Supreme Court Be Damned: DOJ Serves Texas a Lawsuit Over Voter I.D. Law

The denial to let illegals vote must not be allowed, neither must the dead be denied to vote or those who want to vote multiple times /s>

[RIghtwardHo]

Actually, no. Not SCOTUS be damned. This is the provision SCOTUS left intact. So if anyone should be damned, it is SCOTUS for not declaring the entire thing unconstitutional. There is no Constitutional violation here and that is SCOTUS’ fault.

[Slyfox]

Obama is sticking it to us Texans.

[MeganC]

“Texas will stand its ground in San Antonio – that’s a promise.”

Hopefully this turns out better than the last time someone said that.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Translation: Rats love voter fraud and aren’t about to give it up easily.

[Aliska]

Damn hypocrites. They don’t want it because they’ll get more votes without it. You can bet that if there were a sudden swing in Republican votes getting around voter fraud, you’d have to have a passport, microchip, driver’s license, eye scan, finger prints, secret password encrypted, that’s enough.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Democrats have a civil right to steal elections.

[GraceG]

Needed to buy guns, liquor, etc etc....

But it is racist to ask for one for voting purposes...

Because our voters are too stupid to get IDs - The Democrat Party

“Today’s action marks another step forward in the In-Justice Department’s continuing effort to protect usurp the voting rights of all eligible Americans,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement accompanying the announcement of the lawsuit.

DOJ is trying to delay the state’s voter ID law by bogging it down in court ,so it’s out of the 2014 elections

[EricT.]

Because our voters are too stupid or criminal to get IDs - The Democrat Party

There. Fixed it for you.

[Dubh_Ghlase]

So, the head law enforcement agency in the federal government, charged with enforcing the laws of the land, now state they will not do so because they (or someone pulling their strings) don't like the states passing laws they don't like (even if the SC agrees with the law).

"We will not allow the Supreme Court’s recent decision to be interpreted as open season for states to pursue measures that suppress voting rights."

It's not your decisions whether to "allow" or not! Damn it! Enforce the laws!!! That's WHAT YOU'RE THERE FOR!!!

[massgopguy]

DOJ determines what interpretation of a decision is? SCOTUS does that. Slap DOJ with an injunction.

[Venturer]

This is what we get for having a black President.

We is in charge now.

How many times did I hear that when working under black supervisors.

[Kaslin]

Yeah, but it went 5 to 4 which means the conservatives voted against the DOJ and Kennedy voted with the liberals, and I am sure you did not expect Sotomayor, Breyer, Kagan and Bader-Ginsburg to vote with the right.

[Kaslin]

Of course they do. It’s the only way they win elections

[Kaslin]

It’s the liberal logic

[P-Marlowe]

Today’s action marks another step forward in the Justice Department’s continuing effort to protect the voting rights of all eligible Americans,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement

Every time an illegal alien votes or a dead person votes or a person votes multiple times, it diminishes the voting rights of every person who is legitimately eligible to vote.

If the DOJ were interested in protecting the rights of ELIGIBLE voters, they would take every step necessary to ensure that everyone who actually voted was ELIGIBLE. Instead they are ensuring that ineligible voters will have no problems illegally voting.
