If federal-district-court judge Lynn Adelman were honest, she would just say the law makes it too difficult for sanctioned minorities to vote more than once.

But Adelman would no doubt rule that none of the paperwork and computer-time necessary to sign up for ObamaCare constituted an “unjustified burden.” She’s a political hack, a joke.

When will we wake up?

Ask the judge whether s/he was required to show or scan government ID to enter the building and be in court that day!

How can a judge who is required to produce government issued ID adjudicate such a case? Conflict of interest.

They don’t care about that. They never did. They don’t care about the Constitution or your rights. It is dogma and ideology to them and they are part of the larger amorphous plan to reduce this country to a tyranny of progressivism that will punish you for your thoughts if they aren’t diverse and liberal enough.

Individual freedom is the farthest thing from their twisted minds. I can’t say here what really should happen to them.

We may hope that it will give his latest opinion the short shrift it deserves and overturn it so that the opponents of election integrity and common-sense reform do not prevail in Wisconsin.

And on the heels of that decision, may the good citizens of Wisconsin launch a recall election or impeachment proceeding to throw 'judge' Adelman out on his arse.

Agree with you both but she’s a he and he’s going to be overturned on this, the guy must be getting senile to not follow precedent.

Yep, this old turkey is a leftist activist and decides cases accordingly.

the U.S. Supreme Court has already determined that voter-ID laws such as Wisconsin’s do not impose “an unjustified burden”

Settled law baby.

Not to mention the decision is racist - blatantly - and insulting to blacks. The judge thinks the collective intelligence of blacks is lower than whites so they need special protections.

B.S.

Adelman claimed that Crawford was “not binding precedent” when it comes to applying the balancing test between a claimed injury to the right to vote and a state statute regulating elections, because the Supreme Court was supposedly “fragmented” on this issue.

Crawford v. Marion County Election Board went 6-3 in favor of voter ID being constitutional. If it's necessary that Supreme Court decisions be unanimous, then most decisions go out the window.

All the states have to do is tell all the federal judges they will not obey their edicts. Simply say “This is a state issue and you, Mr. Federale, and do not have the power to rule over the states.”

In fact, the governors could say “When you come to get James Dobson, we’ll be standing there with him.”

Those that protest the most about voter photo ID hold rallies requiring photo ID to participate and then cheerfully show their photo ID to buy beer and cigarettes, cash a check, get a library card, rent a car.....

I'd bet the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals isn't going to agree with this turkey. :)

Just make it a requirement that everyone must have a state-issued ID to pick up any form of public assistance. That should eliminate the problem.

You know, jaz, I’ve honestly looked at this issue. I’ve tried putting myself in the shoes of some ultra poor person who wants to vote.

Money could be an issue...but they made it free.

Transportation could be an issue...but they have to be able to transport themselves to the voting precinct.

The only issues left are mental and physical ones, and they’d be the same no matter what.

Maybe we need a Voter Registration Van with ID capability that goes to houses that call them for their services.

At that point in time, there is absolutely no argument against photo IDs that anyone could conceivably make.
