If the Democrats can’t legislate away your country, they can rely on the courts to help do it for them; and if you stand up and demand to be counted, John Boehner will look right through you as if you don’t even exist.
The courts have now ruled, in a series of surreal (but quite predictable, given their arrogant reliance on their own bad precedent) that some states have no right to police their borders, clean their voter rolls, or redistrict in a way that would NOT take into account skin color. They have ruled that we MUST enter into a private contract that the government will essentially write, and that, indeed, the federal government has the authority to treat our exhalation as pollution, and regulate it based on the harm it causes to…something.
It is obscene that we, as citizens of this country, will have even ONE of our votes canceled out by the imported votes of illegal aliens who support a party that promises, in return for those illegal votes, to take OUR tax money and give it to them. In exchange for power and a reliable new client voter bloc.
Obscene. Obscene and unconscionable.
In the end, what this move to quash the policing of voter rolls does is negates the legitimacy of every single election — all under the guise of fighting “racism”. Which, as has been so painfully illustrated to us over the last several decades, is now a catch-all word for “fighting the inevitable move toward socialism.” It means nothing, but it controls everything.
The time has come for us to elect only governors who promise to do their duty first to the people of their states. These perverse rulings that tell us we must surrender our franchise or our liberties can not stand. They must not. Or this country is already well and truly fucked.

This is the 1965 voting rights act biting Texas in the ass isn’t it?
Ernst,
Could we make Dred Scott bite the Supreme Court in the ass as well.
Perhaps we do away with Stare Decisis; the left’s shield for Roe v Wade.
Yup. And it’s high time Texas informed Washington that it no longer recognizes the authority of that Act, and retroactively decides that it never recognized that authority in the first place.
C’mon, Texas! Let’s you and them fight!
If we’re not already there, we’re rapidly approaching the point where the laws designed to undo Jim Crow have been in effect longer than the original Jim Crow laws.
chicago voters?
Sixty percent of Milwaukee’s black voters have disappeared.
Democrats have feared for years that one of the particular challenges of running campaigns in 2012 would be simply locating their voters.

Why should a party have to “look” for it’s voters?
Especially the Dems. They can find all they need in the graveyard.
I’ve been wondering off and on today whether ol’ Rowdy could make his entire rumored 6 min speech up from nothing except titles he’s either acted in or directed, on condition he can use a given title term more than once where required?
Every time I vote in Dallas they ask for my ID. So at least there’s that.
– I’m glad everyone is taking this with such equinimity, because if the act of ignoring their oath of office has now become acceptable, the neo paradign for governance by our elected officials and court officers, we have effectively been destroyed as a democratic Republic.
– If this sort of lawlessness stands with no repercussions it isn’t going to matter whos in the WH, or the congress, or the supreme court.
– No laws, or laws followed by whim, equals no country.
If at first you don’t secede, try try again!
As a Texan (ex-pat though I may be), I can say it wasn’t a bright idea to pick this kind of fight right out of the gate with Texas.
If it’s true, tonight should be entertaining.
Someone is going to have to eventually say no.
Vote fraud needs to be a death penalty crime.
That’s crazy.
Texas should tell the faggot government to fuck off – what do they anyway have a bunch of dipshit secret service whore-fuckers and some what? Fat-ass illiterate TSA trash?
the post office is about to go belly up so all those stalwart see-something-say-somethings are gonna be working at convenience stores like God intended for them
It would seem that in both South Carolina and now Texas the ruling was based around a very flawed report issued by the Brennan Center.
Boehner introduced the priest to end the Republican Convention in a somber mode.
He should have confessed his sins to us all instead. Would have kept up the cheering mode.
He must be replaced.
