It's a state issue, and the DoJ has no business getting involved, IMO.

I'm sure that a handful of loonies on FR will find a way to blame Rick Perry for this too, though.

GARRRRRDDDDAAAASSSIIIIILLLL!!!

Maybe they should start checking out citizenship status on Latinos - if they want to fight, then we should bring the fight to them.

I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED that the Eric Holder DOJ might be acting in the most crass political way possible. Never could have seen that coming!

Will the DOJ and federal judges be telling us what election outcomes are also “legal”, and that any elections minorities lose must be “illegal”?

It is up to state legislatures and governors to define their districts, anything else is usurpation.

justice dept, ARF, it’;s nothing more than a racist political arm of this admin.

After letting the black racists go the GOP should have put pressure on him to step down

This isn’t surprising Governor Perry, and AG Greg Abbott will be all over this. It will end up at the USSC...

"Maybe they should start checking out citizenship status on Latinos"

Their (Republican) counter-argument MUST BE that IF Latino representation is a problem for the DOJ, then ALL Latino's must have Photo ID, to assure legal voters are the ones that are represented and are the CAUSE of the growth.

Then, if denied, take it to the USSC and get voter ID Nationwide approved/mandated by the USSC NOW!

The DOJ has no business messing in State affairs.

Of course with Holder and the bama boy the Constitution and other laws do not mean a thing to their agenda.

All the more reason for Pennsylvania republicans to go ahead with their delegate rule change.

Perry's history of coddling illegal aliens and thus enticing them to invade the US is coming back to bite his state in the butt.

The census counts both legals and illegals so the congressional districts represent both legal and illegal and his illegal pets are showing just how much they appreciate his dissing the law by screwing America as a whole.

Elect Perry Prez and this Tex mess will be all over the country.
