Voting Rights Act

Now that the Republicans have proven how important it is to have the Voting Rights Act by suppressing the vote in a number of the states they control, they are denying that we need such an act. Imagine my surprise! As I stated in an earlier post discussing Chief Injustice Roberts' opinion in the case of Shelby County v. Holder, “...the Republican Party has become the party of angry, often racist, old white men, and voter suppression is the desperate tactic of a minority party that has painted itself into a corner by selling a dark and paranoid prophesy to people who are already afraid of a democracy in which they no longer constitute the majority!” There is no way a party that is so intellectually and morally bankrupt is going to willingly surrender the weapon of voter suppression.  See “Judicial Sham[e]” under the label of “Supreme Court.”
