RUSH: the Supreme Court rule today that states can no longer be judged by voting discrimination that went on decades ago. This is a decision that marks the end of a major civil rights-era reform, the Voting Rights Act. A 5-4 ruling, and it rewrites a key element of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which for 50 years has given the federal government unprecedented say in everything, from how states draw their congressional maps, to where they place polling locations. It was all rooted in the belief that southern states were highly discriminatory against blacks, not letting them vote, not letting them register, so the states were totally subservient to the federal government when it came to voting. https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2013/06/25/the_left_is_in_tizzy_over_the_supreme_court_ruling_on_the_voting_rights_act/ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
