I remember when the case was filed about 18 months ago. The RADICAL JUDGE said that she would hear arguments in September, 2014. Why wait so long? Obvious now, she already had her mind made up and the idea was to time the ruling JUST PERFECTLY so as to be difficult to appeal.

It is SICKENING to see our court system ABUSED this way, and even more sickening to not hear ANYONE (other than me) speak out about it.

Yes, I’m sure they are looking for a hanging (chad)judge as we speak.

“””To get it overturned, they will have to go to the Supreme Court. Zero chance of that happening before the election. This was nothing but a stalling action to begin with. Democrats are going to get their clocks cleaned in November and will likely be in worse shape in 2016 - in Texas, at least.”””

As the saying goes...from your mouth to God’s ears. I hope/pray you are correct :)

You need ID to get EBT, cash checks, sign leases, enter federal/state buildings, get utilities turned on and a plethora of other activities in everyday life. The “dissuade minorities from voting” argument is pure BS.

Not to mention to fly on a commercial airliner or buy pseudoephedrine. Not only is it BS, it's provably so. Show me one leftist who objected to the photo ID requirement for boarding a commercial flight or for buying pseudoephedrine on the grounds that these requirements were racist, or would disproportionately harm minorities and the elderly, when those requirements were put in place, and I'll at least credit that person with making the objection in good faith. I've put this challenge in forums where leftists post, and no one pointed to such a person, or claimed to be such a person.

There’s generally no voter ID for early voting. You fill in the ballot, sign it and mail it in. So, early voting is irrelevant to this issue, unless Texas has a different procedure. The issue I am concerned with is that the next court up the list will swoop in at the last minute and reinstate the injunction. If the decision is announced a couple days before the election, it makes it harder to do that.

That`s what I am thinking, I suspect the Liberal Roberts Court will overturn it any day now.

Dunno if the legal protocol allows it, but maybe WI and the other 3 or 4 states recently stomped under the boot of judicial fascism oughta hotfoot it down to N’Orleans ? !

************

Understand that WI was only barred from using the ID law this election.
The Statute is still in place.

"The Justice Department says more than 600,000 of those voters, mostly blacks and Hispanics, lack eligible ID."

That's preposterous on its face.

I imagine almost all of the 600K that don't have "eligible ID" are in this country illegally.

You supposedly have to be a citizen of the USA to vote in our elections.

"Supposedly" because the politicians have been doing all they can to let illegals vote.

Just another attempt at voter fraud.

I guess Soros couldn't get his voting machines in Texas, so they have to depend on the old fashioned fraud.

The states where Soros counts the votes are all heavily dem wins.

We are getting closer to Mad Max time...WAY Beyond Thunderdome.

The Blacks that they claim don’t have ID are probably felons, who have not had their voting rights restored.

Exactly what I was thinking.

They probably only threw blacks in the mix to defuse from the illegal insurgent criminal invaders that is their main minority voter base. Besides dead dems.

Good point after 9-11 you have to show 5 documents, or a bunch of original documents that add up to so many points each, just to register a car or get a copy of your drivers license.
