Here's more from PJMedia:AP: The Justice Department's civil rights division has objected to the new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas, saying many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.
The department says the state has failed to show that the newly enacted law has neither a discriminatory purpose nor effect.
Two important developments this morning. First, Attorney General Eric Holder will announce that the Justice Department will initiate broad nationwide attacks on election integrity measures like Voter ID using the remaining portions of the Voting Rights Act. Last month, the Supreme Court struck down the 1965 triggers that forced 15 states to submit election law changes to Washington D.C. for federal approval.
Second, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Justice Department announced it will try to recapture Texas under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act by showing the state continues to act with a racially discriminatory intent when passing voting laws.
Like all leftists, when something doesn't go their way, they run to the courts in hopes that it will. But when the courts rule against them -- in this case, throw out something they want to keep -- then suddenly they're entitled to cast aside the rule of law and do whatever they want to do? This has to stop. Enough! It's time for Holder, Obama and the rest of this federal government to be reintroduced to exactly how much power the states actually hold, under the Constitution mind you. And I can't think of a better state to show them than Texas!Hopefully, Levin's new book will help light a fire under all the states to do something about an out-of-control, overbearing federal government as well. As for this particular attack on Texas, I'm certain our current governor and the next, as well as our fantastic junior Senator, backed by the majority of Texans, will have more than enough to say about this encroachment very soon.
ADDENDUM: It didn't take long...on the same morning, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott basically gave an 'if it's war you want, it's war you've got' kind of response. Gov. Rick Perry & Sen. Ted Cruz also quickly responded to Holder's end-run & politicization of his office. Don't mess with Texas!
