A federal judge is ordering Texas to immediately drop its voter ID law after she found it unconstitutional.
In a court filing Saturday, U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzalez Ramos of Corpus Christi issued a permanent and final injunction against the law, one of the toughest of its kind in the country.
A day earlier, the state had asked for clarification about whether law would be in place for the upcoming elections in November.
Gonzalez Ramos last week ruled the law was illegal, equating it to a “poll tax” that unfairly targets minority voters.

Then maybe all of us conservatives need to register to vote in Texas since all the illegal aliens are doing so.
Great. So those teachers are happy that Texas will follow Mexico’s stellar economic growth?
Sarc.
Aztlán Movement
The concept of Aztlán as the place of origin of the pre-Columbian Mexican civilization has become a symbol for various Mexican nationalist and indigenous movements.
The name Aztlán was first taken up by a group of Chicano independence activists led by Oscar Zeta Acosta during the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s. They used the name Aztlán to refer to the lands of Northern Mexico that were sold to the United States as a result of the Mexican-American War. Aztlán became a symbol for mestizo activists who believe they have a legal and primordial right to the land. In order to exercise this right, some members of the Chicano movement propose that a new nation be created, a República del Norte.[6]
Aztlán is also the name of the Chicano studies journal published out of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.
Movements that advocate Aztlán
Brown Berets
MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, “Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán”)
Nation of Aztlán
Plan Espiritual de Aztlán
Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which calls for self-determination for the Chicano nation in Aztlan up to and including the right to secession.[7]
In fiction
Aztlán has been used as the name of speculative fictional future states that emerge in the southwest U.S. or Mexico after the central U.S. government suffers collapse or major setback; examples appear in such works as the novels Warday (1984), by Whitley Strieber and James Kunetka; The Peace War (1984), by Vernor Vinge; The House of the Scorpion (2002), by Nancy Farmer; and World War Z (2006), by Max Brooks; as well as the role-playing game Shadowrun, in which the Mexican government was usurped by the Aztechnology Corporation (1989). In Gary Jennings’ novel Aztec (1980), the protagonist resides in Aztlán for a while, later facilitating contact between Aztlán and the Aztec Triple Alliance just before Hernán Cortés’ arrival.
In Michael Flynn’s alternate-history story “The Forest of Time” (1987), Colorado is part of a nation-state called Nuevo Aztlán.
Thomas Pynchon refers to Aztlan as the “mythic ancestral home of the Mexican people” in his novel Against the Day (2006).
Charles de Lint, in his novel The Painted Boy (2010), refers to the ancestral spirit world as Aztlán.
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle set much of their fantasy novel Burning Tower in Aztlán.

“...now let [her] enforce it.”
You know we will be told we are raysis for even asking.

Make this judge afraid to sleep.
Where does IT live?
What car does IT drive?
This does not stand.
Not now.
Not ever.
Folks, this. Is war.
Do not obey.
If they do this then no one should show ID.
Just refuse to show it and demand to vote.
If millions of people rufuse to show ID Democrats would back down because they would have no way of tracking who is voting where and for whom or if they are voting in more than one district. How would anyone find out if you did?
Call their bluff. Refuse to show ID
Tell the FEDERAL judge that voting is a STATE issue and to go F$^@ himself....
What is Aztlan, Raza, and MEChA?
http://www.mayorno.com/WhoIsMecha.html
The acronym MEChA stands for “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan.” or “Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan.”
MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as “Mechistas,” romanticize Mexican claims to the “lost Territories” of the Southwestern United States — a Chicano country called Aztlan. In its national constitution, MEChA calls for self-determination by its members to liberate Aztlan. MEChA’s national constitution starts out: “Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán.”
These anti-American “Mechistas” live with the false illusion that they are being racially discriminated against because they are Latinos while totally dismissing the idea that maybe it is their ideology that is being discriminated against.
At the MEChA National Conference on March 15 - 18, 2001, the official “MEChA Philosophy” was ratified. An excerpt from the document states: “as Mechistas, we vow to work for the liberation of Aztlan.”
The MEChA Clubs on each of the Santa Barbara high school campuses are not the only ones. MEChA groups exist on 90 percent of the public high school, college and university campuses in the Southwestern United States.
Why hasn’t Greg Abbott already issued an emergency appeal to the SCOTUS, as the ACLU did to get the Wisconsin law suspended pending resolution of the absentee ballot issue?
The world is upside down.
We should not check ID when black people shop or fly on planes. How dare people with darker skin be treated the same as the lowly white.
Take note of this judge, another part of the communists empire.
Wait for it... Wait for it... Wait for it...Go now!
HF
He said he was going to.
Gregg Abbott said he would appeal the ruling of this Marxist b***h.
I wouldn’t bother. I would just ignore her stupid, unconstitutional ruling. What’s Obama gonna do? Invade Texas?
So... Requiring an ID to buy a gun is unconstitutional and imposes an unfair burden on minorities.
