Some good news for a Tuesday.

The Supreme Court has struck down key parts of the voting rights act that required certain disfavored states to get federal government approval for any change in voting laws, and even redistricting. 

This is important as it allows states to pass laws requiring real voter ID, which in turn will help eliminate the vote fraud mainly practiced by the Democrats.

Further, it will allow redistricting in these states without the necessity of approval by the federal government.

Finally, from a broad perspective, it will return power to the states and away from the cesspool that is Washington DC.  That is not to argue that the states involved are as pure politically as the whitest snow, but just that they are more likely to be somewhat better than the feds.

We should also keep in mind that once again, this was a 5 - 4 decision.  There is such an ideological divide on the court that it would take the loss of only one centrist/conservative justice to lose entirely the ability of the court to protect the constitution, as they have done in this instance.  If even one is lost in the next three and a half years, Obama and his thugs will be able to appoint a liberal, and there will be no further check on his power from this branch of governments.

I think the conservative justices really ought to arrange for food tasters.
