Attorney General Holder is falling down on the job.  National Review Online reports that President Obama is very confused on the current power of the federal government:

In an interview on PBS NewsHour
following his speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on
Washington yesterday, President Obama said that he would “move
administratively” to block state laws “that seem to be intent on
preventing people from voting and that have a racial element to it.”

Apparently, Holder has not briefed the former constitutional law professor that the Department of Justice no longer has any covered states to “move administratively” against.  It is also interesting that the President would administratively move against a state simply based on the whim that there “seems to be intent to prevent people from voting.”  Instead of responding to the echo of MSNBC commentators, whatever happened to actual evidence of vote denial that can withstand scrutiny in court.  However, this is exactly indicative of how DOJ has reviewed laws when they had the opportunity for mischief before Shelby.  After such subjective abuse for years, it is highly doubtful the Congress will give DOJ bureaucrats the unilateral power to administratively halt state voting laws based on their “whims” and “seems.” 

The states should swear to never again submit any voting change (even the slightest change) to the DOJ for administrative review.  If ever covered by reversed engineered federal formula, the state should promise to go to federal court for each and every single voting change.  It would be a principled stand and the Courts and DOJ should be prepared for states to exercise their rights and have full judicial review for every voting procedure.  The radical lawyers at the DOJ should never be given the opportunity to review voting changes (any voting change) and insert their ideology into the process.
