It Sucks to be Scott Walker

A federal judge has issued an injunction against Wisconsin's voter ID law, so it's now almost certain that his recall election will be free of his voter suppression tactics:

A Wisconsin law requiring voters to show photo identification to receive a ballot was temporarily blocked by a state judge after a civil rights group sued Governor Scott Walker over the measure.

Judge David Flanagan in Dane County yesterday ruled that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People demonstrated a probability of success in overturning the 2011 law and that a temporary injunction was necessary to prevent “irreparable harm.”

“If no injunction is issued, a clearly improper impairment of a most vital element of our society will occur,” Flanagan wrote in his order. “The duty of the court is clear. The case has been made.”

Democrats and Republicans are at odds over voting laws before the 2012 elections. Democrats say they are seeking to ensure voters’ access to the polls while Republicans such as Walker argue more needs to be done to prevent voter fraud. Similar suits claiming the Wisconsin law unconstitutionally burdens the rights of people including senior citizens and minorities are pending in state and federal court.

The 'Phants are making noises about the primary, but what they really want to do is prevent minorities from voting in the Scott Brown recall.

It's not gonna happen.

Well it might happen when it hits the Roberts Supreme Court, but that is at least a year away.
