Holder: DOJ is the decider on Photo ID and Section 5, not the Supreme Court
Here is the headline out of Texas: Obama's AG to attack Texas voter ID law
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder plans to make news tonight in Texas. The Washington Post is reporting that Holder has chosen the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin as the site of a speech "expressing concerns about the voter-identification laws, along with a Texas redistricting plan before the Supreme Court that fails to take into account the state's burgeoning Hispanic population."
Expect to see an unhealthy arrogance coming out of Holder's Austin speech that informs the American public that the Department of Justice is not satisfied with simply enforcing the current law on voter ID and redistricting under the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Rather, the Department of Justice is intent on resisting the precedent of the Supreme Court on photo ID and application of Section 5 and stretching the outer limits of interpretation of existing statutes.
