The Obama administration suffered another body
blow. A federal court struck down; once
again, Attorney General Eric Holder’s nonsensical assault on North Carolina’s
voter ID law. Here is an excerpt from the
Courts opinion:
After
careful consideration, the court concludes that Defendants’ motion for judgment
on the pleadings should be denied in its entirety. Plaintiffs’ complaints state
plausible claims upon which relief can be granted and should be permitted to
proceed in the litigation. However, a preliminary injunction is an
extraordinary remedy to be granted in this circuit only upon a “clear showing”
of entitlement.
After thorough review of the record, the court
finds that as to two challenged provisions of SL 2013-381 [ NC’s voter ID law], Plaintiffs have not made a
clear showing they are likely to succeed on the merits of the underlying legal
claims. As to the remaining provisions, the court finds that even assuming
Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits, they have not demonstrated they
are likely to suffer irreparable harm - a necessary prerequisite for
preliminary relief - before trial in the absence of an injunction. Consequently,
the motions for preliminary injunction and the United States’ request for
federal observers will be denied. This resolution renders the motions to
exclude expert testimony moot.
I can hear them now. Libtards, near and far, decrying
the outrage that people will actually have to show an ID at the polls. All the Observers that infest this state will
publish editorials weeping about how Democrats are unfairly targeted. Because, you know, a welfare recipient is
required to have an ID to receive benefits, but somehow they’re oppressed when it’s
required to vote. Oh, the humanity!
