Discussion: Challenge To Texas Voter ID Law To Be Heard By Full Appeals Court

Discussion for article #247154

If at first you don’t succeed…

Texas must have been rather shattered by the previous decisions: the Fifth Circuit is far and away the most conservative of them all. If they turn you down on a matter like this, you’ve got a piss-poor case.

Edited: to remove erroneous reference to two hearings; apparently the (and, so far, only) first hearing was held by a 3-judge panel.

Does the court have to accept an appeal for an en banc rehearing? If not, that probably means the full court will gut. Just because they can.

Suggestive indeed. “Damn! We picked the wrong three first time! Now let’s jest us all get together an’ fix that.”

Tierney… Thanks for the continuing coverage of probably the most corrupt, bigoted, single-focused rigged court in the American system. I, unfortunately, speak from experience dealing with texas and it’s idiot-based social systems (including it’s ‘stuffed’ court system), and still have family there that seems exposed to this constant form of repression and outward racial/religious hate hourly.

I hope you don’t have to expose yourself or any of your family to this environment because given today’s trends, beliefs and incendiary rhetoric coming out of every oriface of texas, it will implode. Hopefully soon.

Correction: there is no “probably” about it (at least as to federal circuits).
