Reply #126: It is NOT just a poll tax. And Dems are wrong to see it that way

[Leopolds Ghost]

And I know many of them, Obama, et al. see it that way.

They should know the law better than that, but they see only what they want to see.

Like most religious people, they only use the text when it supports their way of life. When it conflicts with their quality of life, which is based on exclusion of the dispossessed, they make excuses like the Founders didn't intend for our hands to be tied from new thinking, societal change, progress, etc.

The issue is Disparate Treatment.

And to be clear, the Disparate treatment is between those who have ID and those who don't, or left theirs at home.

The day when Americans consider ID a part of their status as citizens, like ear tags and $5.00 in pocket or off to jail you go, is the day that tyrrany has arrived. The rest is lagniappe.
