Two important developments this morning. First: Attorney General Eric Holder will announce that the Justice Department will initiate broad nationwide attacks on election integrity measures like Voter ID using the remaining portions of the Voting Rights Act. Last month, the Supreme Court struck down the 1965 triggers that forced 15 states to submit election law changes to Washington D.C. for federal approval.
Second: despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Justice Department announced it will try to recapture Texas under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act by showing the state continues to act with a racially discriminatory intent when passing voting laws.
Some of Holder’s reaction is because dozens of highly paid federal employees are now idled. James Buchanan won the Nobel Prize in Economics by explaining Holder’s actions as Public Choice Theory — bureaucrats announce policies to help bureaucrats, even if disguised as an act inspired by a public purpose.
For the last few weeks, Voting Section employees have taken extended coffee breaks, and even more extended lunches. But there was hope — outgoing Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez referred to the state of Louisiana as the “full employment for Voting Section lawyers state.”
That means Governor Bobby Jindal can expect more targeting by the DOJ Voting Section.
But this announcement is all about the midterm elections. Obama wants the House back, and the Justice Department is again being turned into a political weapon using the cloak of Civil Rights. This has become the new civil rights model. Because Democratic interests are so perfectly aligned with the civil rights establishment — in no small measure because of extreme block voting by American blacks — the DOJ is now an arm of the DNC.
Will states have the competence and ability to withstand Holder’s attack? There are ways. Whether they will use them remains to be seen.
Thank You for that kindness.
it's no longer possible to change corrupt government by traditional means. It's too late for that.

........ government control and intrusion can now be seen coast to coast.
Yes, that’s the bottom line.
If at first you don’t secede, try, try again!
Let’s just do it already!
Holder is under orders to get the King Zero scandals off the front pages. Others are too, probably. This might just be the first announced crackdown on more of our civil liberties and the shredding of the Constitution.
Lets just do it already!
I am sooooo ready and I'm not even kidding! :)
Gen. holder is above the law.
"There is nobody in this chamber who is more appreciative than I am for the gentleman from Tennessee and my friend from Michigan standing up for the rights of race, religion, national religion of the Delta Smelt, the snail darter, various lizards, the lesser prairie chicken, the greater sage grouse and so many other insects who would want someone standing for their religion, their race, their national origin and I think that's wonderful," Gohmert quipped.
Gohmert is a rock star!
Would you mind posting a table like this on the “natural born citizen” threads? There are tons of keyword spammers on those threads.
Thanks
A SCOTUS ruling means nothing to them, their Injustice Department trumps the justices on the court.
Me, too. That’s why I’m “Unreconstructed.”
Its always been about money and power.
“It’s payback time.”
Their hatred for our nation knows no bounds.
It’s okay for Kenyans, but not for Americans:
