Sensenbrenner told Salon: “I’m gonna make them fix it.”

Maybe some of you folks in Wisconsin should tell ole Jim to blow it out his a$$!

Odd. I thought this was a blow to the democrats.

Well that didn’t take long.

Minn. state Rep. Ryan Winkler calls Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom, claims he didn’t know it was offensive

The best comment I’ve heard so far on this, is:

“So, after all these years, the Republicans finally won all the racist Democrat states, so they’ve ended Reconstruction.”

In 2006, Congressional Republicans hastily approved — and President Bush signed — a reauthorization of Section 5 that made the law even more burdensome.

W and the rest of the ruling class loves Big Government.

[sincerity, average] Aw, poor Eric “the Red” Holder! I’ll bet he’s so disappointed! [/sincerity]

I don’t think that people understand just why the Republicans are so upset with this ruling. It has to do with apportionment of congressional districts in those states. The D’s and R’s in Washington carved out nice little safe seats for all their members. Now the Supreme’s have upset their plans and we might actually see competitive races for congress in those states. That means money has to be spent that could have been spent on something else (like races on “free” States). Politicians don’t like to give up control, doesn’t matter if they are D’s or R’s which is why I hate them both as they are simply two sides of the same coin.

"The Candy-Ass Punk" and his trustless sidekick "Eric The Race Pimp" take another direct hit.

Maybe, just maybe, the Civil War reparations are now considered "Paid in Full" and the southern states can now become equal partners in the Union.

The Voting Rights Act was another example of the law of unintended consquences.

It did point out the viciousness of the left. Someone recently said, "Scratch a liberal and find a fascist".

The law imposes preclearance on areas where fewer than 50 percent of minorities were registered to vote in 1972.

I haven't seen any numbers but my bet is that the districts and states with low minority participation are indigo-blue states today. Just change the law to base the formula to select areas needing supervision forward to the 2012 election -- and I betcha you'll hear sounds from the libs that you haven't heard since Grandpa went into the barn to try out his new elastricator.

You didn’t ping me to a J. Christian Adams analysis of a SCOTUS decision? Why ya wanna do me like dat?

;p

[Salvation]

**Now, federal preclearance of state election procedures seems to be forever dead and buried.**

Adams is pretty good. I hope this is right.
