The first victims

Today we got to see the Indiana voter ID law in action. And who were the first victims? Hard to say, but among them were 12 nuns. Yep, 12 nuns.

The nuns were elderly, in some cases disabled. So in that respect, not so far from what the Supreme Court was warned would happen.

Sometimes, as Dickens wrote, "The law is a ass."

Sister Julie McGuire said she was forced to turn away her fellow sisters at Saint Mary's Convent in South Bend, across the street from the University of Notre Dame, because they had been told earlier that they would need such an ID to vote.

Ouch! Her fellow sisters. That's gotta feel awful.
