Well…there have been a few things happen over the past couple of days that I thought deserved comment so here we go…first, a federal court has stricken the new, repub sponsored voter id law for doing exactly what the repubs wanted it to do…disenfranchise the poor and minorities and I hope that this is the start of the end of the false “voter fraud” crap the the repubs have been pushing for decades now even though none has ever been found…there was another good decision by the supreme court yesterday that says that the EPA really does have the power to regulate greenhouse gasses under the clean air act…this is another one of those repub sponsored attacks on the EPA since they truly believe that their bosses should be allowed to pollute as much as they want while pushing the costs of that pollution on the American people; not the polluters who are actually doing it…so, this should put the rest to these types of suits especially since this was a 6-2 decision with no wavering by the majority…so sorry polluters…geez…

Even the stupid is bigger in Texas…
Well…after the supreme court gutted the voting rights act and about an hour later the Texas repubs passed a law that would disenfranchise many, many Texans (all democratic I might add), the fallout was a suit by the AG to try to stop the shenanigans. I am just laughing at the response from the Texas repub AG, that the suit alleging that the new restrictions are racially motivated just can’t be true since the intent of the redistricting was to make sure that Democrats can’t vote…yep, in the response to the suit the repubs admitted that they are trying to rig the votes there but shouldn’t be held responsible since there is no law against making sure your opposing party can’t vote…and they cite ole Scalia saying that there is no right to vote in the constitution….I am just stunned by the stupidity of these folks…can’t they see that by filing this brief, they have opened themselves up to so much legal action that the state AG will have no time for anything else…hmmmm…maybe that’s a good thing….and these are the folks that keep waving the constitution around like a flag….big, big, stupid…geez…
