The Obama administration has recently declared Texas' Voter ID law invalid in spite of the fact that it was modeled on existing laws in other states. The administration used a 14th Amendment argument in so doing. It is time for Texas to apply the 10th Amendment and remind the federal government that it is federal power that is limited by the Constitution, not state power. In the meantime, I urge my state leaders to proceed with the application of the Voter ID Law in the upcoming primary and general elections. This sets up yet another Constitutional confrontation with the feds.
Clearly, based on precedent, Texas cannot prevail through application of the nullification procedure. But we can certainly muddy the field and buy time by using it. I feel quite sure that any legal battle resulting would find Texas joined by multiple states based on their existing statutes which are sure to be challenged if Texas' statue is struck down.
CLEARLY, any attempt to prevent states from using positive identification from potential voters is an attempt to promote if not facilitate VOTER FRAUD! We have seen how intent the left is on preventing voter fraud in the 2008 ACORN debacle! The left PROMOTES voter fraud under the guise of enfranchising the disenfranchised. In fact, they are accepting votes from people who have NO RIGHT TO VOTE at all!
Pardon me while I throw up!
I'm still waiting for someone to defend these clowns- no one has answered my challenge!
