Comment: We know the intent because it's obvious. We know the effect because it has been studied by respected federal agencies and reported in respected journals. If you want to believe that voter ID laws are meant to counter the nonexistent Trumpian "millions" of unauthorized voters, it is your right to be a fool.

Fast and Furious? GW Bush's program that Obama likely didn't know about? It failed and one covert US agent died. Happens all the time. Benghazi wasn't anywhere near as bad as the two car-bombings that killed more than 200 Marines and diplomats in Beirut, under Reagan. They bombed, Reagan did nothing, and they bombed again. Your ilk said nothing. There should be an expiration date on those dog whistles that you Obama-haters perk your ears up when you hear. Is it senility? Or just an unbridled hatred of the best president the US has had since Johnson?

I have yet to see a politician of any stripe going to jail for proposing or voting for any piece of legislation.
