Why don't folk start resisting the requirement to show ID to rent a DVD, to board and airplane, to cash a check, to make a purchase at certain national store chains, to register a vehicle, etc., etc. IF is is discrimination to demand an ID for voting - one of the most sacred of American institutions - then it certainly is most racist to demand an ID to rent a DVD, or sign up for a credit card.

What does one do when courts render decisions so blatantly illogical and distorted? Are government entities obligated to comply with utter nonesense?

Ya can’t even sign your kid up to play Little League baseball without a birth certificate.

Our court system has become lawless, too. . . Ted Cruz ought to make the claim on the campaign trail that the Democrats are responsible for our current lawless court system. . . because they are.

They’re giving away our country and we’re just sitting around dithering and keyboarding.

In order to enter the Federal Courthouse, both in the District Court and the Appellate Court, guess what the plaintiffs in this case had to do?

If you answered: “Show photo ID,” congratulations. You win a cookie.

No, in most cases they passed the test. They are so perverted
they are easily compromised. Ever wonder why so many politicians
are closet faggs, pedophiles, drunkards and womanizers? That’s
because the establishment prefers that they be easily
compromised so
they can be controlled.

Abbott should just declare Texas a “sanctuary state” where federal laws are null and void.

Fantastic point. The question I have is whether any of these solicitor generals ( or whatever ) had the sense to argue that to the judges: "Your honor, the state is demanding nothing more than the same security that this very court employs at its front door, and at airports, and at state legislatures".

Furthermore, unlike the enemy who never lets up, our guys when they lose these simple cases always fail to walk out in front of the courthouse to the waiting cameras and make a statement like: "We are extremely disappointed with the double-standard displayed by judge 'so-and-so'. They have displayed wanton hypocrisy in demanding photo ID before you can enter their courtroom but denying it to the taxpaying and voting public. As they are clearly 'discriminating against the poor with this requirement we are asking the state legislature to begin immediate impeachment proceedings".

Of course that would require both a working frontal lobe and a pair of ~ahem~ stones.

The Supreme Court didn't even say anything in this 2014 case since they said it all in a previous decision a few years earlier.

"Supreme Court Allows Texas to Use Strict Voter ID Law in Coming Election"

OCT. 18, 2014

"WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Saturday allowed Texas to use its strict voter identification law in the November election. The court’s order, issued just after 5 a.m., was unsigned and contained no reasoning. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a six-page dissent saying the court’s action “risks denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters.” "

The majority opinion that is.
