National Review is digging into U.S. Attorneys’ political donations here and here.

Collectively, the remaining 46 have donated $235,651 to President Obama and Democratic candidates since January 1, 2007.  Not one has donated to any Republican candidate.  Of the 46 who donated, 36 donated to President Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008, or his reelection campaign this year, or both, for a total of $77,782.

Jennifer Rubin @ Right Turn on the Montana decision.

“The Supreme Court really meant what it said in Citizens United, a robust defense of core political speech.” ….The four “liberal justices dissented (opposed taking the case), declaring that they really didn’t agree with Citizens United.”

Lite blogging Monday as I’ll be travelling to Dallas to be on Glen Beck TV.  Airs at 5pm EDT.

Reports out of Wisconsin have the state Attorney General predicting that the litigation over the newly enacted photo ID law is unlikely to be settled before the November election.
 

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen says the courts are showing no sense
of urgency to get the cases scheduled. Van Hollen tells WTMJ radio’s
Charlie Sykes his agency has pulled ever legal maneuver possible to get
the cases moving.  The 4th District Court of Appeals in April
refused to lift an injunction blocking the law while it decides the
case. State attorneys asked the appeals court to reverse the injunction
in time for the spring recall elections.

 Washington Times:  “But the process, known as inherent contempt, is well-established by precedent, has been confirmed by multiple Supreme Court rulings, and is available to any Congress willing to force such a confrontation.”

 “Holder controversies could weigh on Obama in 2012 race”  “Holder over the past three-and-a-half years has become, according to one polling outfit, the most unpopular member of Obama’s Cabinet. The attorney general is associated with a string of controversial decisions — from his response to the Fast and Furious probe to his department’s suits against state immigration laws to the campaign to halt GOP-led voter ID laws in Florida and elsewhere — that have riled conservatives, even some Democrats.”

Here is the brief of Minnesota Majority defending the Voter ID Constitutional Amendment scheduled to be placed on the November ballot.  The ACLU and the Leg. of Women Voters is suing to prevent citizens of Minnesota from having a chance to vote on the amendment.  Oral argument is set for July 17.

DOJ sues Georgia over a potential UOCAVA ballot train wreck involving a primary runoff that may or may not occur.  Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp sees the lawsuit as a politically motivated stunt in an election year due to the absolute lack of communication and odd timing of the action.

 

Daily Caller reports that former Presidential Candidate Herman Cain and former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell team up to respond to assertions that photo ID laws suppress the minority vote.
