so lets get this straight, if it is a federal crime to cross the border illegally, and then they say that it is ok, then shouldn't bank robbery (federal crime) be ok as well. Exactly which laws are ok to break and which ones are not. Just seeking an answer.

Why are so many of you so riled about the voter ID. The opposition to such a simple problem tells me there is more too than people want to say.

maybe we should chuck ALL laws out the window because people are going to break the laws anyway. C'mon, come up with something better than THAT! Blueboxinggloves

You need to pay attention, a lot of laws are going unenforced for one reason or another. The crumbling continues

I am SO sick of the LAME argument that we should give illegal immigrants drivers licenses because "they are going to drive anyway". Using that stupid logic, maybe we should chuck ALL laws out the window because people are going to break the laws anyway. C'mon, come up with something better than THAT!

Deport them.

This is just wrong! You should have to be a U.S. Citizen to obtain a driver's license!

If voter ID is an evil plot to keep minorities from voting, then having the polls open only one day and a workday at that, was all along an evil plot to deny working people their vote.

When it comes to voter fraud, there's the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Voting twice, for example, violates both tenets. Busing in a group of old people from church with prefilled ballots, or "showing" them which way to vote, may not violate the letter but violates the spirit. JMHO.

Cons just LOVE to trot out "Their" version of the Constitution and wave it all over the place while threatening to bring whatever pain they think is necessary when it suits THEIR purposes. But when they think it BENEFITS them to either ignore the Constitution or abandon it altogether, then it's "toss her out the winder buddy!". Voter ID laws which disallow any legitimate citizen of the United States from practicing their RIGHT to vote is in effect REVOKING the Constitutional RIGHT to vote. Now, if you mention a GUN to any of them, baby, look out! You be messin with THEIR rights. But as long as it's not "messin with sasquatch" they are fine with it. We have right wing parrots like crumpy here all day long talking about her rights, but it's okay to stomp all over everyone elses when she thinks it's about minorities or someone else. I'm just TICKLED that it's Republicans doing this so they only have themselves to blame on this issue.

Voter ID: It's constitutional

Not quite!

So far the only voter ID that has stood up in higher courts is the one where you DO NOT NEED ID to vote.

They can ASK for it.

But if you don't have it you STILL get to vote, and just have to provide a signed form that you are who you say you are.

Which is exactly as useful as the CURRENT system- but more expensive and cumbersome since the taxpayers have to do extra work to pay for those forms and pay to file them someplace...and pay to give free IDs to anyone who wants them (but still does not actually NEED them to vote).

It's inferior to what we have now in every way.

Nice job GOP!
