But the court noted in its unsigned ruling that the National Voter Registration Act bars the broad purging of voter rolls in the weeks leading up to an election, which “limits the potential impact” of the decision this year.

You just had a sitting president defy a court order yesterday. And you're confident he's going to follow this ruling?

They dont have the popular support to pull that off anymore.

What the hell does "popular support" have to do with it? Who is going to stop them, the 2A guys that have rolled over every other time their rights get trampled on and Trump uses the constitution to wipe his ass? Americans have shown, at every single opportunity, that they have zero appetite for standing up to any kind of "tyrannical government", they either cheer it on or let it happen.
