Supreme Court strikes down part of Voting Rights Act

Man, my queue of threads to do is at like 12. I gotta get on that.

In the meantime, the world continues to provide news. Today, the VRA and tomorrow gay marriage.

Anyhow, Freepers seem to be only mildly enthusiastic about this ruling. I'm not sure why they're pessimistic about this while they're proclaiming the Obama Presidency is over, but that seems to be the deal.

longtermmemmory's imaginary racial corruption system is at last over!

the race industry now has no income stream. You no longer need to “pay off” al sharpton/jessie jackson/naaLcp/racism lawyers. This is their industry which has been closed by the USSC.

fwdude won't rest until we repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments, and everything done right after the Civil War!

But not good enough.

Reconstruction was allowed to live.

fwdude explains that Southern-ness will soon be tracked by the fascists in Washington:

In the Twilight Zone society in which we now live, get ready (and I'm being more than half serious) for the federal government to permanently attach your Southern heritage to you, even if you move to a northern state, and for you to have to conform to strict "voting rights" requirements on where you can live and/or vote in this northern state in order not to effectively "dilute" minority voting power.

The "pre-clearance" requirement will follow you wherever you go, if they have their way. I'm dead serious.

justlurking thinks it's time to reopen the BLACK PANTHERS case!

This could be interesting. If Congress creates a series of measures to determine whether a state, county, or city is complying with the Voting Rights Act, and it is reapplied nationwide using current data, who do you suppose could be found not in compliance?

For instance: documented instances of voter intimidation. We know of one in Philadelphia. Wouldn't that be ironic?

NormsRevenge has decided Roberts is no longer being blackmailed:

speaks to current conditions.. maybe Roberts feeels less threatened now with all the scandals unraveling the O regime..

Boogieman is not happy:

Great. So our partisan Congress is given the power to determine which states should be exposed to additional voter fraud. There’s no way they would ever abuse that power in order to rig elections.

Wurlitzer finds the Court's ideological split proof they're all working together:

Boy another 5-4 indecision. No honest person can tell me this is based on the constitution which is the ONLY criteria the USSC should be using.

5-4, 5-4, 5-4 ,5-4... = political hacks, political hacks, political hacks, political hacks...

What trash we have sitting on OUR USSC. Brilliant minds? Hell no. Political hacks is all they are and easily blackmailed to boot.

If the best and brightest legal minds in the country (we were told they were right?) cannot agree on what a small document like the US Constitution says how on earth can they interpret the multi-thousand page laws crafted by community organizing groups then passed by our unconstitutional ruling elite?

We live in a country ruled by By Washington elites, For Washington elites all the while the US Constitution forbids this kind of ruling elite. An once again, another day, we do nothing.

longtermmemmory is pretty excited about making voting lots harder:

We should accelerate the state by state takeover.

Eliminating the unionista style black liberation theology voting “assistance” on sundays is a good start.

Mandating voter ID without the need of DOJ blessing is a good start.

Changes can be made without any notice to the DOJ.
