A Sad Day

It's a sad day in the history of this country.  The Supreme Court has, in effect, struck down the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  This single law dramatically changed politics in the South.  Before this law was passed, few blacks were eligible to vote because white polticians kept them off the voting rolls.  Now the South is a different place.  Blacks vote and hold elective office all over the place.  By gutting the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the SCOTUS has opened the doors for Republicans to reenact restrictions on minority voting rights.  It will happen.  Stay tuned and watch what happens now.
