Supreme Court: Puerto Ricans Can't Vote

The BBC is reporting:
The US Supreme Court has rejected an attempt to give residents of the territory of Puerto Rico the right to vote in US presidential elections.

Judges threw out the appeal by a group of Puerto Ricans - the latest development in a long-running debate on the islanders' constitutional rights.

Ironic that we can go half way around the world to impose democracy in the Middle East, but deny it in our own back yard.
