That was sarcasm, for folks who aren't regular readers - I'm not really shocked.

9th U.S. Circuit: GOP lawmakers acted with discriminatory intent when adopting new AZ voting laws
A federal appeals court concluded there is evidence Arizona legislators acted with discriminatory intent when they approved some 2022 laws requiring proof of citizenship to vote.
In a 79-page ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said federal law decides who can vote in federal elections. And that, wrote Judge Ronald Gould for the majority, supersedes legislation approved by Republican lawmakers to deny a ballot to those without such proof.
In many ways, Tuesday's ruling is not a surprise. It affirms what U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton concluded two years ago.
"Acted with discriminatory intent" is judge-speak for "you're full of shit", but because of their wish to adhere to their profession's decorum, they couldn't say that directly. I'm not a professional, so I can -
The GOPS in the AZ legislature were (and usually are) full of shit.
As judges are also trained attorneys, it took them 79 pages to be tactful.
I recommend reading the entire article - there are good parts of the article; too many to cite here.
