Good idea. Nobody's done that shit for years. Dance times have changed. (Illustration from 1949 https://t.co/d1Jzv9FEES) pic.twitter.com/RfVqosP5jq— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
As I suspected, U Kentucky doesn't offer an interpretive dance major at all. https://t.co/uud7Bu75wq Governor can stop worrying about it.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
And in some possibly more serious news that almost got interesting for a few minutes,
For fuck's sake, Dinesh, the constitutional rights of undocumented aliens are well known https://t.co/4UPo4zELWI— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Noncitizen voting was totally normal in 19th century. Then Trumpy types got involved and by 1931 it was mostly over. https://t.co/qpcW5YjFbj pic.twitter.com/npvLnI7sJQ— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Which article is that that spells out the rights of noncitizens? I seem to have missed it.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Not quite. Article II 1/5 says a noncitizen can't be president, and Article I 2 and 3 say the same for Reps and Senators. But that's all.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
You have to go to 14h amendment to learn anything about citizens' rights vs. noncitizens rights. https://t.co/YWjQyhAGgF— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017

For voting rights you need to go to 1965 Voting Rights Act, which says states and municipalities cannot deprive citizens of voting rights.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Nothing says a state or municipality can't GIVE voting rights to noncitizens. They can, and some have.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Women property owners in New Jersey could vote, lost it in 1807. All male citizens didn't have constitutional right to vote until 1869.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
And 24 other states if they announced intention of getting citizenship, to as late as 1924. https://t.co/Ni7ko86WlI— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
States are allowed to stop noncitizens from voting if they want and allowed to give them voting rights if they want. Never been an issue.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
It is true. Foreigners in Montgomery County MD have been voting in some cases almost a century https://t.co/Ni7ko86WlI Why isn't it stopped?— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
You are relying on what the Constitution doesn't say. It says nothing on noncitizens. You interpret that to mean noncitizens have no rights.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Noncitizens in 13 states could vote at the time Constitution was written, https://t.co/Ni7ko86WlI Why didn't Constitution say something?— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
Wrong. Look at the article (where every statement is referenced to a vetted paper publication).— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
That's adieu. Learn to spell. Buona notte.— Yastreblyansky (@Yastreblyansky) September 16, 2017
