Opponents to Indiana’s Voter ID Law that is currently in front of the Supreme Court seems to have a bit of a problem. The person they are holding up as a victim is registered to vote in both Indiana and Florida.

From The Evening Star:

On the eve of a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Indiana Voter ID law has become a story with a twist: One of the individuals used by opponents to the law as an example of how the law hurts older Hoosiers is registered to vote in two states.

Faye Buis-Ewing, 72, who has been telling the media she is a 50-year resident of Indiana, at one point in the past few years also claimed two states as her primary residence and received a homestead exemption on her property taxes in both states.

Monday night from her Florida home, Ewing said she and her husband Kenneth “winter in Florida and summer in Indiana.” She admitted to registering to vote in both states, but stressed that she¹s never voted in Florida. She also has a Florida driver’s license, but when she tried to use it as her photo ID in the Indiana elections in November 2006, poll workers wouldn’t accept it.

Subsequently, Ewing became a sort-of poster child for the opposition when the Indiana League of Women Voters (ILWV) told media that the problems Ewing had voting that day shows why the high court should strike it down.

So you see, this is the real reason democrats like Barack Obama and others oppose Voter ID Laws. It prevents voter fraud and voting more than once like democrats typically enjoy.

Read the whole thing. This is only the start of this tale of fraud and abuse.

Now the the Supreme Court has decided to take up the D.C. Handgun Ban, expect a full on assault from the liberal leftest media here at home and abroad. They will use the power of their media positions to mislead, spin, misuse facts and figures and when neccessary, just outright lie to advance the media and the liberal progressive lefts agenda to ban guns all together.

Of course as anyone with half a brain knows, trying to ban weapons such as hand guns is a futile effort in America. In that it only takes the weapons out of the hands of innocent, law abiding citizens. Leaving them defenseless to the criminal elements that choose not to obey the law that bans the hand guns.

Now here is the relevant part of the Second Amendment and the reason the Left will lose.

A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Now to break it out in it’s relevant parts:

• A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
• the right of the people to keep and bear arms
• shall not be infringed.

As many nut jobs on the left try and get away with, that the Second Amendment was only intended for State Militias, this is not true. It not only allows for a well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, but it also allows for the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Lastly and very clearly it states that these rights shall not be infringed.

Now if for some reason Hell freezes over, pigs begin to fly and cows start jumping over the moon and the Supreme Court allows D.C. to continue to ban hand guns, then I would expect a revolution, the likes that have never been seen, well since the last Revolution of 1812.
