Sick.

"Poor" people can't scrape up $50 a YEAR to pay the license/ID fee? Give me a BREAK!

That's what this ruling is, I'm sure. It's for "fear of disenfranchising the financially poor voter, that can't afford an ID".

Where's the puke bucket?

It would cut into their budget for cigarettes, beer and potato chips. They might have to select a less expect cable TV package or choose a 32" HDTV instead of the 60" one they really deserve.

I'll bet the poor have no problem coming up with some form of ID to get welfare benefits. Oh wait. I forgot we provide those to noncitizens.

I know the constitution says all men are created equal, but aren't certain rights limited to CITIZENS?

The best argument against the voter ID so far...is the cost of getting this state-produced ID. So I'd like to eliminate this argument very quickly. Set a 1-cent tax on every pack of smokes sold in America. If you figure that a smoker goes through at least 3 packs a week...we can generate this sum of funding to just make it a free card. When the court argues that its unfair that smokers pay for the card...we'll agree...its also unfair that any smoker pays for any tax revenue...cancel all tobacco taxes period. Cost should never be an argument.

For those who want to debate rights of the non-citizens...the last time I looked...only citizens could vote. I believe some fellows actually met back in 1776 and actually wrote that down somewhere.
