Divider-in-chief

When more and more people know you’re a phony, how to win re-election? Divide and conquer, of course.

“Why else would the Justice Department challenge the photo-ID law in Texas? To charge Republicans with seeking to disenfranchise Hispanics and blacks, of course. But in 2008 the Supreme Court upheld a similar law from Indiana. And it wasn’t close: 6–3, the majority including that venerated liberal, John Paul Stevens.

“Moreover, photo IDs were recommended by the 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform, co-chaired by Jimmy Carter. And you surely can’t get into the attorney general’s building without one. Are Stevens, Carter, and Eric Holder anti-Hispanic and anti-black?”

Behind Uncle Barry’s warning to the Supremes

“The president and his followers want to be able to labor on our behalf, and to make all of our important decisions.  Many of them, like their European counterparts, firmly believe this is the best way to achieve the common good.

“Others are driven by disgust with contemporary America and the American people, and see themselves acting to save the world from our own worst instincts and impulses.  Still others are elitists who despise the common people, who are so plainly unworthy of respect.

“Whatever the motivation, the ‘solution’ is to restrict the freedom of Americans in order that the superior beings who currently control the executive branch can dictate policy.”

Fortunately, it’s the job of the Supremes to approve or disapprove executive branch policy. Whatever Uncle Barry thinks about it.

Indeed, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans got a little riled.
