[quote=Anonymous][quote=FruminousBandersnatch][quote=Anonymous]Just pair background checks with mandatory voter ID and it will pass.

If one of the two gets overturned in court then the law sunsets.

It's compromise.[/quote]

When you're talking about Constitutional rights it doesn't work like that. Each has to overcome the court's balancing test on its own merits.

So far, in-person voter ID laws have failed that balancing test.

For the most part, we can't get reasonable gun laws passed because of the disproportionate influence of a vocal minority of voters led by the NRA (not surprisingly, there's a significant overlap between those who are in favor of in-person voter ID laws and those who fear that any regulation of guns is the first step towards confiscation, disarmament and the triumph of the fascist, communist, crypto-Islamists seeking to bring Sharia law to God's country), so those laws aren't even getting reviewed by the courts.[/quote]

Getting things done require major compromise.  Otherwise nothin gonna happen.[/quote]
