97. Note that producing a passport would not give you the right to vote.
That right there is a clear 14th Amendment violation.

I didn't even know this had reached the Supreme Court
but I DO know that the ACLU Democrats have NOT defended
the INHERENT RIGHT TO VOTE argument. They are focused
on disparate impact because there are many twits in this
country who think that only poor and ignorant homeless
people lack ID and we are only supposed to do this to
protect them, not to defend the inherent right to practice
rights as a a citizen with or without "papers please".
Most of the Big-Government Big-Business Nanny-state
Yale-Harvard Dems who are our only allies on this
issue do NOT understand that argument. They think
only "ignorant slum dwellers" don't have ID or drive.
All of their years of court precedents that they feel
they must draw upon support the interests of the MACHINE.
