So Rep. Sensenbrenner has pledged that the GOP will fix the Voting Rights Act because parts of it were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Isn't that great? Nope, it's complete stupidity. Here's why.
Via the Washington Post;
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) said Monday that he will attempt to replace, by the end of the year, the portion of the Voting Rights Act that was struck down by the Supreme Court.Sensenbrenner’s comments came Monday at an event hosted by the Republican National Committee, commemorating the March on Washington.Sensenbrenner said he wants to fix the law so that it is immune to court challenges.“The first thing we have to do is take the monkey wrench that the court threw in it, out of the Voting Rights Act, and then use that monkey wrench to be able to fix it so that it is alive, well, constitutional and impervious to another challenge that will be filed by the usual suspects,” Sensenbrenner said.
