Heckava job, Judge Roberts!

Yesterday, Sister Julie McGuire had to turn away 12 fellow Indiana nuns — all in their 80s or 90s — from a polling place because they lacked a state or federal photo ID, as mandated by the recent Supreme Court decision. AP reports:
“One came down this morning, and she was 98, and she said, ‘I don’t want to go do that,’” Sister McGuire said. Some showed up with outdated passports. None of them drives.

They weren’t given provisional ballots because it would be impossible to get them to a motor vehicle branch and back in the 10-day time frame allotted by the law, Sister McGuire said. “You have to remember that some of these ladies don’t walk well. They’re in wheelchairs or on walkers or electric carts.”
Sister McGuire also underscored the difficulty in obtaining IDs for these women: “We’re going to take from now until November to get them out and get this done. You can’t do this like school kids on a bus. I wish we could.” More on the ID Divide here.

The Supreme Court Justices never thought about God as He's not the one they follow. Just think of it we hear nothing but Christian Family, Moral Values and how the Law Makers and White House have God behind them. Now we see it really isn't God it's Satan. Chavez was correct on his comments at the United Nations. The United States is run by Satan and his followers and this actions show. We're use to racism and sexism but now it's the Church. This makes the Popes visit a joke.
