Today's SCOTUS Decision Gives This A New Twist
Today, SCOTUS upheld IN's voter ID law, which the ACLU and the usual gang of lefties had attacked as unconstitutional by foisting imagined "burdens" on those eternal objects of their affection, minorities, the elderly and the poor. Those claims got short shrift from JJ Stevens and Scalia, but their stubborn repetition in JJ Souters and Breyer's dissents showed once again their ability to state the thing which is not.
An underreported story from Hammond, IN took its Mayor McDermott, a Clintonite, to task last week for criticizing the Gary public schools for busing HS students to vote early in the IN primary in Crown Point, scene of Billary's Crown Royal moment. (Memo to file: a real Regionette would have had either a Boilermaker or a 7 & 7.) So while Gary's schools continue to flounder in failure - a damn shame for what was once one of the world's pioneering school systems! - instead of teaching their students the mental skills they need to make intelligent and informed choices at the polls and in life, at least they, and the Lake Cty. Registrar of Voters, will get a better handle on exactly who those students are. Maybe someone with a real imagination will run warrant checks too, not an unreasonable proposition given Garyites' tendency towards crime, but that might fan the "Let Felons Vote!" flames higher and really throw a wrench into IN's primary gears.
BTW, anyone who uses "Da" as the article preceding "Region" is not the real article. That affectation smells of something south of the Kankakee.
