Time To Get The Panties Unwadded

The 9th Circuit does these things all the time, then a higher court reverses them. We all know that proper ID is needed for everything but voting because the Democrats can't scare up enough living people to keep them in office.

What is refreshing is STACLU not whining about some cross or another or whatever mega religious battle is being waged. When they join the fight to protect the Second Amendment I'll pay these guys some more attention.

And by the way, it should read strike-down, not strikes down. OR is STACLU some British blog?

A federal appellate court has blocked the enforcement of an Arizona law that requires voters to show identification before casting a ballot and submit proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

The ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday came a month before the Nov. 7 general election, and just before Monday’s deadline to register. The law had already been used for the Sept. 12 primary and in some municipal elections.

The 2004 law requires that voters at polling places produce government-issued picture ID or two pieces of other non-photo identification specified by the law. Other parts of the law dealt with ineligibility of illegal immigrants to receive some government services and benefits.

So, I know you’ve heard it all before but,…you need an I.D. to cash a check, drive a car, use a credit card, buy alcohol or tobacco, but to vote….? Oh, that would be horrible and disenfranchise the right for dead people, and illegal immigrants to vote!"
