SUPREME COURT AND VOTER IDENTIFICATION

In a six-to-three decision the Supreme Court earlier today said that a voter identification card does not violate anybody's constitutional rights. What happened to the other three Supremes?

A voter identification card is more important, in a democratic society, than the Social Security card. No legitimate voter would or should have any objection in identifying that he/she is a citizen of America when voting. If anyone is planning to commit a fraud and participate in voting then that is the person who opposes voter ID.

Similarly those who want to vote "early and often" would also have a problem.

Now, could somebody please tell justices David Souter, Stephen Breyer and Ruth Ginsburg that getting proper voter identification is not as time-consuming or difficult as getting a PhD and that those planning to vote should only be glad to prove that they are a citizen of this great country called United States.
