The U.S. Supreme Court early Saturday denied a last-ditch effort to block the enforcement of Texas' controversial voter ID law in the upcoming elections.
The ruling comes two days before the start of early voting. Election Day is Nov. 4.
Six of the nine justices agreed to deny a request to vacate Tuesdays judgment from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the state could enforce the law. The opinion removes the last traces of uncertainty over whether the law which supporters say prevents voter fraud would be in effect for the start of early voting.

It is so wonderful how the Supreme Court is so gracious to in allowing states to govern their own destiny.
WHO CARES
They use the SC this way, we can use it too
It will definitely play a role in NC.
If Democrats can’t depend on citizens to support them, they turn to the invaders.
“Three justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, dissented with the majority”
Actually, The Supreme Court decided this back in 2008:
“Crawford v. Marion County Election Board”
“Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, 553 U.S. 181 (2008), is a United States Supreme Court case holding that an Indiana law requiring voters to provide photo IDs did not violate the Constitution of the United States.”

Rogue leftist judges allow these cases to go forward ignoring the Supreme Court decision.
Nope. Case law is clear that refusing to hear a case is in no way a ruling on the merits nor can it be cited as such in any legal brief.
"No problem! An illegal alien,
oops, I mean,
undocumented American,
Will Just Need a Gov't-issued
ID card in order to vote.
Death to America!"
I should’ve realized this article is from ONE YEAR AGO. Nothing good has happened in the USSA in the year 2015.
No: The SCOTUS didn’t rule on the merits of the case. They simply decided to not grant a temporary state of the lower court’s ruling. Legally quite different than an actual ruling on a case property before the SCOTUS (SCOTUS hasn’t accepted the case for review.)
Please be careful. This news isn't even relevant any more since the 5th Circuit has since negated much of the law.
And it took FOUR days for us to find out this great news?
Is it for real? Does it really mean what it says it means or is there some legaleze that one clause takes away the other?
Wow, they must have voted on this overnight to prevent their handlers from watching.
Good news!
Why did Breyer, Roberts, and Kennedy vote with the majority? Are they trying to counter-blackmail the Dementocrats?
Now that’s funny right there...
Why is this one year old article (2014) being posted now?
Which ones? Aren’t all four of them dykes?
Connecticut won’t abide by that ruling.....
