House Speaker Decries Supreme Court Decision on Voter IDs

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) called the Supreme Court’s decision on Indiana’s voter identification law “undemocratic.” The law requires voters to show a valid photo ID in order to obtain a ballot.

“The Court’s decision places obstacles to the fundamental rights of the people, especially the ignorant, the undocumented, and the inanimate—the very people whose circumstances tend to impede their ability to register or cast a vote,” Pelosi complained. “The right to vote is a foundation of our democracy. Everyone who wishes to vote must be allowed to do so.”

Pelosi predicted that the ruling would “reduce 2008 voter turnout and permit a narrowly defined clique of established citizens to determine the outcome, resulting in another four years of Republican misrule.”

Oh, woe is us, all this exceedingly poor judgment not participating in choosing our representatives!

What we need is poll tests, "Do you know who you are choosing among? What their policies are? Whether they have upheld the Constitution or not during public service?" Etc.
