Why do conservatives HATE the constitution?!?!
The Supreme Court signaled strongly on Wednesday that it might strike down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, as the court’s conservative members cast the provision as outdated and unfair.
;
NPR: "That's the crux of the issue before the court now: - whether times have changed so much that Congress,
[ In Reply To ..]in reauthorizing the law in 2006 without updating the formula, violated the Constitution.
The congressional vote in 2006 was overwhelmingly and astonishingly bipartisan, with the Senate voting unanimously to extend the law and the House voting 390-33.
What the 12,000 pages of hearing [testimony] showed is that for many of the jurisdictions, "there still was pervasive discrimination," says Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, who led weeks of hearings in the House as chairman of the Judiciary Committee."
And, of course, this last election showed our entire system is seriously corrupted and dysfunctional, not just some southern states.
BUT! The entire NPR article explaining the case the Supremes will decide is at the link below.
Should be FEDERAL - BillyJoe
[ In Reply To ..]Whether times have changed so much? I would think the answer is a big fat NO.
Story of the man who refused to have a black nurse. Story of the man who hired someone to kill his son's daughter because she was black. Story of group of white teens who ran over a man because he was black.
I could go on and on. Election laws should be FEDERAL in uniformity to begin with let alone allow states or political parties to screw with a person's constitutional right to Vote. One merely needs to remember this quote
"Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done.
Afraid I agree. States' rights are treasured for empowering/getting away with - abuse of citizens. It is the duty
[ In Reply To ..]of all citizens to protect the rights of our fellows, and with them the principles for which this nation stands. With liberty and justice for all. :)
I think you need to reread the constitution - nm

Anyone Worried About Xmas?Nov 14, 2009
I only have 3 paychecks left until Christmas and I am kind of bummed. I have 3 small kids so that is where the money gets tight. My mother in law told me not to get her anything this year, as with every other year. This one year I took her up on that and didn't get her anything and I felt like just a creep when we all opened our gifts. She got loads of stuff and we didn't get her anything. She told me that I need to get over that feeling, but I cant!!!&nbs ...
I Was Wondering (maybe More Worried)Apr 21, 2010
My father passed away this past week, he took his own life. He was 75 years old and in bad physical shape and constant pain. His nightmare was that he would be put into a nursing home. He was a fiercely independent man living alone and was at the point of not being able to care for himself. He led a good life and was a very generous man with many friends. I am wondering about suicide in this case, what do you all think about what is going to happen to his Soul? I really hav ...
Piers Should Be WorriedJan 09, 2013
However, as the Daily Caller reported in December, the First Amendment does not protect Morgan from possible deportation in this case. Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto explained on Twitter December 22 the legal precedent that prevents Morgan from citing the First Amendment to protect his status in the United States: âYour opinion is protected, your presence in the U.S. is not. See Kleindienst v. Mandel (1972),â Taranto replied to Morgan. Read more: http://dailycalle ...
So You're Worried That This AdministrationDec 08, 2013
is trying to make us all economically equal by providing health insurance to those who have not been able to afford it? Well, they have a long way to go. Are you aware that the Walton family has as much wealth as the bottom 40% of the U.S. population? How long do you think it will take to even that out? Do you know that the top 20% of the population owns 90% of the country's wealth. Think that's going to change because of Obamacare? And please don� ...
Dog Question. I'm Kind Of Worried About My Little Chihuahua (sm)Feb 21, 2015
He had 4 shots yesterday, usually it's just 2 or 3. Obviously, he's sore, he even yelped when he got one of them. He is sore today, but just not acting right. He won't jump up to my lap, walking very slowly, not eating. I did call the vet but he hasn't called back yet. From what I've been reading on the net, it seems like that might be common, and as long as he drinks water, he will be all right. He is drinking water today if I p ...

