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.

If that is unconstitutional, then why do I need a drivers license, military I’d card, SSN card, etc etc?

Nullify! Who cares what a federal judge says? TX is a sovereign state. Enforce you laws, TX.

If we don’t need an ID to vote, why do we need an ID to check out library books?

My sister-in-law used to be a substitute teacher in the Dallas Schools. One day she walked past some hispanic teachers and heard one of them say...”WE are taking back TEXAS, one baby at a time!”

SIL now lives in Arkansas.

Sounds like he's a racist.

Definitely doesn't deserve to be a judge.

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn (R-Texas) released the following statements today after the Senate approved the nomination of Nelva Gonzales Ramos to serve as district judge for the Southern District in Corpus Christi, Texas.

“I am pleased the Senate recognized Judge Ramos’ outstanding qualifications and has confirmed her for this important post in the Southern District of Texas. She has extensive judicial experience as a municipal and district court judge and her credentials and breadth of experience will serve her well on the federal bench in Corpus Christi,” said Hutchison.

“I’m pleased that the Senate last night unanimously confirmed Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos to be U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Texas. Judge Ramos was a consensus recommendation that was supported by Democrats and Republicans in Corpus Christi. Her experience as a trial judge in Texas and reputation for impartiality and fairness will be essential ingredients in her life tenure on the federal bench,” said Cornyn.

This is another Obama appointed judge trying to crush the right of the people to verify who is voting. I wonder why. The democrats keep seeking to allow people to cheat by opposing voter ID. Otherwise, they are afraid they cannot win.

It should be as onerous to vote as it is to buy a handgun.
