The majority opinion reached this conclusion. It did not say it's unconstitutional to ask a registering voter for proof of citizenship. Far from it. It said that Based on the text of the 1993 NVRA as passed by Congress, that the text, as a matter of statutory interpretation, preempts, prohibits any state using the NVRA form added DMV from asking any driver's license applicant simultaneously registering to vote to also establish citizenship. That, Madam President, is a statutory conclusion, one that we are free to change. It is not a constitutional mandate. It is far from a constitutional mandate. (36:00–36:30)
