"By any means necessary..."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

So the courts have upheld Wisconsin's odious and onerous photo identification laws which will have a disparate impact on minority, younger and older voters, ergo:

The Supreme Court refused Monday to hear a major challenge to Wisconsin's voter ID law, delivering a victory to Republicans who favor tougher election laws.

The decision is a setback for civil rights groups that contend the law could disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of residents who lack proper ID — particularly racial minorities, seniors, students and people with disabilities.

It turns both sides' sights on Texas, where a similar statute is pending before a federal appeals court. Eventually, the justices are likely to resolve the festering issue.

For now, it appears a majority of high court justices approve of photo-ID laws such as Wisconsin's, which does not involve allegations of intentional racial discrimination. None of the high court's more liberal justices voiced dissent with the decision not to hear the case.

Unions and civil rights groups should identify registered voters without photo identification and take large groups of them to the Department of Motor Vehicles at the same time and shut down the Department Of Motor Vehicles...

Fight fire with fire...

Where the hell are they? Why aren't they massing? Why haven't they done this already?

If the bad guys put up road blocks, then OUR job is to figure out HOW TO GET AROUND THOSE DAMN THINGS!!!
