I just listened to the oral arguments in the Indiana voter Id Case. This is very significant as this case is the only voter ID case to reach a federal court of appeals. The Case is 'Indiana Democratic Party v. Rokita'.
The Judges were:
, Posner: Reagen appointee
Terence T. Evans : Clintoon appointee
Diane S. Sykes: 'W' appointee
At least in terms of court composition we have an edge. The Judges seemed to not let the counsel for Indiana get in a word edgewise. But, the Judges seemed to question, how Indiana could prevent voter fraud, and the Democrats had no answer for that. All they said was that Indiana should be going after absentee ballot fraud.

Only about 15 minutes.
The Democrats depend on voter fraud.
Posner is as converative as they get. Good panel.
They better uphold this law, I AM an IN Voter, and I would abohor to have this wonderful law (passed rightfully through our state general assembly) overturned becuase they want to accomodate democratic cheap tricks and shenannigans..
Stop by anytime. Bring pos. I.D .
FYI, in the election coming up the clerk cannot check I.D.s anymore [legally the clerk is not on the precinct election board, but is an employee of the board]. The I.D. must be checked by the inspector, or one of the judges.
The only word counsel for Indiana needs to get in edgewise is "Gary." If room for two words, "Lake County."
