On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice, operating under antiquated “preclearance” provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, blocked Texas’s recently passed Voter ID law, claiming that the law was targeting Hispanics and aimed at suppressing minority voter turnout in the state.
The DOJ recently made a similar ruling in South Carolina, ostensibly to protect black voters there.
These decisions are purely political, as Texas Senator John Cornyn, former Texas Attorney General and member of the Texas Supreme Court, put it: “Today’s decision reeks of politics and appears to be an effort by the Department of Justice to carry water for the President’s reelection campaign.”
Eric Holder and his DOJ henchmen are explicitly racist, which is to say anti-white, as convincingly demonstrated by former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams in his must-read book, Injustice. It is an agency run by people who have said that they only intend to enforce voting law if the victim of a violation of the law is not white. For example, Adams quotes his “assigned mentor,” Avner Shapiro, who opposed bringing a case against Ike Brown, a notorious black Democrat election fraudster in Mississippi: “I didn’t come to work in the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice to sue black people.”
Regarding Monday’s DOJ decision, Adams told this reporter that “It is the latest radical decision by Eric Holder to please racial interest groups like the NAACP before the election. The objection is based on flimsy legal reasoning that exaggerates the statistical disparities and misrepresents the law regarding voter fraud. Jenniffer Maranzano, a former Advancement Project lawyer was deliberately assigned to the case to get this outcome.”

I have just one question…why has this man not been impeached and charged with treason?
Apparently no one in our Congress has the g-u-t-s to stand up to anyone in this admin. for fear they will be called a racist. So if you are a black democrat you get a free pass. White republicans/conservatives have to kowtow and ask no embarrasing questions, regardless of the illegality of their actions.
Why aren’t we taking to the streets in mass? If Obama cannot win the next election legitimately then he will do everything in his power to steal it. What will the gutless Republicans do to stop him? Oh, probably wring their hands a little at some dopey polite hearing and then let the Demoncrats keep right along doing what they do best. They must party together at night and laugh at how stupid the Republicans are. There can only be one reason why Holder wants no voter ID laws and that is he condones and even loves voter fraud. Where did America go?
Ummm You have to show photo ID to REGISTER to vote. Just bring that same ID when you go to vote.
How about just installing field finger print readers at all the polling places and taking finger prints when you register to vote? this will prevent the dead from rising to vote and keep Micky Mouse and Donald Duck from voting( they do not have finger prints just gloves and feathers)
