#1 Did rhe bill contain the language removing the issue from the judiciary's review? And underline said authority by declaring any such act to be grounds for impeachment? No. Well, then its just another exercise in political positioning.

#2 "... And please bless Mommy and Daddy, my doggie Spot, my teacher Miss Sweetums, and the ice cream man. Oh, and please bless the House Republicans for putting the Dummycrats and the Senate on the spot in an election year. Please force an up or down, Lord. And please help people to understand that making them vote puts them on record and provides big fat juicy targets for the Republicans who protect my family and America. They're thick and need extra help from you, Lord, but eventually they'll figure it out. Thank you, Lord. Amen."

#4 This should have been done right after the 2000 election fiasco.

A simple bill that requires states to (a) have a seperate ballot for federal elections (Pres, Senate, House) (b) that is filled in using a #2 pencil in the way used in American schools (c) In English (states can provide translation sheets at their own expense) (d) to require a valid drivers license or state identification card to place said ballot in the ballot box (e) Voter must be validly registered a month ahead of time to allow the voter registration records to be updated properly (f) and to have a means to shred spoiled ballots so there is not chance of them being considered anything other than spoiled.

If the states want to monkey around with their own elections ideas (electronic, chads, etc, unregistered voters) so be it but they should be forbidden from monkeying with the federal stuff and leaving the entire nation hanging.

#5 "Democrats who compared the bill to segregation-era measures aimed at disenfranchising Southern blacks"

Damn, I'm confused. Black people don't have ID's? If they don't, is it illegal to get one? I musta missed something in class.

#7 Oh my goodness, Speater Flump2829, I must remember to avoid you at the end of the day. I almost fell out of bed reading your little bedtime prayer.
