Gotta love the doublespeak. When they’re against voting rights, the media claims they’re “for voting rights”.
He’s fighting for voting rights so says Time Magazine.
TRANSLATION: 0bama and Holder will turn Texas “blue” even if it means vote fraud through ANY means, under the guise of enforcing the Voting Rights Act.
“Voting rights” is not all that big a thing. Just keep recounting the ballots, throwing out the “undesirable” ones, until you get the outcome you want....
Like those precincts that turned in a margin of 108% for the Current Occupant of the White Hut, to 0% for Romney, in the 2012 election.
108%? How is that even possible? Even Josef Stalin could not get those results in the former Soviet Union.
The Obama Administration.
Supreme Court rules in your favor. It is the right thing and want the “people” wanted.
Supreme Court rules against you. Cry, whine, bitch, claim it goes against want the people want and then go screw with someone...
Come on Texas. Hand them their asses..........

We could learn a lesson from the left. They never, ever give up. If the law doesn’t work, they take it to the courts. If they lose in court, they try to find another way to get what they want.
Leftists are NOT good losers.
Holder is obviously vindictive. Though the House is out to lunch too.
How much is finally too much?
Wouldn’t Holder need to have voting rights violations, before he could ride in for the rescue?
It’s as if he’s all decked out astride his stick pony, with no place to go.
Prediction: Perry will call the legislation into emergency session to pass a law making it a serious felony to try to enforce a law in Texas that has been stricken down by SCOTUS.
Hopefully the Texicans can play a little "Cowboys and Marxists" to welcome him properly.
Someday in the Wikipedia article on Holder I would like to see the phrase “shot while trying to escape”.
Until the Federal Suspect Eric Holder releases the information on the International Crime of Gun Running to the drug cartels in Mexico, frankly I just do not give a damn what he has to say.
The guy is a murdering crook and needs to be in prison.
Regarding federal powers to protect voting rights for example, the only voting rights that the feds have the constitutonal authority to protect are evidenced by the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments to the Constitution. These amendments expressly give the feds the powers to protect voting rights on the basis of race, sex, tax issues and age, and nothing more.
In other words, the feds cannot prohibit the states from requiring voters to show valid photo ID in order to vote because the states have never amended the Constitution to make not having to show such an ID a right.
In fact, given that the states have never amended the Constitution to prohibit the states from not allowing otherwise qualified citizens to vote if they cannot demonstrate a basic knowledge of the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, either by a written test or orally, there is nothing to stop the states from making laws to require voters to pass such a test before being allowed to vote imo.
The purpose for having citizens pass a voter constitutional proficiency test would be the following. Preparing for such a test would get low-information voters up to speed on the federal government's constitutionally limited powers. Such voters would then be more aware when slimeball candidates for federal office make vote-getting promises for entitlement programs which the federal government has no constitutional authority to tax and spend for.
In fact, here's such a test. (Only 6 frigging questions, less questions than a driver's test, and the correct answer for all of them is true.)
1 (true or false) The federal government has only those limited powers which the states have expressly delegated to the feds via the Constitution.
A) True <B) False
2 (true or false) Most of the federal government's powers are enumerated in the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I.
A) True <B) False
3 (true or false) If you want to pay taxes for "government" services such as retirement and healthcare, you should first look at the 18 clauses of Section 8 to see if such a service is listed.
A) True <B) False
4 (true or false) If "the government" program that you want is not listed in Section 8, Section 8 only showing postal services in Clause 7, then based on Justice John Marshall official clarification of Congress's limited power to lay taxes shown below, federal government has no constitutional authority to regulate, tax and spend for such a program.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
A) True <B) False
5 (true or false) If Section 8 indicates that Congress has no power to address the entitlement program that you want, the Founding States made the 10th Amendment to clarify that you actually need to work with your representatives in your local and state governments to establish a state taxing and spending program for "the government" service that you want.
A) True <6 (true or false) So if you hear a candidate for federal office promising "government" programs which are not reasonably indicated in Section 8, such as healthcare, then you know that they are trying to get elected so that they can rip-off both you and your state.B) False
A) True <B) False
