Doesn’t everyone have a constitutional right in America to unclog their drains?

The new Voter ID Law requires all voters to bring photo identification with them to the polls, and the DMV has announced voters can now renew their ID cards online through the DMV’s website.

A Wisconsin ID card is valid for eight years and can be renewed online one time, so Wisconsin ID card holders can go up to 16 years without having to visit a DMV customer service center. Wisconsin ID cards that are needed for voting purposes are free.

The issue is a perennial one in New Mexico — “voter ID,” which is political shorthand for requiring voters to show photo identification before voting. The chief of staff for Secretary of State Dianna Duran confirmed Tuesday that Duran will push for such legislation in the session. And a spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez said Tuesday that the governor would grant a message for the bill to allow it to be addressed in the upcoming session.

Residents of Leesburg, Florida were shocked to see their local Social Security office turned into a random Homeland Security checkpoint Tuesday morning, as DHS officers armed with semiautomatic rifles and accompanied by sniffer dogs checked identifications of locals.

I guess the integrity of the vote isn’t as important as the right to… enter a Social Security office.  Apparently, there has been 9,300 of these Department of Homeland InSecurity checkpoints supposedly set up to protect us from the terrorists.  Did they get this precleared with the Holder DOJ?

Thats the headline at the link.  I know it’s a reach but it may be fair to say that liberals in Nashville are not happy.

House Speaker Beth Harwell denies trying to gerrymander liberal Nashville Democrats Sherry Jones and Mike Stewart out of public office. Meeting with reporters after the unveiling of the GOP House redistricting plan this morning, Harwell said Republicans had no choice but to throw Stewart and Jones into the same district.

“There was absolutely no way to avoid that,” she said. “If you look at Rep. Mike Stewart’s district, it’s a downtown district. The population just doesn’t justify a downtown district. The growth in Davidson County has certainly happened on the southern border, and that’s why we had to put a new district there. We’ve gone out of our way to be as fair as possible. I can’t control the demographics of this state.”

Jones says she believes she was singled out because of her outspoken advocacy of liberal causes. Notably, she is one of the legislature’s few remaining strong proponents of abortion rights. Stewart, too, has been an increasingly vocal liberal, often taking the side of organized labor on issues before the House.
