But wait! Republicans are always suggesting they are the ones who follow the constitution. What does it say when their anti voting bills are struck down as UNconstitutional?

U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos. Texas imposed the requirements “with an unconstitutional discriminatory purpose," she ruled, and the law "constitutes an unconstitutional poll tax.”

WHAT??? Republicans doing things that are unconstitutional? I don't believe it! LOL

The solution is to provide taxpayer-funded photo IDs for all registered voters. In fact, you can't vote without a Voter registration so why not put a photo on them?

According to the article, the judgment wasn't against the act but the results:

"The court ruled 9-6 that the law had a discriminatory effect. The judges were divided differently on other parts of the ruling.

"We acknowledge the charged nature of accusations of racism, particularly against a legislative body, but we must also face the sad truth that racism continues to exist in our modern American society despite years of laws designed to eradicate it," the court said.

Challengers of the Texas law say that up to 600,000 people would be unable to vote if the law was fully in effect."

You ever tried Steel Panthers? Not looking for a player, but I bought myself the new matrix games edition that plays on Windows10. It's been a long time since I played. I'm looking for earlier editions of the players' manual that I must have around the house.

You ever tried Steel Panthers?

Played it quite a bit. Unfortunately the versions I had do not work well with a modern CPU.
If there's a new release for Win10, maybe that's changed.

Yeah. Works great. Matrix Games. They generally send out discount coupons in email on holidays, if you register.

The game manual that came with it doesn't have stuff like basic terrain value charts. Pain in the azz. I thought of it because I think they put data to the new ed. form the old board game to reflect armor values and such.

Nope. I'll look it up. In looking for a game manual, I saw sites where old games have been updated for newer OPs. dunno if it works.

I use a Dell Netbook 2120 since I don't have to pull it out of my bag every time I go through TSA security. It works well enough and is cheap; about $50-120. It has no CD-ROM drive, but you can attach an external drive to one of the 3 USB ports for uploading programs. Mine has a 250 GB harddrive.

We've been telling you that the GOP's voter ID laws were purposely meant to discourage voters. You guys denied that but now the courts have confirmed we were right. There really isn't anything to argue at this point. You guys got BUSTED!!!

A federal appeals court has ruled that a Texas voter ID law has a discriminatory effect on minority voters. A district court had found not only that the law discriminated, but that it was intentionally designed to do so.

Part of that has to do with the type of photo IDs the Legislature designated as legitimate. For example, military IDs and concealed handgun carry permits — they're lawful to vote. But state employee photo IDs and university photo IDs are not. So the Legislature approved ID cards that were more likely to be held by white Republican voters and excluded IDs that were more likely to be held by minority Democrats.

And you’ve been wrong all along. The Texas law first took effect in 2011; a judge's order later struck it down, but that order has been on hold since October of 2014. Last summer the 5th Circuit ruled unanimously that the law does not equate to a "poll tax" but does discriminate against minority voters.

All of that beside the point that state-issued drivers' licenses and state IDs were accepted forms of ID.... and the form of ID most often used to obtain an state employee and university ID.

Then why NOT allow university ID's but DO allow Handgun permits?

And besides, I'm not a judge and neither are you. The judges heard all the arguments and they ruled. Now isn't the time for you to keep flapping your jaws. You're wrong and guilty.
