did anyone provide evidence of a black man or hispanic who could not get an ID?

Or did they just IMAGINE they were too stupid or lazy to be able to get one

This ruling is an outrage on several fronts. Firstly, those same "poor" need photo ID to get food stamps (SNAP), WIC, Medicaid, and other social programs.

It is only an outrage to anyone who actually pays net income taxes. What this court ruling says is that it believes blacks and hispanics are too stupid and too lazy to figure out how to get a photo ID in the case where there isn't a government check involved.

Someday, well after it is too late, people will realize the government has turned against us and, as it is no longer constrained by the Constitution, we will be on the losing end of more and more court rulings until there is nothing left but a hammer and sickle flag.

What the courts and dems are saying to all minorities, you are too damned stupid and lazy to get an ID. That must play well on the dem plantation.

We need to Alinsky the defenders of vote fraud. They need to have names well publicized, photos widely distributed. We need to make them the issue.

Where impeachment is a possibility, we should use it.

The Left saw years ago that the most direct way to transition America to Marxism was through the courts. Over the past 50 years they've worked relentlessly to pack the court system with partisans. It's working. Even if this decision is ultimately overturned it'll be after the elections.

Liberals don't need to imagine that blacks and Hispanics are stupid or lazy -- they already believe it to their very core.

Can’t Texas LEGALLY refuse to comply with the Federal Court’s ruling on the grounds it violates and ignored a higher court’s (SCOTUS) ruling?

They want you to show an ID in Virginia to protect black voting rights.

No idea what this particular court is up to but they ain't right in the haid!

I find it fascinating that the lower federal courts totally disregard the supreme court on this issue.

If this were a person in court acting like this the court find their conduct contumacious (total disregard for the order of the court) and hold them in contempt.

I present my driver's license each time I vote. Invariably, the old lady who checks you in says, "Oh we don't need that."
Invariably, my response is, "And why is that?"

Deer-in-the-headlights blank stares ensue.

Well, they have to have an ID to cash their welfare checks at Walmart, to cross the border into Mexico, or to get on an airplane. Are these discriminatory practices?

This is the Voter Fraud Preservation Decision. However, TX Attorney General Greg Abbott is heading straight for the Supreme Court with this case, where everyone knew it would wind up. We’ll see whether this discriminatory ruling against the state of Texas will stand.

The court is racist.

They don’t believe blacks and Hispanics can follow the law.

How does the court think they get jobs, housing cars or bank accounts? Try getting any of these without a picture ID.

Don’t complain too much. This MIGHT be an opportunity to get out from under the “Voting Rights” Act that takes control of elections away from the Southern states.

All the self-righteous blather about ‘poll tax’ is amusing when you consider the nearly infinite number of taxes paid on phone bills, heating, etc. - the poor aren’t exempt from these. IDs are offered free.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the judges left the law way behind them, moved past judicial activism, and are now self-appointed social engineers.

Who are the judges, where do they live. This needs to be posted for all of America to be able to appropriately respond.
