The republicans have been itching for this fight for decades. It started in serious in Texas with the NaMundo#1 case in 2009 that went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Wiikipedia entry on case:
Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder

I like you however hope that DOJ is prepared to fight for it. I also am glad to see we have a DOJ willing to fight for it. If this had been a republican administration - DOJ would have sided with the litigants against the VRA section 5.
I certainly do not trust the current make up of SCOTUS. They have the numbers 5-4 against us. I don't think Kennedy is going to side with us.
It will be a horrible case to see settled against us.
