The latest politically motivated lawsuit—filed against Arizona by the Biden Justice Department over the state’s new law attempting to verify the citizenship of registered voters—demonstrates the importance of a bill just introduced by Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., HR 8223, that would stop that lawsuit in its tracks.

IRONDALE – Nearly 100 veterans from World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War were honored on Saturday, July 16, 2022, at a ceremony held at Classic Car Motoring in Irondale.

Over the weekend, a group of protesters picketed outside of a Washington, D.C. restaurant where U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was eating dinner. Some of the protesters demanded the restaurant staff make Kavanaugh leave, and eventually, the justice had to sneak out the backdoor.

This comes just weeks after a man was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s home for planning to assassinate the justice.

Although much of the focus of the recent Supreme Court rulings have been issue-specific, they will have broader implications, according to Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL).

Palmer, who is the fourth-ranking GOP member of the U.S. House by being House Republican Policy Committee chairman, explained that by taking power away from the bureaucracy, the Supreme Court was forcing the legislative branches of the federal and state government to assume the role of decision-making and law-making during an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5.

U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) has announced the introduction of a bill that would allow states to require proof of citizenship during the voter registration process.

The congressman’s “Citizen Ballot Protection Act” would authorize states to ensure a voter applicant holds United States citizenship by amending the National Voter Registration Act.

Following the introduction of his bill, Palmer issued a statement asserting that it was “common sense” to enable states to require individuals to be a citizen prior to registering them to vote.
