Supreme Court Rules Texas Can Enforce Voter ID Law

The U.S. Supreme Court early Saturday denied a last-ditch effort to block the enforcement of Texas' controversial voter ID law in the upcoming elections.

The ruling comes two days before the start of early voting. Election Day is Nov. 4.

Six of the nine justices agreed to deny a request to vacate Tuesday’s judgment from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the state could enforce the law. The opinion removes the last traces of uncertainty over whether the law — which supporters say prevents voter fraud — would be in effect for the start of early voting.

So VOTER ID IS NOW LEGAL IN ALL 50 STATES, right?

This is how they 'ruled' that gay marriage was legal.

The problem: 3 justices think it is wrong to have an ID. Who are they?

EXCELLENT point. Take THAT, illegal alien Dem operatives! They’ll STILL show their driver’s licenses if they get them in Texas which I’m not sure about that.

You mean the Supreme Court did the bare minimum expected of them for a free country’s survival? Color me surprised.

At least it’s not hanging on by the precarious 5-4 thread like so much is.

I beleive the Supreme Court decided this in 2010. There are rogue leftist judges who ignore the Supreme Court decision time and time again.

No, this was a 5th Circuit ruling not a USSC ruling. The USSC merely refused to overturn the 5th Circuit ruling.

Oh! you are so precious!

Liberal Supreme Court Playbook:

A decision in your favor is a decision that is unconditionally settled!

A decision NOT in your favor is a decision that is not yet settled!

Which is de facto ruling by SCOTUS.

Requiring photo ID is “racist,” except when it’s done by Obama, the NAACP, unions, or any other liberals:
