The ability to regulate and deny weapons to the people is clearly outlined in the US Constitution... yet look at the 1000's of gun laws on record. If you read the US Constitution, they are clearly unconstitutional. Every damn one of them.

Now, in the US Constitution it defines who gets to vote in the USA. Yet, no laws or regulations are to be put in place to make sure who is voting, is legally voting according to the US Constitution, allowed to vote.


A vote is more dangerous than any gun.

How is it that the clearest amendment in the bill of rights is broken the most by our government, in an all out effort to keep power.
While the vaguest clauses and amendments on voting rights, are to be non-regulate in an all out effort to fraud the people to stay in power.

A lose/lose situation, if I don't say myself.

The problem with this statement is there seems to be a misunderstanding on how our government works. "We as citizens" can't apply constitutional conditions or interpretations on the laws. We operate as a Republic, therefore "we as citizens" elect representatives to make decisions on our behalf.

If the constitution isn't being interpreted to your liking, thank your elected representative, your president, and the federal judges your president nominates and congress approves.

You won't be able to get on a plane without as one example. I guess they can sue the feds for the discriminatory practices.
One CAN get on a plane with just a student ID.
One could not vote in TX with same.

People had/have IDs.
Texas limited the types of IDs that were accepted for voting.

A gun license was okay, a student ID was not.

Seems very arbitrary to me.

When did you consent to be governed and oppressed by another man? I know I never have.
There is only one day that we(you & I) will all be judged and it will never be by another man.

Another man can only oppress another man, for power over that man, to use other peoples money to police the freedom the other man has, when he did not consent to be governed.
Friends are made and Allies bought and paid for, Tyrants tax.

An IHOP dishwasher from Mercedes can’t afford the cost of getting a new birth certificate, which he would need to obtain the special photo ID card required for voting. A student at a historically black college in Marshall, who registered some of her fellow students to vote, won't be able to cast a ballot herself because her driver's license isn't from Texas and the state wouldn't accept her student identification card"



It's pretty clear from reading through a lot of these responses that many have not bothered to find out exactly what this case was about.

Par for the course with this crowd.

LOL, no, I'm a capable person not a helpless invalid dependent and incapable of completing a one page form. I have to sympathize with people like that. Life must be so pathetic, and not worth living if you can't do for yourself.
