Supreme Court’s decision....is a constitutional train wreck of historic proportions

[SoCalDem]

6. In 2009, we were warned.

and even though there are two new justices, (one of whom loves to recuse herself, even though the conservatives on the court would NEVER do that), was there ever really any doubt that racial issues decided by this court would always be dangerous territory for us?

In 2009, SCOTUS told congress to "fix it".. we had the majority until Jan 2011, and we did not "fix it".

The preclearance areas should have been ADDED TO, and a clarification as to WHY...and there should have been an addition of NATIONAL VOTING STANDARDS whenever there is a DC position involved. (senate/president,/congressperson)..

Election day should have been deemed a holiday, and early voting length of time and polling places/number of voting machines per population/hours of voting.. all should have been standardized for fair treatment..

and yes.. a NATIONAL Voter ID card should have been issued for FREE to anyone who is a registered voter or who has previously voted.

Repub;icans are experts at "taking over" a democratic position, and they have strategically placed judges who will happily take their bullshit cases where THEY claim to be victims of racism..

We have to beat them at their own game by thinking a few steps ahead of them..and out of the box.. to ever beat them.

When we have a majority in both houses and the presidency we have to be bold..
