it tells a story of texas voter id laws, and it is entitled quote,t black woman in rural texas struggles with process to vote. advocates a system is unfair. while voters across texas motor voter registration applications on monday october 4 and other november 2 statewide election, 82-year-old myra hicks worried she would not be able to have her vote counted. the oakwood texas native said she has been able to renew her driver's license for more than a year because she she's beene to present the required birth certificate need to verify your identity. in the lone star state, election laws require voters to present a driver's license, passport, mr. pai delegation card, citizenship certificate, state election identification certificate or a personal identification card to cast a ballot in person. a person does not need an id to register to vote or to vote by mail in the state of texas. from voters ages seven and over, and otherwise valid form of id may be presented when casting a ballot, even if it's expired, according to the office of the secretary of state. if a a voter does not possessr c

so i didn't know if there were texas, they were going to come looking for me just like i'm sure other members of progress from their own states were wondering the same thing. you know, and so yeah, i mean there's still, the capital is not been the same since then. and part of that is because of cove it . but part of that is because of what happened january 6 and our democracy is not the same since january 6 of last year. and i'm hoping that in the coming months in the coming years, we can do everything possible as americans to get back to a place where we trust each other more. and that means accepting that there hasn't been this widespread voter fraud. there, there is a, this big lie that was created by donald trump. i think that we can get there, but we're still very tense, tense time. well, actually walking castro, democrat from texas, we really appreciate you revisiting us, revisiting that tense time a year ago. thanks. so much for sharing your thoughts with us today. thank you. now we turned a long time republican strategist, john ferry, who's worked for decades with the congress

the texas tribune reports that the primary election approaching in texas on march 1st, quote, texas voters and local election officials have found themselves envelop in a fog of errors, delays, and miscommunications as they navigate new rules for casting votes by mail. as one election administration or in elbagir county tells the texas tribune, we are bombarded. and, nearly one year after the massive power grid failure that killed over 200 people in texas, and left millions without power in freezing temperatures, the new york times reports many of the problems that pushed the texas electric grid to the brink of a total collapse still remain, according to interviews with two dozen industry experts, elected leaders, and current and former state officials. that is republican government at work. non working power grid, 200 people dead because of it, and there's more. the republican governor of texas, greg abbott, has said the texas national guard to the mexican border where the national guard has absolutely no legal authority whatsoever. border control is the responsibility of the federal gove

they have taken over the cities in texas. major cities in texas. our borders are wide open, for instance. we've got two million illegal aliens pouring into texas in the last 12 months. they are come from over a hundred different countries. our culture is at risk, and i want to change that. this all started, really started, the catalyst for this is when we let the left replace god with government. most things in texas are downstream of the governor's office, our virtue, our culture, and we can never have true liberty without a virtuous society. i'm going to make sure that we get prayer back, in all of our classrooms in texas. i'm going to make sure we get biblical studies in our junior highs. i'm going to make sure we take control of our universities with god-fearing patriots that believe in exceptionalism of america and the free market and capitalism and flush out all the communists and the socialists that are running the universities today. >> tucker: that would be a big change and a welcomed one. appreciate it. thank you. we'll be right back. >>

the presiding officer: the senator from texas. mr. cornyn: mr. president, considering the way our democratic friends talk about the state of voting rights in america, it's easy to see why some people have exercised -- expressed concerns because if you took them at face value, you might be very worried about the state of voting rights in our country. but there's more to the story than that which i hope to explain here in the next few minutes. for example, when it comes to the alarmism about voting rights, look no further than the democratic majority whip, senator durbin, from illinois, who said there is an insidious effort to suppress the rights of voters of color. senator schumer, the majority leader, the senator from new york, has said the right to vote is under attack in ways we have not seen in generations. president biden, himself, has said there is a 21st century jim crow assault on the right to vote. if you were to take these at face value and accept them, obviously you would be very concerned about the state of voting rights. but there is

on the constitutionality of the texas law the texas case was weather. we should take a basically a decision of a lower court, which was whether certain defendants in the texas case had an immunity from suit. that was a proced relationship, but you were very concerned about what it would do to people in, texas. yeah, it was why was that? for reasons that are obviously i know i think i think they would like to know because there were a lot of of women who believe they had a right to abortion and that this might discourage or prevent some from doing it and that fits into the procedural law because one of the things you take into account is weighing the equities that is to say if you issue in injunction, will it who will it hurt and how much and if you don't issue an injunction, who will it hurt and how much and in my own view it might hurt a large number of women. that's what i wrote. who wish to exercise their constitutional right to have the abortion and on the other hand? i didn't think it was an enormous harm to texas to postpone their law. okay, but t

injustice in the south, injustice in georgia, texas, florida, is injustice everywhere. those states that have passed 19 states that have passed the laws, 34 different laws, all of these states are not in the south. new hampshire, vermont, rhode island. these states are passing laws that are repressive. some suppressive. georgia, nullification. let's remember what they also told us. that people of ill will in our society seem to be making better use of their time than the people of good will, and they've got a good example of that on january 6th. we saw how effective people of ill will was using their time. today we have got attend for the people of good will to make better use of their time, because we are going to repent. as dr. king said, not just for the deeds of bad people, but for the good people. for the good people in this country. they need to break their silence and sing to manchin and sinema and romney and all these people that are carrying the false arguments, let's break our silence and speak to them. >> congressman jim clyburn, always a pleasure, sir. thank

so texas band abortion after roughly six weeks. that is the question. we know six weeks e is before viability, 15 weeks before viability. aside from the weird vigilante stuff t about your neighbor can sue your doctor and all that, at the heart of the question, can texas restrict access to t eabortion? that's a question agreed to decide. typically when the court has agreed to decide something and new case raising then' same question comes up, they put that on hold for an eventual decision in light of the first case to be decided so in the normal course of things what would have happened is the request for a stay in the texas case would have come off and the court would have stayed it, held in place to say the texas law on the verge of taking effect would not take affect but eventually the court would take that case if they felt necessary. the fact that they didn't do that says okay, there's an agenda driving a bunch of them, it takes only four votes to agree to hear ae case by five votes to grant a stay. also, it underscores the difference that amy barre
