Kobach Sanctioned By Court

"Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been fined $1,000 for misleading a federal court in an effort to keep two documents private.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit last year against Kobach arguing that his state's proof of citizenship law violates the National Voter Registration Act. ACLU lawyers asked Kobach to produce two documents they said pertained to the case.

One of those documents was a draft of a proposed amendment to the National Voter Registration Act. The second was a document that had been photographed and widely shared in late November after Kobach met with then-President-elect Donald Trump. The power of a zoom lens exposed certain details of his proposal to Trump to deport potential terrorists.

In a 24-page ruling made public Friday, U.S. Magistrate Judge James O'Hara wrote that Kobach did not accurately represent the contents of the documents when he argued against producing them." LA Times

The Crosscheck dude runs afoul of the bench for being a liar. I hope the Kansas bar takes action but I'm not holding my breath.

It's going to take a lot more than a $1,000 fine to stop sleazeballs like him.

Kobach will turn this into a vendetta by the "over-reaching federal courts" and his base will eat it up. He is running for Governor of Kansas.

That would suck if he wins. Kansans have suffered enough under these RWNJs like Brownback and Kobach.

'Kris Kobach’s Own State Just Defied His Bogus ‘Election Integrity’ Commission' TPM

"The vice chair of President Donald Trump’s shady “election integrity” commission has added his own state to the growing list of states that will not fully comply with the commission’s requests for sensitive voter information."

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...ity-commission

Too funny.

Sorry, but there are too many not so bright who vote!


Present circumstances of the country should be proof enough!


Pence is involved so figure it to be a cluster FK and a fix!
