RE :”Now, it’s essentially up to Congress to re-write the formula. Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced the Voting Rights Act hearings to Democratic senators at their weekly caucus luncheon, held about two and a half hours after the Supreme Court handed down its decision, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters.

This might be fun to watch.

It was the cowardly GOP House and Senate w GWB who reauthorized the VRA as is in 2006 for the standard reasons, but it bought them less than nothing in 2006 and 2008 elections.

It was originally upheld 1965 due to extra-ordinary civil rights violations long gone 41 years later 2006.

Now we get to watch those Senate Dems craft rationale for putting those Red states back in Federal chains, wo being able to get a bill to Obama.

And smoke out those GOP Senate traitors. Expect McCain and Grahamnesty to be the first two to sign on to whatever Reid comes up with.,

Could be.

Picture Cruz standing up in the hearing saying "I want to get this straight, so we are all perfectly clear on where the democrat party stands on this. Are you saying that you believe Texans are in herrantly racist and thus unable to draw fair congressional distrits?
