Justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg, writing for the court, said even though only eligible voters are supposed to cast ballots, elected officials represent all people within their districts, and it is that act of representation, not the election itself, that the boundaries are drawn to.
“As the Framers of the Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment comprehended, representatives serve all residents, not just those eligible or registered to vote,” she wrote. “Nonvoters have an important stake in many policy debates — children, their parents, even their grandparents, for example, have a stake in a strong public-education system — and in receiving constituent services, such as help navigating public-benefits bureaucracies.”
Illegal aliens should not get any benefits funded by tax dollars - BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY - but since they do, we need to count them - and the elected official represent them too. Who knew? ******* unanimous. WTF. This uber-validates Obama's strategy of piping in as many illegals and "refugees" as he can, and you bet your *** this admin is making sure they are getting planted in the right places of the country for maximum political impact.
