The political extortion racket otherwise known as the NAACP is threatening to appeal to the United Nations over voter identification laws in several States, including Tennessee. Apparently, the former civil rights organization, which has morphed from being a civil rights lobby concerned with matters of basic human dignity into a wholly-owned political subsidiary of the Democratic Party, believes that requiring people to show an ID card which proves that they are who they say that they are is a violation of that individual's civil rights, especially when the State is offering to GIVE photo identification cards to voters who do not drive and who don't have identification that is valid under the new law. Tennessee Administrator of Elections Mark Goins told Fox News that he wasn't sure how going to the United Nations was going to change the minds of Tennesseans or our General Assembly.
"I don't know what the benefit of going to the U.N. would be," he said. "I can't imagine any authority whatsoever that they would have here in Tennessee. If you're an eligible voter, you're going to be fine. If you're an ineligible voter ... then you're going to have issues," Goins told FoxNews.com.
Suppose that the United Nations Human Rights Commission decides that Tennessee is violating the human rights of voters by requiring them to identify themselves. How would the U.N. correct the problem? Would the United Nations attempt to tell the U.S. Justice Department how to interpret constitutional law? If the Justicew Department or the federal government did not intervene in Tennessee, does the NAACP propose that the U.N. send in multinational troops to enforce its will on the people of the State of Tennessee?
