Let’s get 1 more Supreme Court appointment and take it there.
Off to SCOTUS we go. Plenty of time before the midterms if they don’t dilley-dalley.
Nelva Gonzales Ramos - yep.
You need ID to get welfare too. Is that discriminatory?
Geez, wonder if she's legal or wants her illegal relatives to vote demonrat? We need to start shopping judges like they do.
This is so tiring. Judges who are not blind but see all manner of law wherever their hearts desire.
Right. The Texas KKK chapter met in full hoods and under torchlight to plot ways to violate the voting rights of minorities.
The reality is that NO voter ID violates everybody's right to fair and honest elections INCLUDING the rights of black and Hispanic voters. Blacks and Hispanics ought to be outraged at this obnoxious bigotry of low expectations of them. Do they really want to be treated like this?
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton should follow Judge Moore's example and continue to enforce Texas's law. If someone feels aggrieved that it prevents them from voting, they can sue, and the court can decide that individual case. But the court cannot invalidate a state law.
Note that per the Constitution, Article I, section 1, "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in" Congress. Since all legislative powers granted by the Consitution belong to Congress, no legislative powers belong to the courts. Repealing a statute is a legislative function, not a judicial function.
black & brown folk are not sufficiently intelligent enough to obtain adequate ID.
Liberal judges; Always judging the intent of a law instead of the clear wording of a law.
Which means he is an unqualified idiot.
Its what is termed a "fake" or "paper" American name.
Not getting a sufficient education has a discriminatory effect in the job market.
Sleeping until noon every day has a discriminatory effect of keeping employers from hiring you.
Smoking a joint several times a day has a discriminatory effect of making one a pot head.
Similar voter I.D. has already been vetted and found constitutional by the Supreme Court.
Leftists despise the rule of law, stare decisis and rational sense.
When I went to a health care clinic recently, the front desk person asked for my I.D. I casually asked what would happen if I didn’t have any I.D. She flat out said that I would be denied services.
Now, if “health care is a right,” then how does that fly?
Appointed by Obama and approved by Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
Yep, approved unanimously by the Senate.
I really hope you’re right. I’m at wits end, as no doubt many of us are.
The right controls the house, senate, the WH, a vast majority of statewide offices... and all we do is lose to progressive liberalism.... Granted, they have Satan on their side but still...
"Has the effect" does not prove intention, other than the intention to protect election integrity.
Also, since minimum constitutional voting age is 18 (26th Amendment), that gives underaged citizens plenty of time to pass a one-time voter qualification test, a test which stresses the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, before actually being allowed to vote.
A minimum number of test questions can be based on the following points.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Voters also need correctly answer a question or two to prove that they understand why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Finally, note that since even lawmakers, POTUS, judges and justices would be required to pass this voter qualification test before being allowed to vote that it would be easier to impeach and remove from office elected and non-elected officials who defend legislation and laws, especially tax appropriation laws, based on stolen state powers.
