Breaking: Supreme Court to Rule on Voting Rights Law

According to ScotusBlog, the Supreme Court just agreed to review an appeal in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District v. Mukasey. It's a constitutional dispute over Congress' 25-year extension of federal voting rights law's requirement that some states and local governments get clearance in Washington before making any changes in election laws or methods. The ACLU is representing a resident of the voting district. Check back here and on www.aclu.org for more soon...

   5 votes for Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District- Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia and probably Kennedy.

   4 votes for Mukasey- Stevens, Ginsburg, Breyer and that idiototic moron Souter.

   Thank God there at least 5 members of the court who respect the Constitution and reject liberal, judicial activism.

   Is it true that the Voter's Right Act which has to be renewed as a Bill every 50 years, is in fact on a 25 year extension?
