		<description>race based discrimination and perpetual employment for those who &quot;monitor&quot; it.

Sorry any congressional law that is open ended and on going w/o a termination clause is automatically suspect when it comes to creating and funding such work.  Even LE agencies that come under Judicial oversight have a way to petition for release.

/yep the author is either racist or self serving. Since the original &quot;perps&quot; are no longer in power and in some cases the &quot;victims&quot; are now in charge and  suffer under this funded oversight.</description>

		<description>You are proposing legislation that is purely pre-emptive, i.e. anticipating a problem that even in your own words has been mitigated for at least 25 years.  

I doubt that any state is going to pass any legislation that would subject them to federal oversight again.  As evidenced in the past election where you had selected precincts voting 100% to a single (Democrat)candidate, the issue that people are disenfranchised is effectively moot.

(And, I trust that if 100% of votes in a single precinct went to the other candidate, that Ms. (Mr.) Nelson would be the first to wave the &quot;flag of malfeasance&quot;.)

Playing the race card (again and again) only resonates with your audience that already embraces your theology of victimization.  The rest of us prefer to look past the color of your skin.  Move on.</description>

		<description>What laws like &#039;Section 5&#039; actually do is provide a full employment package for people like the author to spend their working lives clubbing the rest of society in the courts.

Its always about money.

I will guarantee you this author has spent her life writing grant proposals to secure government funding for one race-based advocacy group, or another.

So while you, and I, and honest working people of all hues dash out the door and actually create wealth, she, and others of her ilk are comfortably living off government largesse and thinking of ways to tell us how down-trodden and oppressed they are.

Get a real job.</description>

		<description>How about Section 5 apply to all states, whether there is an obvious history of rampant racial discrimination or not?

@jaham, No, jurisdictions without such a history should not be allowed to pass racially discriminative laws. Generally speaking they don&#039;t. Nice try, though.</description>

		<description>So jurisdictions without such a history should be allowed to propose/pass racially discriminative laws without the same scrutiny?</description>
