Pennsylvania judge rules voter ID "unconstitutional"

A  Commonwealth judge has ruled Pennsylvania's voter ID law  unconstitutional saying it "unreasonably burdens the right to vote". The lowest threshold one should have to perform in order to vote would be to have a photo ID when voting. Yet this judge feels that producing an ID while voting is too high a bar. While those opposed to voter ID will say this law was racist, I suggest it is racist to assume that minorities aren't bright enough or deficient in some manner to obtain and produce such identification. Frankly, if I was a member of the minority community, I would be insulted by the thought that I am inferior in some way and do not possess the necessary intellect to procure such a easily obtainable document. Never mind that a photo ID is required to purchase alcohol, buy a gun, board a plane, drive a car, get health insurance or any number of other activities. We are no longer represented by elected officials. Now, judges have substituted their own agendas for the laws passed by our legislative officials. Maybe next time I purchase a firearm I wont bother with a background check. Because I consider it an "unreasonable burden on my right to exercise my 2nd amendment".

Get ready for yet another bailout.

Ever wonder what will happen if not enough healthy young people enroll in an ObamaCare approved health plan? Well, you should. Because if 30 million new healthy policy holders don't materialize, your health care plan is going to skyrocket. ObamaCare needs those additional 30 million young people. You know, the ones who are much less likely to actually use their benefits. The insurance companies were promised tens of millions of new policy holders. And if they don't materialize, the ObamaCare promises to bail them out via something called "risk corridors". Obamacare includes a provision that allows the federal government to funnel taxpayer dollars to insurers that face the prospect of losing too much money under the new health care law, and conservative critics want to repeal it. Simply put, the insurance companies will get a bail out. And guess who is going to pay for that? Yep. You. If you thought the $100 billion auto bailout was big. Or the $700 billion bank bailout was massive - how big do you think a bailout will be of one-sixth of our economy? This should come as no shock though. It was listed in the bill that no one read. Remind everyone that this was a bill voted into law without a single Republican vote.
