It's NOT Difficult to Tell How the AP Feels About SCOTUS' Ruling on Verifying Voter Citizenship

As we told you earlier, in a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration on verifying voter citizenship:

The Supreme Court has given the Trump administration a green light to use a federal citizenship database to verify voters ahead of the midterm elections. 

In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court, for now, lifted a lower court order that blocked the Department of Homeland Security from expanding a 40-year-old immigration database -- known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system -- to help states screen voter records for noncitizens.

We'll warm up with CNN's offering about "a controversial citizenship data collection tool" that is only controversial if you're a Democrat that doesn't want anybody purging noncitizens from voter rolls. 

"Controversial"? Please.

Oh, they'll go off alright, and so will the Democrats. 

However, the Associated Press really swung for the "journalism" fences with a sentence that's in their story: 

Yep, it's right there at the top of the AP's story:

The Supreme Court on Friday lifted restrictions on a controversial federal voter database before November’s elections, granting President Donald Trump a temporary win in his aggressive campaign against noncitizen voting.

It's the AP, so we shouldn't be surprised that it sounds like the DNC wrote that. 

It's cheating to want to eliminate the possibility of the Democrats cheating, or something.
