Nothing new and unfamiliar here.  The Left’s response to the Shelby decision today? Race smears of a Supreme Court Justice. 

On his Twitter account Tuesday, state Rep. Ryan Winkler called the justices’ 5-4 ruling striking down a part of the law racist, and the work of “four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomas.” Justice Thomas, who is black, was one of the five justices in the majority.

Get used to it.  The Republicans in Congress are next, and perhaps the day is past when racial thuggery can alter policy.  Perhaps not.  We’ll find out soon enough how much things have changed in Congress.

I think I debated Winkler at the  University of Minnesota law school some years ago.  At the time, he didn’t seem like the sort of person to use racially charged taunts.  I guess anything is possible these days among Section 5 supporters.

“Craig Guymon allegedly voted here at this poling place Tuesday morning, then filed an absentee ballot at the county auditors office Tuesday afternoon. The county auditor says she’s never seen anything like it.”  Link.

Allegations of dirty politics corrupting the voting process.

… until next week.  Buena Vista, Michigan:

“Buena Vista School District officials believe the state will shut down the Saginaw County district of about 250 students.

Trustee Frances Hayes said last week closing the school district would be the best thing for the students as the district’s test scores are low.”
