#1 Surely a Democrat friendly compromise can be reached by simply accepting Mexican drivers licenses.

#2 So the Donks either support the court on Lawrence and voter ID, or don't support Lawrence and voter ID, cause the issue has already been decided by a higher referee on the issue. Picking a choosing means its about POWER, not rights. Not there's anything wrong about POWER, but we sorta demand a wee bit of honesty on what's it all about.

#3 Back in the days of the poll-tax, it was common for Texas Democrats to load up the trunk of a car with cash and 'make the rounds'. Of course the voters they were assisting were reminded where the money was coming from.

I'm surprised the Democrats haven't done something similar by assisting those without ID in getting one - plus another 2-3. Just in case they lose the first one.

#4 The Dems always say that it would "discriminate against elderly, women and minority voters who might not be as likely to have a photo ID or to have an ID matching their name as listed on voter rolls."

Really? Prove it. Show me. I read this assertion time after time but I don't believe it. Prove it. Everyone I know has ID.

#5 With out a doubt the folks they are talking about are down in the waiting room of your ER, Dr. White. If you see any of the admitting folks, why don't you ask them how often they get people without ID.

#6 "Democrats said it would discriminate against elderly, women and minority voters "

Supreme Court of the United States has recently ruled the opposite in the Indiana law.

Go for it Texas! We ask for it for caching a check and driving a car. Why not prove who you are when you vote?

Slight correction Steve.
Anyone LEGITIMATE has ID.

#8 I'll do that sometime soon, Nimble, if I'm allowed to poke around like that, but pretty much every patient in our ER (south side Chicago, not many Hispanic folks) has a legit ID -- they have to show their Medicaid green card, which was acquired with a legit ID, or they need an insurance card (which means they work and likely have a legit ID), or a Medicare card (elderly, but likely to have ID).

I repeat -- someone show me the study of the poor, unfortunate, elderly folks who are entitled to vote but don't have ID.
