Washington Post ^ | 8/22/2013 | Aaron Blake

The U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday that it will challenge Texas’s Voter ID law, saying it violates the Voting Rights Act, as well as the Constitution’s 14th and 15th Amendments. (snip) The department’s complain[t] alleges that the Texas Voter ID law “was adopted with the purpose, and will have the result, of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group.”

When voter ID and open primary voting is addressed, we know Texas is still to be taken seriously, but boy have we been infiltrated. Texas still has the same blinders on as does the nation on Education, Common Core and generations of Marxist curriculum, beginning Monday, when the doors open down the block.

What pol has e even addressed this. Not. One. Person.

Texas should sue Holder and his DOJ for harassment or for filing a frivolous lawsuit since the SCOTUS has already determined in April 2008 that State's Voter ID laws ARE Constitutional.

Can Texas appeal directly to SCOTUS to have the lawsuit thrown out due to SCOTUS' April 2008 ruling?

This is an insult that I’d like to see Gov. Rick to address this to the National media in a very angry manner. Specifically to the Obama and Holder; tell them apologize first and drop your lawsuit second. Let ‘em know that we want HONEST elections not the games played across the nation in 2012.

15A says: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.”

The 2A says the very same thing about weapons yet we need not only ID’s but background checks and mental checks, etc. WTF!

In a way I’m hoping the courts support the DOJ on this then we have precedent to knock off government interference with our 2A rights.

The list of government buildings, offices and functions that require a Photo ID is a very long one.

If you get subpoenad to appear in a federal court, do not present ID. If they won’t let you in, sue the DOJ for infringing on your civil rights.

I think the DOJ suit is all about publicity, not law. In the court, they will have their butts handed to them. Politically, it will be used as “proof” that racist America hates blacks...

If this is the official position of the Federal Government, then they better re-evaluate the policies of the TSA.

Absolutely my FRiend. And I believe the intent also is to keep the issue tied up in court to retain liberal gerrymandering to their advantage in 2014. This is how I ended up in the detestable Wendy Davis' state senate district. It's all good for them.

Is Eric Holder also suing the IRS for suppressing the Republican vote by stonewalling tax-exempt status apps submitted by conservative groups? Crickets?

I’ve always thought Hillary is a serious high ranking witch. Way into occult; The whole bunch are into this stuff at some level and have opened pathways for possession. Hitler was way into theosophy and the occult and homoperversion has always been endemic alongside of tyranny. The government and media have always chosen to hide that aspect of Hitler’s Third Reich and Richard Wurmbrandt wrote a book about Marx and his occultic connections.

Islamic world has a huge amount of issues surrounding possession and jinns and talisman’s to ward off evil and the like.
