More Lawlessness from Justice, Holder

More Lawlessness from Justice, Holder

Only this week the Supreme Court upheld a voter ID law in Indiana, but the Voting Rights Act gives the Justice Department special oversight regarding some of the states of the Confederacy. Thus Attorney General Holder believes that it is within his power to ignore that the SCOTUS decision in the case applies to South Carolina, where he has today stopped enforcement of South Carolina's law requiring a state-issued ID for voters.

This represents anarchy, if not tyranny. The Obama administration seems bound and determined to seize power over as many functions of government as they can. The Supreme Court says (6-3!) that the interest of government in fair elections overrides the mere suspicion of unfairness to minorities, since proof of race based outcome cannot be produced. Holder and Obama do not need no stinking proof - they assert their power merely because they can.
