Why is it an "undue burden" on minorities to require an ID when voting, but it is not an "undue burden" to require an ID to sign up for Obamacare? If we can't enforce it for voting, then we can't enforce for any federally mandated situation.
@CSM@IsailedawayfromFRIt's a salient and glaringly obvious point, but at the same time it is a futile argument. The people and groups fighting against an ID requirement are not hiding their intent at all. And their intent has nothing to do with common sense, logic, or the law. In fact the opposite is true. This Judge is thumbing nose at the law and at the people of Texas to openly support voter fraud, which is, of course, the whole point of the issue.
So, he is saying that his personal opinion is more important than 'law'. He believes his opinion is more important than the entire State of Texas. Therefore, he is already no longer a Judge, in a realistic and practical sense.
It is impossible to act as an impartial Judge who interprets law based on the four corners, and to be a radical activist at the same time. It doesn't work. This person has transitioned from being a Judge to being a political activist. In any normal reality, this would end his judicial career.
Whether or not the people of Texas have the cajones to do something about Senor Ramos, remains to be seen. But, there has to be a breaking-point with these radical, activists, Judges. We simply cannot sit by while they declare themselves to be 'ultimate dictators in black robes' who rule country by fiat. Maybe this will be that point.
