NC's voter ID law:https://goo.gl/VVpoYF

And the judicial is now monopolized by liberal activist judges. You can thank decades of progressive sanctimony replacing legal scholarship in our law schools for that. The Constitution has never meant less than it does right now. Once impartial arbiters of Constitutionality, judges are now often just another political pawn for the liberal agenda

I don't know how to respond to a conspiracy rant.

It doesn't have to be a conspiracy. It's just the state of things

So grateful to have federal courts that ensure justice and equality prevail.

Yes, the constitution that guaranteed property-owning white men the right to vote. . . New Jersey allowed property-owning unmarried women to vote. New Jersey had to revoke that right to be allowed to sign on to the United States

It was the memory of those disenfranchised Jerseywomen that prompted the Women's Suffrage movement. Those women got the vote for black men after the Civil War. In 1920, women finally got the vote.

The Republicans struck a 100 year old woman. That woman was born into a world where she could not vote. I am outraged for her.

And they rightly should be to counteract the racist Republicans who control the voting machines in NC.

Maybe you would be happy if minorities and women could be banned from voting like it was when the Constitution was written.

And its only the Constitution that gives them the right to vote now. Be careful rooting against it, you may wish it still mattered when those with judicial and federal power are not on your side. Giving specific groups special "protected" status is inherently unfair. All groups should be treated equally, yet it's only considered a problem when those pandered to by Democrats are disenfranchised

I have no doubt that some of the GOP's actions were meant to strengthen the votes of their base by limiting the impact of nontraditional voters and Dem ploys such as busing, coercion and fraud. It's a partisan move, not solely racial, and affects younger voters and poor ones just as much as blacks

Many states purge old voting records, require ID and don't have extra voting days. None of these are racist concepts, they just happen to affect the poor disproportionately. Most laws affect the poor more. That doesn't mean they aren't reasonable or necessary. Interestingly, you rarely hear the same argument for exercising 2nd amendment rights. In fact, those I know that are against voter ID are all too eager to require additional ID for gun purchases. Using the same logic, that would be racist, no?

Boo hoo. You feel badly that sometimes a company is looking for a woman or a minority. You are just do oppressed.

Until the 1970s, newspaper want ads were segregated. Help wanted male paid well. Help wanted male or female paid a livable wage. Help wanted female jobs didn't pay well enough to pay your bills, for the most part.

Why was the EEOC put into effect? Go ahead & guess.

It goes for work opportunities, pay, & voting. These are all areas where white men ruled.

The purge in NC was not as you described "old voting records". It was an attempt to suppress the minority vote, so says the federal court and was described by the judge as “horrified” by the “insane” process by which voters could be removed from the rolls without their knowledge. “It almost looks like a cattle call, the way people are being purged,” and NC was instructed to add back all the purged voters.

As as voter ID, the NC law was struck down by a federal court and upheld by the SCOTUS because it targeted "African-Americans with almost surgical precision."

Your understanding of the court rulings against NC is incorrect. Both were racist attempts to suppress the minority vote and were struck down.

Voters were being purged within the window of time when it is illegal, nationwide, to purge voter rolls without official notification to those being purged. You really should watch the news.
