WASHINGTON (AP) — A deeply divided Supreme Court on Tuesday halted enforcement of the federal government’s most potent tool to stop voting discrimination over the past half century, saying it does not reflect racial progress.

In a 5-4 ruling, the court declared unconstitutional a provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act that determines which states and localities must get Washington’s approval for proposed election changes.
President Barack Obama, the nation’s first black chief executive, issued a statement saying he was ‘‘deeply disappointed’’ with the ruling.

Perfectly logical ruling. To hear the media on this today you'd think they said "blacks can no longer vote again" but it does nothing of the sort. Saw the NAACP and Urban League already saying this will enrage the march on DC in August.....here we go again.

I can see it now "Why cant we vote, racists!"

Sir did you not vote in the last election?

Well yes sir I did and I'm gonna vote again next cycle

So, what is your beef?

Racists!!!!
