In particular, the court found that North Carolina lawmakers requested data on racial differences in voting behaviors in the state. "This data showed that African Americans disproportionately lacked the most common kind of photo ID, those issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)," the judges wrote.

So the legislators made it so that the only acceptable forms of voter identification were the ones disproportionately used by white people. "With race data in hand, the legislature amended the bill to exclude many of the alternative photo IDs used by African Americans," the judges wrote. "The bill retained only the kinds of IDs that white North Carolinians were more likely to possess."

What? There was never any factual basis to the birther lie

Of course there was.

FACT: Obama's stated father was Kenyan, and not a US citizen.
FACT: Obama's mother was not legally able to convey US citizenship in an instance of international birth
FACT: Hawaiians as members of a one-year old state were acutely aware of citizenship issues.
FACT: If Obama had been born overseas, it would have been fairly easy to cover that up as a claimed home birth.
FACT: The very first step in the latter process would be to call in a birth notice to the local papers.
FACT: A birth certificate vis-a-vis home delivery/birth would have been easy to come by as a large number of Hawaiians delivered at home in the early 1960's.
FACT: Rather than quickly ending the process with production of the long form BC, both Obama and Hawaii inexplicably delayed releasing it.

That is some of the factual basis.
All of course disappeared when Obama demonstrated his birth to have been in Hawaii.

I certainly don't want to wade into a birther thread, but I believe this is bullshite at worst, and a gray area up for debate at best.

We bestow citizenship on the offspring of the citizens of other countries, regardless of age, if they give birth in our country. But for some reason we wouldn't give citizenship to the offspring of one of our citizens if she gave birth in another country?

That's some bullshite. Regardless of my disdain for Obama, I would defend him on this issue. This shouldn't even be in question.

Bamaatl was wrong about literally everything before the election. Yall are arguing with the mental equivalent of a potato.

He did help to stage that cute Democratic lawmaker sit in that became famous for having Chick Fil A cater it.

He also got famously rebuffed by the cultists in the Occupy Atlanta movement.

You can't argue with someone who doesn't believe in america. He doesn't believe all people are created equal. Remember, before the election questioning the election s legitimacy was a cardinal sin. Now, it's ok because a black man questions it. The bigotry of double standards. A society rooted in identity politics can't survive. It's how you get trump.

"The right to vote"? Wondering how right it was for Illinois to have all those dead citizens vote? Democrats as a matter of coincidence? Drive over to N.O. for the next major election, pull up to a voting center in the C.B.D, watch all those voters get off the long lines of buses, vote, and as they get back on the bus, greedily grab those $20 bills being handed out to "voters". These voters are not Republicans. And as for POTUS Trump's reactions, as he said all during the primaries & the general election, partake in earnest discussion & that is great. Attack me & I will attack you.Note that every tweet is in response to a virulent attack on him personally. Old school N.Y. way of responding & as sick as I am of PC, this works just fine for me.

I have no pity for those that can't acquire an ID card during a 4 year voting cycle.

A person needs one for damn near everything else.
