“The department’s actions are consistent with the Voting Rights Act”

Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner at the Hill.

I don’t share Sensenbrenner’s concern that litigation will increase after Shelby.  Good.  A neutral and detached magistrate will weigh evidence and the DOJ will be forced to carry a burden in open court.  Compare that with the behind closed doors mischief that has infected the Section 5 reviews in the past.
