Voter ID laws work best when they're universal.

Once you start carving out exceptions, you undermine your own argument.

Now, we've seen this across multiple issues.

State passes the law, federal judge blocks it, and then there's years of legal ping ponging back and forth.

That's basically been the pattern at least since the expansion of federal court power in the late 20th century. And whether you agree with this ruling or not, it raises a big question about who is really setting election rules. Is it state legislatures or is it federal courts? We've got a federal court that blocked Indiana's law, preventing

students from using their university IDs as voter identification. Indiana said, nope, can't use

that. Federal judge stepped in and said, yeah, you can't. And you have to ask yourself,

what is going on? A school ID is not a government issued

ID this is another example of an activist judge so my question is can I use my library card

to vote how about my insurance card can the hotel key pass as an ID I had to show ID when I checked into the hotel,

slid that thing right in my purse. That should work, right? Yeah, why does it feel like we're

constantly running into brick walls when it comes to these voter ID laws? And this one seemed

so common sense. And keep in mind, voter ID laws very, very popular

in this country. It is one of the 80, 20 situations that we've talked about for a while. 80% of

the population believes in voter ID laws, 20% don't. Also, this judge in this case, Richard Young is

the name of the judge. He was a Bill Clinton appointee. You can read into that what you will.

But the idea, look, look, anybody can just issue IDs. Look, is my subway frequent eaters card

valid for me to use and vote? No, of course not. This idea, and by the way, do you trust

higher education and academia in this country to create a secure

ID that somebody can use to vote on? Absolutely not. It's not Fort Knox. It's a student

ID. And this was a law that was passed during the 2025 Indiana legislative session, went into effect last summer, and it's worked its way through the court system.

And obviously, this judge has blocked it.
