I always wondered why I have to show photo ID to fly on a plane, especially since the "War on Terror" is over now, and yet, there's still a bunch of liberals that claim showing a photo ID to vote is discriminatory.

What do you think would happen if I refused to show my ID at the TSA window, and start screaming about how I'm being discriminated against and denied my right to free travel?

In my bad-news stupor, I originally read this headline as “unconstitutional.” Tragically, I’m being trained to see bad news. Thank God I was mistaken!

Had this law been in effect in November, I guarantee you that Thompson would be the senator and the state’s electors would have likely been for Romney.

Judge Richard Niess ruled the law was unconstitutional in March 2012, saying it would abridge the right to vote.

This is true. It does abridge the right of libtard constituencies to vote multiple times, to vote in the names of dead people and to vote in place of people who moved away, didn't show up to vote, etc.

Now that the courts have ruled sham elections to be the law of the land, I should have the right to pay my taxes with sham money from my Monopoly set. Change for a $500 gold note, please!

To: Sopater; All

Thank you for referencing that article Sopater. Please bear in mind that my critique about the article below is not being directed at you.

The referenced article is another good example of articles that address Constitution-related issues in a way that are at least inadvertently targeted to low information voters. More specifically. not only is there no clarification of what constitutonal clause(s) that the League of Women voters and Judge Richard Niess claimed that the law violated, but neither do we hear from the Wisconsin Supreme Court why they found the law constitutonal.

Note that states can prohibit otherwise eligible people from voting on the basis of anything not expressly protected by the Constitution. And the Constitution prohibits the states from not allowing people to vote on the bases of race, sex, tax owed and age as evidenced by the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments respectively.

In other words, since no amendment or clause in the Constitution says that the states cannot prohibit people from voting if they can’t show a photo ID, then the states are free to prohibit people from voting on that basis.

But the states have to administer photo ID voting laws in a way that such laws don’t discriminate against poor people. This is because, although such laws are still constitutional imo, bleeding heart activist judges can probably get away with declaring such laws unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court of the United States ALREADY ruled Voter ID CONSTITUTIONAL in April of 2008. That didn’t stop Eric Holder from suing every state that tried to implement it before the 2012 election. He should’ve been prosecuted for that, and that alone.
