Well, chalk one up for integrity at the voting booth!
From AP/Yahoo:
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights
Of course those on the left who demand civil rights (for those that agree with them) believe everyone should vote without ID (and as many times as they choose):)
Democrats and civil rights groups said (the legislation) would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots.
Well, in Indiana, where this case originated, see how they do take care of those without ID:
Indiana provides IDs free of charge to the poor and allows voters who lack photo ID to cast a provisional ballot and then show up within 10 days at their county courthouse to produce identification or otherwise attest to their identity.
The ACLU will have to pick another state or another approach to defend a lack of integrity in voting:
Ken Falk, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, said he hadn’t reviewed the decision, but he was “extremely disappointed” by it. Falk has said voter ID laws inhibit voting, and a person’s right to vote “is the most important right.” The ACLU brought the case on behalf of Indiana voters.
That’s funny, I thought they considered abortion and a so-called ”woman’s right to choose” as ”the most important right”. 
Victory from the Supreme Court and a defeat for the ACLU!

Well, TODAY, the most important right is voting–next time abortion is challenged–then THAT will be the most important right. It’s kind of like when the host of “The Bachelor” says, “Tonight, the most exciting rose ceremony ever,” every single week. Not that I watch that show, of course.

First Laura Ashley…then “The Bachelor”….
Isn’t it sort of un-Texan to be familiar with those things as a male????
It is unless you live in Austin–but seriously–when you are married and your two oldest kids are girls–what can you do. My 5 year old boy is not quite old enough for he and I to do some “real” male bonding–he still hugs me everyday and tell me he loves me. Which is awesome–but I know will slowly fade into less frequency.
MK–I understand…I have two girls of my own….my husband is kind of in the spot you are in…..he calls it estrogen overload!
