The Justice Department reversed its position in a closely watched voting rights case on Tuesday, telling a panel of federal judges Texas shouldn’t have to clear its voting changes with the federal government despite its history of intentionally discriminating against voters.
The filing came in a Texas gerrymandering lawsuit, Abbott v. Perez, and has big implications for the remaining power of the Voting Rights Act, the 1965 law to prevent discrimination against minorities. Several former Justice Department lawyers, some of whom worked on the case, said the reversal was alarming because the pattern of discrimination in Texas was so clear and the state is likely to do the same thing again without federal supervision.
The plaintiffs in the suit, and the Justice Department until Tuesday, said Texas’ pattern of discriminating against minority voters, both recently and historically, meant it should have to have any changes to its voting laws pre-cleared, or pre-approved, by the federal government.
“Generations of DOJ lawyers, including myself, have taken turns combating Texas’ many racially discriminatory voting policies. If Texas can’t meet this DOJ’s standards for warranting pre-clearance, I suspect no jurisdiction can,” said Sasha Samberg-Champion, a former senior attorney in the appellate section of the Justice Department’s civil rights division.
The current administration is one of chaos, an attacker on the environment, one that disdains the rule of law and obviously cares strongly about voter fraud as long as it’s committed by Democrats (non existent). They will do anything, legal or otherwise to run their agendas and thumb their noses at the law and doing the right thing.

You would have loved to be a Democrat back then, no?
No……I am not anti-semetic racist like you so I have no place in the Democrat party — either then or now! Besides, I was already a Republican during that time.
So as the party changed to one or bigotry you just stayed with it out of habit or did you become a bigot along with the majority of the Republicans? Calling Cappy an anti Semite with zero proof is such a trumpturd thing to do. Calling out the Israeli government for their misdeeds is like saying I’m an anti Semite because I don’t like bagels. I do love latkas though, but I much prefer them with sour cream than apple sauce. No, that doesn’t make me an anti appleist either. Harpo and Gruel aren’t really as stupid as they post in my opinion, though posting as they do hardly says they are geniuses. You, however, seem genuinely stupid. I laugh at you quite a bit but I pity you also.
But it is OK label me – and anyone else who disagrees with you people – as a racist, etc. without a single bit of proof (zero) is right?
