SCOTUS strikes down voting rights act

Authored by: whoever57 on Wednesday, June 26 2013 @ 01:00 AM EDT

Texas is now as liable to be sued as Arizona or any other state.

No, the voting rights act has not been struck down.

In how things will work in real life, the act has been struck. States, counties, etc. will make changes, they will be sued and will, in many cases lose the suit and have to revert the change, but the changes will be effective until the suit has made its way though all the courts.

After the change has been struck down, another change will be implemented, forcing yet another lawsuit and the new change will be effective until it is struck down by the courts.

Repeat ad infinitum.
