Let them eat shit?

In other news, the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court ruled today that the lower court must ensure "liberal access" to voter ID before it can rule in favor of the state's voter ID law, meaning it's up to the lower court to ensure that voters can be provided with ID before the November election. An injunction against the law will remain in effect until the lower court proves itself.

Overall, we are confronted with an ambitious effort on the part of the General Assembly to bring the new identification procedure into effect within a relatively short timeframe and an implementation process which has by no means been seamless in light of the serious operational constraints faced by the executive branch. Given this state of affairs, we are not satisfied with a mere predictive judgment based primarily on the assurances of government officials, even though we have no doubt they are proceeding in good faith.

In all likelihood the law will ultimately be struck down, but we're not there yet.
