He co-authored a book Peyton McCrary, Christopher Seaman, & Richard Valelly, The End of Preclearance as We Knew It: How the Supreme Court Transformed Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, 11 Mich. J. Race & L. 275 (Spring 2006).
Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires certain jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination to obtain “preclearance” of proposed electoral changes from the United States Department of Justice or a three-judge panel in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This provision, which is set to expire in August 2007, has successfully reduced racial and ethnic discrimination in voting. The United States Supreme Court determined in a 5–4 decision, Reno v. Bossier Parish School Board, 528 U.S. 230 (2000), that Section 5’s prohibition on the enforcement of electoral changes which have a discriminatory purpose does not apply to electoral changes that were not intended to “retrogress,” or make worse, the position of minority voters. This interpretation upset a long-standing consensus among executive, legislative, and judicial actors that Section 5 prohibited all changes enacted with an unconstitutional discriminatory purpose, not just those which made minority voters worse off. This Article explains how the Bossier majority dramatically transformed Section 5 and demonstrates, through an empirical analysis of the Justice Department’s Section 5 objection letters, how it significantly weakened the statute’s ability to protect minority voting rights. It concludes by arguing that Congress should amend Section 5 in 2007 to supercede the Bossier decision.
This appears to be what pre-clearance is all about - http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/judiciary/hju24283.000/hju24283_0f.htm
SO it is facsinatng that a gentleman that worked in the offices of the judge who dismissed the lawsuit also works now at the same law frm as Mr. Obama and Michelle used to.ANd o authored a book about redistricting etc to extend or protect minority vong rights.
But he seems to work on patents now.

But as a L.A. Sheriffs Department friend of mine once told me (prior to 9/11 by at least a decade, “The FBI couldn't follow a menstruating elephant in a snow bank”.
I may be Immuminati by nature, but even I saw, WTF! take off the tin-foil and let your brain breathe. ;oP
Amen
BUMP
I was refering to the tips furnished to the FBI about the rag heads flight training plus other information supplied to them long before 9/11.
‘Not close enough to make the right people care.’
Seems these days, even if they were joined at the hip...the right people don’t seem to care or maybe they’re just afraid. And, if that’s the case, should the rest of us be terrified....????
They KNEW they would need to start an unjust war SOMEDAY, it was a perfect plan JUST WAITING TO BE IMPLEMENTED. Oh, and the MAFIA was INVOLVED. THIS IS TRUE!
Everyone knows FIRE CANNOT MELT STEEL. Thus the break-away SKELETON.
That reminds me of the idea floated by the tin-foilers that said now Boeing, et al. are building explosive material into the planes now that can be triggered by remote control.
I need a shower just for typing that. ;oP
I saw that, but was answering generally, not specifically at you, sorry for that.
Thanks for the post, Gordon.
Do you ever feel like we are lifting the rock on a huge matrix that has been growing for years, so slowly that no one noticed ? Everything and everyone on the wrong side is interconnected- helping each oher out, gaming the system ?
Like the proverbial frog in the pot
