Holder Wants Texas to Clear Voting Changes With the U.S.
NYT ^ | 7/25/13 | CHARLIE SAVAGE

Posted on 07/25/2013 6:42:54 PM PDT by Nachum

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced on Thursday that the Justice Department would ask a court to require Texas to get permission from the federal government before making voting changes in that state. The move opens a new chapter in the political struggle over election rules after the Supreme Court struck down a portion of the Voting Rights Act last month.

In a speech before the National Urban League in Philadelphia, Mr. Holder also indicated that the filing, expected later on Thursday, was most likely just an opening salvo in a new Obama administration strategy to try to reimpose “preclearance” requirements in parts of the country that have a history of discriminating against minority voters.

Just want to clue Holder in on something so he can practice or be prepared for it. I believe Texas will tell him to stick his finger up his butt and spin on it.

If all else fails, Texas can shut down the pipelines going out of Texas and sell its oil and gas on the open market. Winter time would be a good time to pull the plug on Obama and Holder and their people.

“requirements in parts of the country that have a history of discriminating against minority voters.”

Who decides whats discriminating? When did Texas commit
this discrimination? Why post an article you have to log
on to to see the rest of? Just curious.

You know?
For a State that is so racially biased, we sure have a problem with illegal Hispanics flocking here.

I call BS on Holders logic.

Title : " Holder Wants Texas to Clear Voting Changes With the U.S. "

The last I knew , states are responsible for running their own elections
Since when has the Feral Dept. of "Just-Us " ever prosecuted any violation of election laws , especially since ,or including, the last Federal election ?

It seems to me that there was once a war about "States Rights" vs. Feral.
And some people still don't acknowledge that civil war ever ended !

They need vote fraud to elect Dims to take over the House in 2014, that’s all this is about.

Ok, so this sets up a power struggle between eric “the red” (lawless) holdup, and the Sovereign State of Texas.

Eric “the red” holdup, may get his a## handed to him.

This may lead to a really big struggle of epic proportions, and unintended consequences.

The kenyan’s admin may not survive this struggle.

Didn't the SCOTUS just tell Clown and Holder where to stick it? If I were Perry I would tell them the same thing. Holder hanging his hat on 40 year old data, how moronic - but hey it plays well to "his people" .

Time for Texas to have its own Emancipation Proclamation: announce the freedom of all Texans from the unconstitutional rule of the Kenyan @ss clown.
