SCOTUS on the VRA, short version

"We republicans can't win elections on the merits of our argument anymore, so we're going to restrict all those folks of color who don't vote for us anyhow in the hopes of holding onto what little power we still have for a few more years until the asteroid hits and we're extinct.  Our moral cowardice is exposed by the fact that the vast majority of states that will take advantage of our decision are solid republican states--and we want to keep them from looking like California electorally for a few more years so we can continue to take care of the wealthy and Big Business while inflicting the most harm we can on working Americans."

The End.

Viva la revolucion!

My beautiful daughter sent me this piece by Jonathan Chait about republican election rigging via gerrymandering, legislation, voter intimidation, and whatever else their puny little minds can come up with, and it reminds me of the old maxim that people learn from history that they learn nothing from history.

While this may well work for republicans and their wealthy benefactors in the short run, in the long run, from the American Revolution, to the French Revolution, to the Arab Spring (and just about any other revolution you can think of) the quickest way to provoke a violent and ultimately successful revolution is to take away a people's voice.

Disenfranchising voters while ramming your unpopular policies down a people's throat is not a recipe for a nation that will survive very long.
