Texas Sues DOJ Over Voter ID Law | Judicial Watch
Texas is suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) in federal court for blocking the implementation of a state voter identification law—passed to deter and detect election fraud—the Obama Administration claims discriminates against minorities.
If that is the case, then every law that requires a citizen to show identification for any purpose discriminates against minorities.
About Bill Quick
I am a small-l libertarian with conservative leanings on most issues, except on many traditionally conservative social issues, where my stance would be regarded as hopelessly liberal by most social conservatives. My primary concern is to increase individual liberty as much as possible in the face of statist efforts to restrict it from both the right and the left. If I had to sum up my beliefs as concisely as possible, I would say, "Stay out of my wallet and my bedroom," "your liberty stops at my nose," and "don't tread on me." I will believe that things are taking a turn for the better in America when married gays are able to, and do, maintain large arsenals of automatic weapons, and tax collectors are, and do, not.
That would make a great headline:
Too subtle for most, I’m afraid.
If there were any conservative lawyers with time on their hands and a sense of humor, they should start filing lawsuits challenging any law requiring presentation of an ID on the grounds that it is racially discriminatory. Cite the Obama administrations legal arguments in the Voter ID cases to back up the claim.
Either the other ID laws get struck down, in which case we’ve delivered a blow to the surveillance state, or they get upheld, in which case we have loads of court precedent that requiring an ID is not racially discriminatory and the Voter ID laws stand.
If you need an ID to exercise one right specified in the Amendments of the Constitution, ie the Second Amendment; then you need one for the Fifteenth Amendment. Interesting factoid:
Zombies are people too, no longer living but people nonetheless. Just because they’re life challenged is no reason to deny them the right to vote.
