Cowards. I think we agree.
My understanding is that the court found that the VRA included extra-constitutional provisions that stomped on those states and at that time 1965 it allowed them because of the extra-ordinary discrimination going on,
So the 2006 fwightened wabbit GOP congress + Bush comes along and just re-authorized it as is without even looking at it because they were terrified of being labelled.
I remember reading in NR a contributor saying the congress needs to disable those specific parts, but they didnt.
