APPALLING !!! mad

Another reason to get 1-2 more moderate on the SCOTUS ASAP.

Voting has consequences... have a neocon President - you get neocon Judges ...
We had that discussion a few days ago- this is why I could NEVER EVER support a GOP president candidate... even the most moderate (few around any more) because it could have this type of repercussion !! frown

Don't you love the IRONY ?

GOP accuses BO of targeting conservative groups and seeking the IRS on them ! ( course NONE of this is fact)

BUT then they target minorities and progressive voters by throwing hurdles in front of them to vote ! (THIS has been documented).

gives new meaning to irony ! crazy

I think Ginsburg was right. The VRA should have been extended to all states. That would have made it equitable and so constitutional. F'instance, the gerrymandering in PA is obviously geared to sideline the voting power of minorities at the state and national level. Sure, we have a black mayor and a great variety of ethnicities in city council. But that just does not get reflected in our congressional delegations. The same goes for many a southern state as well. The problem is national, and the solution should be applied nationally. I doubt that congress will see it that way, of course, so that the SCOTUS has just made if possible for disenfranchisement to go national.

We should expect at least 37 attempts by the GOP House to repeal the DOMA decision … yes?
