in the book. A passage of the Constitution was read and people who spoke broken English were ordered to interpret it to prove they had the language skills to vote.

By the time Pena arrived at Bethune, he said, the line to vote was four abreast and a block long. People were giving up and going home.
