Not sure what "personal attacks" you're talking about, though calling me a "jackass" certainly qualifies.
"I've offered nothing misleading. Nothing."
That's ridiculous. Of course you have, as anyone reading this thread can see. For a start, as I've responded several times, you claimed "The ID's have been free since the law was enacted. Walker signed legislation to help people get birth certs free, that was part of the deal."
That's incredibly misleading (at the very least.)
His legislation was knocked down by at least 3 different state and federal courts before Walker finally found a friendly venue in the State Supreme Court and got a lucky draw of three partisan judges at the federal level. When the State Supremes got to the case, they actually <i>changed the law</i> by mandating that documents, such as Birth Certificates, would be given free to those who knew to claim that they did not have the money for them.
You'll have to explain what "part of the deal" Walker agreed to "since the law was enacted" to make any of that not the case, as you originally, incorrectly asserted.
The law "since [it] was enacted" has made it more difficult for (certain) voters to vote, and has been a financial burden to those who did not have the underlying documents, like a birth certificate, required to get this supposedly "free" ID. That has been found to be the case over and over in each of the court cases.
For example, here is just one tiny section of U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Adelman's ruling, striking down the law (before it was restored by the current decision at the Appellate level described in my article above):
Eddie Holloway testified that he would be homeless if his sister did not agree to take him in, and that he is on various forms of public assistance. He testified that he attempted to obtain an ID but was unable to do so because of an error on his birth certificate that he cannot afford to have corrected. Rickey Davis testified that he is unemployed, has no bank accounts and attempted to obtain a photo ID but could not get one because he does not have a birth certificate. Shirley Brown testified that she lives on Social Security disability and attempted to obtain an ID but was unable to do so because she does not have a birth certificate. Melvin Robertson testified that he has no education beyond grade school and that he would like to obtain an ID but cannot because he lacks a birth certificate. Rose Thompson testified that after Act 23 was enacted, she attempted to obtain an ID but could not afford to pay the fees associated with obtaining her birth certificate from Mississippi.
"The cost of the ID's has been free for a couple years."
That would be news to all of the people cited in the court case above (and that is only a small fraction of them). So, yes, you have offered plenty of misleading "information" from your very first post. Plenty.
"Peace. For fucking real. Get over it. Wrong tree."
You have an odd way of making "peace". Here's one alternate way I might suggest you could have tried, rather than obnoxiously snickering at people and saying "wrong tree" over and again at people who were trying to politely correct your vast misinformation: "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Thank you for correcting my error."
I wonder why you didn't try that that tactic instead, if you were really interested in "peace".
