Voter ID law splits high court justices / Rift opens along ideological fault lines as lawyers argue over photo requirement
Supreme Court justices divided along ideological lines during arguments Wednesday over the constitutionality of an Indiana law that requires residents to show government-issued photo IDs before they can vote.

Conservatives on the panel, led by Justice Antonin Scalia, characterized the photo ID requirement as a harmless way to prevent voter fraud. The liberals on the court, including Justices David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, signaled their concern that the statute would impose a tough burden on poor would-be voters who don’t have driver’s licenses or passports.

The high court’s decision in the case could have repercussions for similar voter ID laws in several states.

Voting Rights activists are all over themselves regarding photo ID for voting. But where is the HUman Cry over REAL-ID? Those without REAL-ID will not have the Right to Vote. Hell, they won’t even have the basic Freedom to Travel. Yet Silence.. Does Silence = $?
