was in power and still so today there was a case called Shelby vs Holder, anyone remember that and the Voting Rights Act ruling?
It was pretty remarkable, for the simple fact that John Roberts and his il·lus·tri·ous court ruled that there was no discrimination in the voting, because that was then 1965 and not now 2013, and that the federal government should not monitor how southern states should be watched on there practices against voters..............now that Georgia has basically taken a knife to the right to vote, what dos the Roberts Court think now?

They're probably playing Jefferson Starship, "Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now!" at high volume.
