POLITICS - House Republican Leaders at it Again

"House delays renewal of Voting Rights Act" by Laurie Kellman, Associated Press



House Republican leaders on Wednesday postponed a vote on renewing the 1965 Voting Rights Act after GOP lawmakers complained it unfairly singles out nine Southern states for federal oversight.


"Unfairly!" Like hell. These Southern states and their actions against Black voters is the reason we had to pass this law in the first place. Now we are to just trust that they have changed their ways? Not hardly! Not in view of the ongoing racial problems, in many other areas, in these states.

If they are in fact in compliance with the law, why the complaint? Why would they fear federal oversight? Something to hide maybe?

Judge, not guilty, ignore my record, trust me. Ya, sure.
