Antiquated racial entitlement about to get hacked by the SCOTUS

All you love is pissing off liberals.

 

Meaningless.

 

Add Mississippi

Mississippi Moving Ahead With Voter ID, Too

It's almost like these states knew their laws wouldn't pass constitutional muster so they held them until the SC made it's ruling.

 

How weird that a bunch of states with a history of racism and disenfranchisement are proceeding with voter ID laws to solve voter fraud problems that don't exist. This is a good example of why people laugh when the Tea Party and conservatives say they aren't racist.

 

Unpunished? Lol.

 

wait for tomorrow, big boy

 

Kinda nervous. Not sure if Roberts has the balls

 

it's Kennedy everybody should be watching.

see: Romer v. Evans
see: oral arguments in Windsor v. United States

 

Oops. Sorry, wrong thread. Those are quotes from Scalia's dissent in the DOMA case.

 

Hilarious.

 

Interesting responses from a couple of key Republicans:

Today, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) came forward and said: Well, no, actually, discrimination still exists. We need the Voting Rights Act. Here’s a portion of his statement out today …

“The Voting Rights Act is vital to America’s commitment to never again permit racial prejudices in the electoral process. Section 5 of the Act was a bipartisan effort to rectify past injustices and ensure minorities’ ability to participate in elections, but the threat of discrimination still exists. I am disappointed by the Court’s ruling, but my colleagues and I will work in a bipartisan fashion to update Section 4 to ensure Section 5 can be properly implemented to protect voting rights, especially for minorities. This is going to take time and will require members from both sides of the aisle to put partisan politics aside and ensure Americans’ most sacred right is protected.”

Sensenbrenner is arguably a special case because he was a key player in reauthorizing the VRA in 1982 and 2006. In his case, I think we should assume this is a sincere statement of belief.

But look too at what Eric Cantor said in a statement provided to TPM.

“My experience with John Lewis in Selma earlier this year was a profound experience that demonstrated the fortitude it took to advance civil rights and ensure equal protection for all. I’m hopeful Congress will put politics aside, as we did on that trip, and find a responsible path forward that ensures that the sacred obligation of voting in this country remains protected.”

 

Dude, even as a troll, you are repeating words like 'defeat' and 'incapable'. Try and mix it up, keeps the D&D entertaining that way.

 

Stay classy libs!

 

Is being "classy" the strong suit of the Republican Party?

 

This is an ignorant argument. I can post comments from conservatives from any national story on the Houston Chronicle or anything else from dozens of sites, and make a snarky comment about conservatives.

But obviously there would be no point, because I don't really believe those racist comments that come up all the time to be representative of what conservatives really believe.

The random posts you pasted here aren't anyone representing liberals. I haven't seen one single person you posted ever write for a liberal publication, or do anything else to show they are liberals or representative of liberals.

Do you have evidence that these people are liberals and are representative of liberals in general?

 

Once the debate exceeds the depth of copy and paste you have gone beyond bobmarley's comfort zone.

 

FTFY. Just looking out for you.

 

Yes, we saw that clearly in any thread about the bible. Good job bobby, it takes talent to claim you use logic and when you constantly engage in fantasy.

 

Not everyone who disagrees with you is necessarily a "liberal."
