  Considering that gang (the Supremes), I'm not optimistic about the outcome.
  
  We need only to look at the most recent election to see that there is STILL rampant discrimination, and a concerted effort, to prevent minorities (especially blacks and Latinos), poor people, and Democrats (in general) from voting.

  When a sitting Justice is ALLOWED to call ...... a provision in the Voting Rights act A RACIAL ENTITLEMENT
  It sickens me .... when someone on the Supreme Court can say things that are so Blatantly RACIST itself and not be called on it? it's a very sad day for this country
  
  I have been following this case and when Roberts questions the validity of a legislative vote .... because he doesn't like the outcome of the vote? (In 2006 Congress nearly unanimously reinstated the Voting Rights act)
  Judicial Activism in its most aggressive form