Authors: McCain Aides Worried That Palin Was âmentally UnstableâJan 11, 2010
By Stephen C. WebsterSunday, January 10th, 2010 -- 11:04 pm It's a perfect storm for former lawmaker Sarah Palin. A book due out this week by political journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin has all the right politicos sweating and backpedaling, from John McCain to the Senate majority leader, and even Bill and Hillary Clinton. But in "Game Change", it's Palin who really takes it on the nose. According to an advance copy thoroughly dog-ear'd by The New York Times, some Mc ...
"Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian"Jan 13, 2010
LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He's a member of his school's swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A gnawing feeling that, deep down, he may be a fundamentalist, right-wing Christian. "I don't know what's happening to me," Faber admitted to reporters Monday. "It's like I get these weird ...

Maybe It's Me, But Some People Jul 14, 2011
So I am going to pick up my son and his friend from football camp and he says to wait that there is a lady that wants to talk to me. So along comes this lady who just reeks of money asking me if it was okay for her to take my son's friend with her and her grandson (my son is NOT invited) to the country club swimming and could I call his mother. I told her I did not have my phone, but the friend could call his mom and ask. She then proceeds to ask me to wait ...

Its just so frustrating because he has been out of work for so long, and this would be a good job and everyth ...
Why Do So Many PeopleMay 25, 2012

Cat People . . . Help!Sep 06, 2014
In June I posted about volunteering at my local animal shelter, working in the cat condos. I am continuing to volunteer, and for the most part I really enjoy it. I also help to stock the refrigerator in the gift shop, pick up donations for the shelter that are donated by local businesses, etc. Here's my problem. So far I have received three cat bites. The last one occurred Thursday afternoon in the presence of my friend, who was in the condo with me. Th ...
This Is How It Is Done--when The PEOPLEOct 04, 2015
These are the same average, ordinary voters that elected President Obama TWICE, and will elect Bernie Sanders. Sen. Sanders has more contributions at the same time as President Obama at similar point in campaign. And rather than benefit from million-dollar contributions through a “super PAC,” Mr. Sanders — who has called such fund-raising groups corrupt — has amassed a million online donations over the past five months, faster than Barack Obama did in his first, digitally groundb ...

Opinions From Cat PeopleJan 03, 2012
I need a serious opinion. We have friends who have 2 cats, full-breed, who they have had daily bonding with for a good 2 years. Said friends are going on a 3-month trip out of the country and are boarding the cats here in the states. The one cat (before owners have even left) is showing signs of something isn't right--getting out of the house and not duly returning home, peeing smack dab on top of the bed.). These cats are brother and sister, and will be somewh ...

I went to lunch today for a change in scenery. I had a cold bay shrimp salad with a butter herb vinegrette dressing and a passion fruit tea. It was nice on the patio today, warm with a slight breeze and I was happily munching away when all of the sudden I started to CHOKE! I mean for real, gagging, retching choking! As if that wasn't bad (and embarrassing) enough, NO ONE WOULD HELP ME! It seemed as if a whole 2 minutes went by until I ran from the patio into t ...
How Dumb Are People?Nov 02, 2010
In Houstin, TX, we have a conservative group doing a "True the Vote" thing where they are there to make sure there is no fraud going on. As a conservative....this is just asking for trouble in my opinion. How can you detect fraud from standing outside? I guess unless you visibly watch every person that goes in to make sure the same person isn't going in....but seriously....how dumb.

With Memorial Day having just passed it brought to mind why our service men and women are fighting. To preserve our freedoms and that includes freedom of speech and the freedoms to believe what we want. Nobody should be cutting down anyone else because they don't believe a certain way (that is the way they believe). Sometimes I am gone for days, sometimes work and family keeps gives me little time to come. These past few days or a week or so of posts here on the boar ...

I rarely if ever ask anyone for favors except my husband, but as far as out of my household I don't. My husband's brother doesn't mind asking a favor and neither does his wife. We recently did them a big favor; however, when we asked for one in return, never got an answer. So I was like okay they can ask but they can't give. We actually loaned them my husband's pickup while they are short a vehicle because my hubbie rarely is here to drive the pic ...

So many lies spew out of this man's piehole, it's hard to keep track of them. One can just assume tha ...
