Civil rights lawyers on Wednesday asked a U.S. Supreme Court justice to block a Texas law requiring voters in the state to show certain forms of identification in order to cast a ballot.

Courts ought not lose their senses and make elections meaningless, well, not any more than many already are, at least.

How long does Scalia have to make a decision - 3 weeks?

SCOTUS:

“Why do you need elections? You have us.”

They only want these laws blocked until they can get licenses for all the illegals. That’s their backup plan.

WE have the right to integrity in voting systems. Voter ID is part of that system. Voter ID in no way infringes on the rights of any person.

The only people opposed to voter ID are those WHO INTEND to cheat. Those who oppose voter ID should be disqualified from voting.

With the Robert’s court, who knows?

Perhaps he’ll call it an illegal tax.

And the corrupt communists makeup of the Supreme Court will probably stick their rotten anti-American nose in it and will strike down the voter ID requirement Texas wants.

Clearly a racist organization. They think that minorities are too stupid to figure out how to get an ID. That's insanely racist.

What’s worse? Some lazy legals may not get to vote or thousands of illegal s will vote?

I read the other day 70% of Americans of all flavors approve of voter ID yet the statists continue to try to block these in the name of “disenfranchising” Americans.

As a minority I can tell you this is a huge lie and really no big deal to show ID to vote. The left in this country is trying to pull out all the stops in order to hold on to power in this country. I hope people wake up and punch them in the gut come election time.
