printThis administration is obliterating what’s left of the federal scheme: Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department is moving against the states and end-running the Courts, first in the Zimmerman case and now with respect to the Supreme Court’s decision regarding election rules in Texas.
Apoplectic over the high court’s weakening of laws that privilege protected groups , Holder, reports Fox News, “asked a San Antonio-based federal court to force Texas to get permission from the federal government before it can make any additional changes to its voting and election laws.”
Other than Fox News, the news and cable networks appear not to be reporting this.
The administration has a tradition to uphold. In 2010, The Hildebeest herself announced the intention of the Obama Administration to sue Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer for insisting it had a right to pass Arizona’s immigration-enforcement law, SB 1070.
