Isn’t this the first time the Ford pick has ever taken the conservative stand on anything? Before he died, Ford said that Stevens was his greatest “achievement”.
Isn’t this just common sense? How is this keeping any honest citizen from voting? What honest person who’s registered to vote does not have at least one form of photo ID, probably in his wallet on hand all the time? We have to show a photo to get on a plane, cash a check, use a credit card, etc. No one seems to believe that is unconstitutional.
Hmm. A 6-3 decision is ‘splintered’ for this discredited NYT hanger-on. I’d call it aslam dunk.
Hopefully, a lawsuit is working its way thru the system regarding absentee voting which requires no ID. Onviously, the Dims are going to turn to that route now.
I don't like Florida's acceptance of “student ID’s” as sufficient identification for voting. I assume, like most other states, they have foreign students. How do they determine citizenship by a student ID?
Oklahoma doesn't have a voter ID law yet, but I have started showing mine as my own personal protest in favor of such a law.
If the courts keep this up, I may start considering my now worthless vote as being worth something again.

This will hurt Hillary because it will severely limit cheating. And who knows, if the idea spreads dead people might quit voting in Chicago.
Astounding.
How did the constitutional illiterates at the Supreme Court manage to render such an obviously correct ruling?

And what in heck is that third paragraph about?
No, splintered is a good description.
The opinions were 3-3-2-1.
There was a 3 vote majority opinion.
Another 3 vote block who concurred with the majority.
A two vote dissenting block.
and a one vote dissenting block.
I concur.
This is really going to mess things up for the rats.
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She rejected as utterly incredible and unreliable an experts report that up to 989,000 registered voters in Indiana did not possess either a drivers license or other acceptable photo identification. Id., at 803. She estimated that as of 2005, when the statute was enacted, around 43,000 Indiana residents lacked a state-issued drivers license or identification card. Id., at 807.6

From time to time, Ill ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
It’ll get overturned.
As it is now, all current and prospective politicians have to do is hang out at the local 7-11 and see what they look like, and then SAY what they might want, to get elected.
God knows we can’t make politicians pay attention to things like “Who is a natural born American” or “How many of these people even understand the English language, not much less speak it”
even if it doesn’t get overturned, it’s 2 late. Think I should skip the Hable Espanol part and go right to the Mandarin.
