[quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]Did anyone notice the Voting Rights ruling? Looks to me like the most activist decision since Citizens United. Senate votes 97 to 3 -- Scalia says: What do they know? What are your thoughts?[/quote] I'm a liberal, and I am not entirely against the decision. I get the point, namely that the test for jurisdictions requiring preclearance is set on a benchmark that is decades old. A lot has changed, and how can you not update that? My fear is that the current Congress is so dysfunctional that they can't address the court's concerns. But I'm not sure that such considerations are SCOTUS' problem. That said, it may become their problem if the legislature does not put up a new formula.[/quote]
