According to the liberal way of thinking, it is wrong to ask for ID when voting. Therefore, it is wrong to ask for ID when purchasing liquor, prescription drugs, welfare checks and food stamps and airline tickets when flying. Heck, it must be wrong to ask for a passport when traveling in and out of the country.
It's racist to ask, because everyone knows that minorities don't have ID.

IF you actually read the ruling beyond the headlines, you will find that the court simply criticized ONE SMALL part of the voter id law concerning
photo id and that was it.
The judge must now reopen the case in her Corpus Christi court, and fashion a specific legal remedy for that violation.
From the Supreme Court blog...
"The judge should not issue a remedy order that is broader than the need to remedy the specific violation. It suggested several ways that such an order might be written that would leave Texas free to continue to enforce some form of photo identification requirement."
So, it is not as dramatic as the media is making out.
Most importantly as relates to this specific thread...
"The Fifth Circuit rejected her conclusion that the legislature had passed the law with a specific discriminatory purpose. "
So this is not as big a deal as is being made.
I am sorry...I said no links but I am not a lawyer so had to research and for those interested...
