Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday that the Justice Department will continue its efforts to protect voting rights in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision which gutted the Voting Rights Act earlier this summer.

During remarks to the Congressional Black Caucus, Holder explained that the lawsuits filed to stop Texas’s discriminatory redistricting and voter ID laws are “just the beginning.”

“Thanks to the hard work of our Civil Rights Division, we are continuing to refine and re-focus current enforcement efforts across the country,” he said. “And while the suits we’ve filed in Texas mark the first voting rights enforcement actions the Justice Department has taken since the Supreme Court ruling, they will not be the last.”

Shouldn’t affirmative-action holder be disbarred and imprisoned?

[DonaldC]

It is really a shame our gov can’t work on real problems this nation has rather than make-believe problems.

[falcon99]

The most political and corrupt DOJ in history. Holder should be in jail, not running the DOJ

[C210N]

Thanks to the hard work of our Civil Rights Division...

The battle for voting rights election fraud is just the beginning, says Holder

Fixed it.

[Recompennation]

Holders idea probably is more black panther polling place greeters.

[MagnoliaB]

Voting rights for who? Dead people?

Thanks Tailgunner Joe. Shilling at MSNBC, Morgan Whitaker swills:

Many here have espoused a valid response. Make legal voting and gun ownership rights the same across the board.

I like it.

Holder's goal is to F-up any upcoming elections. 2014, 2016......he is messing around so dems. will have a greater chance at winning.

I'm not sure dems. can run without election corruption and win as many seats as they do.

Just sayin'.................

The Voting Rights Act was not “gutted” by SCOTUS.
Eric Holder is a liar.

[Jim from C-Town]

Isn’t 125% turn out enough for these JackA$$es?

[lavaroise]

We need to feel sorry for Holder and commit him to the asylum. He basically admits to being of lower standards. In Germany people self declare themlves insane in those situations.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

The States should COUNTER SUE Eric Holder for FILING FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS because the SCOTUS ALREADY RULED STATES’ VOTER ID LAWS CONSTITUTIONAL in April 2008.

[zerosix]

Fraudulent voting IS a real problem, for Democrats and if Obama is to be given half a chance to really "remake America," Obama is going to need to retake the House and up his numbers in the Senate.

To accomplish that, he needs fraudulent voters not voter ID, which he calls, "voter suppression!"

Though, given the total wimps we have now in the Senate, if Obama has the House in 2014, he'll steamroll the Senate and he will have "remade America" in his own image!

Never forget Eric Holder's brand of justice:
