RE :"
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley tells us she "will absolutely sue" Justice over its denial of her state's law and that challenge will go directly to federal district court in Washington, D.C. From there it may be appealed directly to the Supreme Court, which would have to consider whether South Carolina can be blocked from implementing a law identical to the one the High Court approved for Indiana, simply because South Carolina is a "covered" jurisdiction under the Voting Rights Act."
I saw a rare case where a MSNBC show actually had a guest on that commented realistically during their daily complain segment about Holder's lawsuit against the SC voter ID law. (It was one of the evening shows.) She actually admitted that Holder's action could backfire politically in the election by making it look like Obama/Democrats are encouraging voter fraud.
A bit of history, the renewal/passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act used against SC here was one of the last acts of the Republican majority in congress fall 2006 and signed by GWB.

Racial parity was a Republican ideal. Democrats gave Jim Crow to America. The irony.

Its a little hard to defend it as anything else.
For that matter we could look at where they're trying to stop it and where they aren't. Our Michigan voter ID law was coming into force they year that Obama was elected but they aren't suing over it here. They are trying to prevent purging our voter rolls though.

Ummm, Obama democrats ARE encouraging voter fraud... Traditionally fraud comes out of black precincts.
