VOTER I.D. v. the FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT

"Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Please note that "Reasonable Proof of Identity" does NOT appear in the above text.  Proof of identity does in no way imply racial prejudice, skin color preference, nor prior slavery, even if you count the current tax slaves in this Land of the (Formerly) Free.
As outlined in yesterday's post, Proof of Identity is required in nearly all aspects of commerce and daily transaction.  Is a valid drivers license required in order to operate a motor vehicle?  NO, as long as one does not operate said vehicle on Public Roadways or Highways: anyone may lawfully operate vehicles such as farm vehicles, go-karts, and riding mowers.  But when intercourse with the general public is apparent, licensure is a requirement, both for a) the vehicle and b) the operator of said vehicle, with appropriate civil penalties adjunct.
Voter I.D. does not effectively ask for Proof of Citizenship:  a non-citizen can obtain a drivers license or personal identification card in all 50 states.  That's how foreign students are enabled to drive lawfully.  Some state legislatures, such as the brain-damaged Oregon Legislature, are even considering licensing illegal criminal aliens, for chimeral reasons only an elected official could articulate.
Voter I.D.  in no way has racial overtones, despite whatever bile Cynthia McKinney may spew.  I don't know if you've noticed, but licensed drivers seem to be multi-racial in every state in the country.  A student body card, such as carried by every  middle-school, junior- and senior high school student is virtually always a government-issued photo i.d.  OK, some schools may forego the photo, but they constitute a mere thimbleful of issuers.
Is there a danger of a "Show me your papers" autocracy arising from requiring proof of identity at the polling place?  Perhaps, but no greater danger than already exists:  the Federal, State, and Local government agencies, as well as private agencies, which currently "keep tabs" on you are too numerous to mention here, beginning with the Postal Service, Tax Collectors, the I.R.S., the I.N.S. in a few cases, credit reporting agencies, Public Records departments, Real Estate records;  the list is boundless.
And Not One of those agencies interferes with your right to vote.  That job is left to the Black Panthers and Eric Holder, the man who, in 1999, engineered the pardons for no fewer than sixteen FALN murders without so much as a telephone interview with the victims' descendents, not to mention  Marc Rich, in which case Mr. Holder later testified before Congress that he "wished that the Justice Department had been 'more fully informed' about the case."   Habitual  lack of information seems to be a pattern on on Mr. Holder's part, doesn't it?  FALN, Rich,  Black Panthers with clubs, Brian Terry, Fast-and-Furious:  Mr. Holder habitually demonstrates his "Uh-oh, Better Call Saul" approach to law enforcement. 
Because of that approach, and given this Administration's abhorrence of common sense and decency, there will be no Voter I.D. requirement for the 2012 election.  Otherwise, none of Mr. Obama's legions of  demised supporters will be able to cast their multiple votes for his reelection. 
You saw this coming, didn't you?
