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".
