Under the reserved powers of the Constitutution, elections are to be conducted by the states. IMO, in order for the Feds to step in, they must prove that the state law is a violation of CIVIL rights. The Feds are claiming the State of Texas has to prove a negative. That’s not the way it works. Gov. Perry should indeed tell Holder to stick it.

I’m beginning to believe these fundraisers are bogus. They’re getting their money from only a few sources. It was probably whispered to everyone at the fundraiser “You don’t have to pay. But don’t tell anyone else.”

It does discriminate against illegal Hispanic voters.

About 11 percent of Hispanic voters reportedly lack state-issued identification
Perry should shove it back and ask to show where its discrimination. What is the basis DOJs claim?
Go get an ID if they want to vote. Men and women paid the ultimate price to give and defend citizens the right to vote.

They tried the same thing in GA. We told them to kiss our grits. I just had to show ID to vote on March 6th.

So can a hispanic college student refuse to show an id at the bar?

Kinda goes back to states rights doesn’t it? Interesting concept that they don’t understand states rights. It’s a well known fact though that if you want to control the federal government, you have to control your individual states.

The time has passed where we comply and cooperate with tyrants. Expect Perry to tell them to shove it. We need some open resistance and soon.I agree, Rita. Hope we hear from Gov. Perry soon. This is outrageous...

By what authority do they “block” this law? This is a state issue. The states really need to start taking a strong stand against the DC dictatorship, and tell ‘em to come prevent election officials from showing away those that don’t have ID. They will get laughed out of Texas.

Expect Perry to tell them to shove it. I think my plan is a good one: First gather and publicize the data that for certain will prove the DOJ contention is a bogus attempt to preserve a fraudulent vote.
Then tell them to shove it.

Under these rules, vampires can’t vote. And hispanics, apparently.

I just heard on the radio that the 0 administration failed to get the law stopped. Which is it?
To: Ironfocus
By what authority do they block this law? This is a state issue. The Voting Rights Act via the Fourteenth Amendment.

I'm hoping that Newt talks to Rick about this and your scenario is exactly what happens. IMO, the DOJ is providing a little dog and pony show, here. It's all smoke and mirrors and they know it.

Whites have to do it.
Blacks have to do it.
Asians have to do it.
Hispanics can’t do it? Say what?
What makes them so inferior that they can’t comply with this?
I don’t consider them inferior. Do you consider them inferior?
Who considers them inferior? Oh that’s right, Barack Hussein Obama and his flying monkeys.
Get over your racists inclinations Mr. President. Come on, you can do it. Bring that baby blanket and binkie with you and crawl right into the 21st Century with the rest of us.
