wrong. 6 - 3 is a clear majority and the opinions were really interesting. on the right there was the ‘yes, this law is constitutional’ and ‘hell yes! this law is constitutional’. on the left there was, ‘we don’t like it but it doesn’t target any group, but we don’t like it, what about the POOR?? the ELDERLY??’ and ‘but there hasn’t been any voter fraud so why do you have to protect against it?’

their final argument made me laugh out loud. so we’re supposed to lock the barn AFTER the horse is stolen? gimme a break.

Why you would think that they wanted fair and honest elections. What's the world coming to. The Dems can't have their illegal alien supporters vote illegally for them. What a shame.
