ERIC HOLDER goes to war to save vote for Texas Minorites

[kwc57]

Of course they do.

"But the judges said there was clear evidence in the record that, at least in Texas, the law is so restrictive that many individuals among the “working poor” would not be able to obtain an acceptable ID, or could not afford to do so. While poor people, as such, are not protected by the Voting Rights Act, the court noted, they are when their numbers are greatest among minorities, like blacks and Hispanics."

Which is why they couldn't pass it before the SC decision.

How many of those working poor really have no ID? I have to have two forms of ID to get hired in the first place, I have to have at least one form to get a bank account or to cash my check, and if I'm poor enough to apply for assistance programs I have to have ID to do that. Unless I'm working under the table or an illegal, and not paying taxes in either case, I have to have ID to be working poor.

You're forgetting about people who don't work, wives, elderly.....

Those aren't minorities.

 

[OKTexas]

True every voter should have an ID.

In Texas it costs only $250, and is easily gotten at the nearest DMV - which is only 100 miles away, between 11:00AM and 1:30PM any Wednesday.

And you can use this valuable ID on voting day only, between 1:00pm and 3:00pm.

A gift from Rick Perry.

That's wrong....


It should be under $20 dollars at tops and easy to get. I think they should be given to everyone

Yep, it's wrong, as in a fucking lie.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a load of Weiner! (Anthony that is) Hey honey, gotta leave you here while we vacation in Europe since you're a wife and we all know wives don't have IDs.

So libruls cheer and applaud SCOTUS on same sex marriage but go to war over another ruling they don't like? Bunch of insane morons.

Yep that's right going to war.

Okay well, only if by war you mean court.

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,
Little souls who thirst for fight,
These men were born to drill and die.
The unexplained glory flies above them,
Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom --
A field where a thousand corpses lie.

Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.
Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches,
Raged at his breast, gulped and died,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

Mother whose heart hung humble as a button
On the bright splendid shroud of your son,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

It only took Texas two hours to prove that the courts decision was incorrect. Furthermore it is not an "end run", as the article say the DOJ is "not directly intervening but was filing what's known as a statement of interest in support of the private groups that have filed suit."

Which is where is needs to start until Congress can undo what the court has done.

The ruling was that the states no longer had to get pre-approval to change. Nothing about the remedy when they change their voting ID laws to discriminate against minorities.

so you think "pre-approval" from Holder's office is the American way......

Has been for nearly 50 years for States or localities that have record of discrimination in the past. The DOJ, not who-ever is running it at the time.

today it has nothing to do with discrimination.....before people had ID they used to pay mexicans a dollar to cross the border to vote.....Holder wants to keep up those same fine old traditions......

Yeah I'm sure that the European vacation is a concern for all the low income Black and Hispanic residents of Texas.

Um, Texas has the worst record in the country. The Voting Rights Act still allows challenges to changes that would suppress minority voters. That's all that is happening. Following the law and the Constitution.

So you're saying black people and WHITE Hispanics are too fucking stupid to get a photo ID??? That only minorities can't get a photo ID?? So I guess that means all black and WHITE Hispanics don't drive, don't purchase alcohol, don't attend college or schools, don't apply for jobs, don't cash checks, don't open bank accounts, don't live in apartments or houses, don't receive any benefits, no health insurance , no library cards, no gym memberships, don't enter courthouses or certain government buildings?????

It does, but not to require a decade of preclearance. Individual acts must be challenged until congress establishes new preclearance criteria which is a legislative function not judicial.

Court Tosses Texas Voter-ID Law - WSJ.com

"A three-judge panel rejected Texas' voter-identification law, saying it violates civil-rights protections by putting an unfair burden on poor and minority voters........

The unanimous decision cited the cost of getting a driver's license, in particular the underlying documentation required for a license. It observed that in some rural parts of Texas, people have to drive more than 100 miles each way to reach the state motor-vehicle offices that issue driver's licenses. Those offices aren't open weekends or past 6 p.m."


Just because the SC struck down the method by which Congress legislated to enforce the Voting Rights Act, doesn't mean that discriminatory laws cannot be challenged in court.

Answer the fucking question STUPID.. We all know you LIBRULS are full of shit and can only win elections through FRAUD.. This is nothing more than stealing the fucking vote.. Too bad SCOTUS doesn't agree with you worthless Zombies.

Your statement is inaccurate. Had you Goggled TX Voter ID Law, you would have found the cost to be $22, and is available from various agencies.

It befuddles me why anyone would have an issue with the requirement for an ID. You can complete very few financial transactions without a photo ID. In my area if you want to buy cigarette lighters at Target, you have to provide identification to prove you are 18 or over. To purchase over the counter meds at Target, again, you have to provide identification.

Are you saying minorities are too stupid to have IDs?

You are forgetting that almost all Americans are too stupid to be able to vote intelligently.

First a drivers license is NOT required a state ID can be used and cost much less than a DL. The underlying document required is a birth certificate and it's not expensive to get a certified copy from a states vital stastics office. I had to do just that to get my mother-in-law's ID, the ID and the BC together was less than $15.00.

The problem the commiecrats have is the proof of citizenship to get the ID because they have no problem with non-citizens voting.

 

[OKTexas]

Here's the fee table for TX ID's the max fee is $21.00 for sex offenders.

They can go out and buy some blow but fuck a drivers license.. We all know this entire argument is BULLSHIT.. Every last one of us. This is about STEALING elections.

At best Holder is only concerned about maintaining Democrat votes among constituencies of questionable qualification.

This is why this country is becoming one of extremes. No one can think critically anymore as it is now 1. Wants to go back to Pure capitalism + late 19th century or 2. Socialism, class warfare to the floor and give the welfare freely mindset.

1. Forgets the lessons that made America into the 1st class nation it is today.
2. Forgets the 20th century failures of these idea's.

=Both are rigid crocks of shit.

How about let's help our disabled, elders and support sensible policies??? Support science, tech and infrastructure!!!
