THE Supreme Court of the United States agreed with the North Carolina state legislature was CORRECT ,in claiming that the state's Democrat Attorney General, who opposed the duly enacted Voter ID law, would not adequately defend it in Federal court.
The legislature will now be permitted to represent it's OWN CASE in Federal court. The law ,which mandates photo ID to vote, was vetoed by the Democrat governor there, but the VET WAS OVERRODE ny the GOP Legislature.
Leftist operatives , such as the ACLU (etal), then filed suit, knowing that tne state's AG was sympathetic to their position, in violation of his duty to uphold duly legislated laws, such as the voter ID law.
The "BIG OBJECTION" to the voter Id mandate? WHAT ELSE?
TE USUAL: THE LEFT ,AS ALWAYS, CLAIMS BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE TOO STUPID OR LAZY TO OBTAIN PHOTO IDs....IN 2022.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court gave Republican legislative leaders in North Carolina a win Thursday in a fight over the state's latest photo identification voting law.
The 8-1 decision does not end the three-year-plus dispute over the voter ID law, which is not in effect and has been challenged in state and federal courts. The Supreme Court's ruling just means that the legislative leaders can intervene in the federal case to defend the law. A lower court had ruled the lawmakers' interests were being adequately represented by the state's attorney general, Democrat Josh Stein.
North Carolina voters amended the state constitution in 2018 to include a voter ID mandate. Lawmakers then passed the law at issue in the case to put in place the change. The law requires voters to show a photo ID to vote — a driver's license, a passport or certain student and local government identifications.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote: “Through the General Assembly, the people of North Carolina have authorized the leaders of their legislature to defend duly enacted state statutes against constitutional challenge. Ordinarily, a federal court must respect that kind of sovereign choice, not assemble presumptions against it.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented.
Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the measure, but lawmakers overrode it. The state NAACP and several local chapters immediately sued in federal court to halt enforcement, arguing that the law discriminates against Black and Latino voters in violation of the U.S. Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act.
North Carolina's House speaker, Tim Moore, and Senate leader, Phil Berger — both Republicans — wanted to intervene in the federal case to defend the law alongside lawyers for the state, saying Stein would not adequately fight for the law. A federal judge said no, that lawmakers' interests were being adequately defended by lawyers in Stein's agency. A three-judge federal appeals court panel ruled for the lawmakers before the full federal appeals court reversed the decision, ruling 9-6 that lawmakers should not be allowed to intervene.
Berger praised the Supreme Court ruling, saying that previous opposition by Stein and Cooper to voter ID had resulted in “intentionally sandbagging” the law’s defense.
“North Carolinians overwhelmingly support voter ID, and they deserve nothing less than the strongest representation from those who would uphold the will of the voters and our constitution, not a tepid defense by an attorney general who has a record of opposing voter ID,” Moore said in a news release.

WHY DO RACE-O-CRATS ALWAYS DECLARE BLACKS AND HISPANICS AS TOO STUPID TO OBTAIN PHOTO IDs?
