Different process; same intention. I'm sure the states with literacy tests and the like in the 50's made a big show of how it was all about "the well-being of the political process." Even a GOPer should understand that was bad, since then it was the Democrats doing it.

As for ID's, basically if the Texas Department of Public Safety, or the United States government, issued it, it's ok. Bay Ridge Christian College ID, not so much.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Re: The Power of SCOTUS V: The Final Frontier
Assuming the good guys have won this round of the culture war...
"Essentially, as Northeastern, Midwestern and Western moderates became marginalised in the party, the Southern cultural conservatives took over the issue framing," he writes. "Whereas the former were true conservatives, fighting to preserve traditional cultural norms, the latter were radicals seeking to impose a puritanical set of policies with very little appeal on the country through the legislative process."
... what's the next battle?
Dick Meyer of Scripps writes that while social issues may no longer be at the forefront of today's policy battles, the cultural polarisation that they reflected is still around and exacerbated by today's politicians.
Slate's Rehan Salam identifies the debate over religious freedom, embodied in the recent Supreme Court decision to allow employers to opt out of providing insurance that covers some forms of contraception, as a possible central focus of a renewed culture conflict.
"The next culture war could pit devout secularists against a shrinking religious minority determined to live in accordance with their beliefs," he writes.
The abortion issue also isn't going away, he notes, as some states continue to push for a ban on abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The next big debate could be about reproductive technology that doesn't yet exist, he says, such as artificial wombs and eugenics. Or it could have nothing to do with marriage and sex and instead be a result of the rise of Latino culture in the US.
"Given that the Latino population is poorer than the population at large, we can expect that its members will press for a larger share of public resources at a time when the white and black populations will be aging rapidly," he writes. "It is not at all obvious that non-Latinos will embrace this prospect."
The "culture war" as we know it may be coming to a close. Political conflict, drawn from differing agendas, experiences and priorities, is as old as humankind, however. It's not going anywhere.Last edited by Kepler; 10-20-2014, 09:41 PM.Cornell University

Re: The Power of SCOTUS V: The Final Frontier
Eugenics? Heck we're killing babies now because they don't fit the right "profile". IIRC Eugenics was the big "thing" 100 years ago. Can't have those non whites breeding too much can we?
Artificial wombs? I can see it. Honor Harrington did it.
And the devout secularists are going to find out that their vision of Utopia isn't .CCT '77 & '78
