On Tuesday, a little bit of our democracy died because Citizens of the United States were stripped of their inalienable right to vote because they did not have a permission slip from a government or corporate bureaucrat.
The bureaucrats at the poling place did not dispute that they were Citizens of the United States, that they were not felons, did not dispute that they were who they said they were, nor that they lived in the precinct in which they were trying to carry out their civic duty. The only reason, they did not possess a small piece of plastic.
The United State Supreme Court in a 6 to 3 decision said that this was just fine. Our nation has been so brainwashed by the right wing that it now places more value to rectangular pieces of plastic then the rights of its Citizens. There is very little doubt that the Founders are turning over in their graves.
