Democrat judicial appointees may be relied upon to remain partisan political operatives throughout their terms on the bench. Democrats apply political criteria to the selection of judges, Republicans have not traditionally done that.
So is this precedent now?
All States to follow?
Wow, Stephen Breyer went along with the majority. He’s still a guaranteed liberal vote but every once in awhile he get’s it right.
Ping. Haven’t looked for earlier threads yet.
There, fixed it.
The unbridled bias of this federal judge drips from the above statement (when uncorrected.)
Texas voters, do not be prompted for your ID. Waive it proudly and THANK your poll worker for making you produce it.
With the thousands of illegals coming into Texas, I’m sure the Dems wanted to march them all to the polls without IDs and demand they vote. This law goes a long way to prevent that.
“which had prevented Texas and eight other states with histories of discrimination from changing election laws without permission”
60 years ago, yes in some cases. Meanwhile we now have rampant fraud in Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire, Philadelphia, Ohio etc... and that’s just fine.
And if we are stuck in 1950/60s fraud, anybody ever hear of a place called “Chicago” around 1960?
OK, I am stunned! Happy as Hell, but stunned the liberal anti-American court would rules this way. This is a MAJOR win on the road to stopping illegal aliens from voting and Democrats from illegally casting votes for non-existent people, dead people, voting multiple times, etc.
“...controversial new voter identification law”
The law was passed in 2011, there is NOTHING NEW about it. It is not the fault of lawmakers that some hack judge waited until October, 2014 to make a ruling.
But things didn’t turn out her way, she was hoping for more replacements on the Supreme Court by now, but that hasn’t worked out, and she couldn’t even hold one of the liberals, for that matter.
We have a VERY SICK Judicial System. In a country with a functioning judiciary, she would be impeached for this stunt.
The Democratic Presidential Convention requires photo I.D.s. Can't they just take peoples word for it?
Texas will have a FAIR ELECTION now, which means that Dan Patrick will soon be running the show.
I assume it will not be very hard for reporters to find some of those supposed 600,000 people that somehow manage to live legally in this country, have a legal right to vote, but don’t have any ID to prove such.
I will be EAGERLY awaiting the names of histories of these people...
That is good news but just because they lost in the Supreme Court doesn’t mean they will stop trying.
They never give up. Only “our side” surrenders.
I’m wondering how a judge arrives at a poll tax from a free voter ID?

The reporting on this is remarkable fact-free.
That makes NO SENSE. It's non-sense.
...despite a lower courts ruling that the law unfairly targets minorities....
***
Well, it does target a minority, since having to produce ID incoveniences the minority that vote multiple times.
