An en banc ruling of the Fifth Circuit has issued a stay against last Fridays order striking down Texas voter identification laws.
The Court looked at four key factors when deciding whether or not to grant a stay pending appeal: (1) whether the stay applicant has made a strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will substantially injure the other parties interested in the proceeding; and (4) where the public interest lies.
The first two factors are the most important, and the court focused on them when deciding to issue the stay. First, the court looked to the Supreme Courts tendency to preserve the status quo on the eve of an election in order to protect the process from confusion and misapplication of the rules.
Here, the district courts decision on October 11, 2014 presents similar logistical problems because it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the State to adequately train its 25,000 polling workers at 8,000 polling places about the injunctions new requirements in time for the start of early voting on October 20 or even election day on November 4. The State represents that it began training poll workers in mid-September, and at least some of them have already completed their training. The State also represents that it will be unable to reprint the election manuals that poll workers use for guidance, and so the election laws will be conveyed by word of mouth alone.(continued)

I note that you are seemingly unfamiliar with the current state of Social Security Disability payments quite beyond the scope of the retirement benefits of social security.
The government is not obliged to treat adult citizens as though they are helpless children unable to do anything for themselves. Have you ever been to Court Day in downtown Camden, NJ or any other Democrat cesspool?
I'll have to plead ignorance. My minimal knowledge of welfare programs comes from a cursory search after someone suggested that, for low income families, welfare programs in some states paid better than working. It seems that pols are ever-creative with other people's money.
If I had my druthers, able-bodied adult recipients of welfare benefits who hadn't paid in would be required to do some work or forfeit the right to vote. I'd also make voting contingent upon having paid some minimum amount of federal income taxes. But then again, I don't make the rules. This judicial straitjacket we live under will continue until we make federal judgeships elective positions for fixed terms (say, 10 years).
Good news at any rate.
W-w-w-ell....Yes! Of course. All such permutations are taken into account before I post anything.
Riiiighht. That's the ticket.
AR Supremes voted down our voter ID law today! Seems Mark Pryor needs some help from the Illegals to pull out a victory!!
When???
I do not think they’ll step into this pile of poop until way after the election...Too many other states are being hammered about this right now as well...
Which would lend itself to a pre-determination that this is a “states rights” issue...
If they want another civil war, then they are adding fuel to the potential fire...
Which is not very surprising to most who are paying attention...
I was going to continue to instruct my clerks and ask for Photo ID anyway...Regardless...
What are they gonna do to me???
The purpose is still not to establish positive ID, it is to ensure the poll books I reference the registered voters in my precinct are correct and up to date...
If you do not have a photo ID, and or refuse to ID yourself sufficiently, then I will certainly allow you to vote anyway...It will be done under a “provisional” procedure that is well established and accepted by all political parties...
At the end of the day it is unlikely to be even addressed, or counted, but who is really messing this up anyway???
Not me...I follow the rule of law, not an interpretation (made by a biased justice) timed to help a particular left-wing political agenda...
Everyone can come to my precinct and vote, as early and often as possible...Just be ready to be arrested, charged, and go to prison for defrauding an election...
Easy Breezy!!! Lemon Squeezy!!! (As my wife would say)
