Peter Ferrara's interview in San Antonio shows the difference in beliefs on Voter ID issue

By |2008-01-09T14:46:05-05:00January 9th, 2008|

Peter Ferrara was interviewed 1200 WOAI in San Antonio about the Indiana Voter ID case being heard at the Supreme Court today. The article can be read here.

When asked about the claim that these laws depress the turnout of the poor, Ferrara responded,

If you don’t have a photo i.d., under this law, the state will give you one for free. If you are too poor even to get one of the free photo i.ds, you can be exempted from the law. The only people who are inconvenienced will be those who are trying to commit voter fraud.

Rob Bluey column on Indiana Voter ID Case

By |2008-01-07T16:34:44-05:00January 7th, 2008|

Rob Bluey, a columnist at Townhall.com wrote the following column Sunday on the upcoming Indiana Voter ID Case being heard Wednesday, January 9th. This is following ACRU Senior Fellow Kenneth Blackwell’s column in the New York Sun.

Rob talked about, among other points, that the left claims requiring an ID will reduce voter turnout. Says Bluey,

Claims of disenfranchisement have been rebutted in numerous studies of voter ID requirements. The most recent, a statistical analysis completed by The Heritage Foundation in September, flatly concluded that voter ID laws don’t depress voter turnout.

According a poll quoted in Bluey’s column, 77% […]

Oklahoma Law on Illegal Immigration Stands

By |2007-11-02T14:28:34-04:00November 2nd, 2007|

Oklahoma passed a law to discourage businesses in that state from hiring illegal aliens, and property owners from renting to illegal aliens, similar to laws passed in Hazleton, Penn., and Farmers Branch, Tex. But in Oklahoma, the federal judge considering whether the law was unconstitutional, let it stand, and illegal aliens by the thousands are now fleeing Oklahoma. Both the law and the court decision are positive examples to the rest of the country, including Congress and the Supreme Court.

The facts for this story, but not the legal conclusions, come from a story on the KOTV website, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, […]

John Armor: Anchor Babies, Away

By |2023-05-20T09:41:01-04:00September 29th, 2007|

The Constitution is simple, short and easy to read. There is no excuse for any reporter to write about it, without reading it. The latest example is an article about anchor babies in the Orlando Sentinel today (29 September) by Jim Stratton.

The article concerns a comment about anchor babies by Fred Thompson, Republican candidate for President. If you haven’t followed the illegal immigration debate, anchor babies are children born on US soil of illegal immigrant parents. The babies get citizenship. Then, the provisions for “reuniting families” kick in, and the baby assists the parents in becoming legal.

John Armor: Judging the Judges, and the Reporters

By |2023-05-20T09:41:04-04:00September 24th, 2007|

On 24 September, the New York Times published an article on the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, which approved the Indiana voter ID law in January, in a divided decision. The losing plaintiffs asked the whole circuit to rehear the case, which it just rejected, so the decision stands.

Both dissenting Judge Terence T. Evans in the 2-1 decision, and reporter Adam Liptak, the reporter on the story, demonstrated a profound misunderstanding of the role of judges in the American political system. But first, the article denigrates the well-respected Judge Richard A. Posner, who wrote the majority decision.

Common Sense on Voter ID in Georgia

By |2023-05-20T09:41:08-04:00September 7th, 2007|

The second shoe has dropped in Georgia. A year ago, there were temporary injunctions in place in both state and federal courts against the new Voter ID Law in that state. The law had been modified in response to a prior ruling in the federal court. The revised law allowed any resident of Georgia who did not already have a drivers license, to obtain for free a photo ID like those used by people who do not, or cannot, get a drivers license.

Earlier this year, an appeal of a state judge’s injunction against the same law was decided in the Georgia Supreme […]
