john lewis bill house-approved

The bill approved Tuesday centers around restoring the federal preclearance originally instituted by the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which was eroded by a 2013 Supreme Court decision.

The preclearance required states and jurisdictions with histories of racial discrimination — largely the Jim Crow South — to gain approval from the Department of Justice before implementing any change to voting procedure.

In the landmark Shelby v. Holder case, the Supreme Court ruled that the formula used to dictate the preclearance threshold was outdated and therefore unconstitutional. However, at the time, Chief Justice John Roberts left the door open for Congress to draft an updated formula that would more accurately reflect the status of voting rights around the country.

Also included in the bill is a booster for Section 2 of the VRA following a July decision from the country’s top court that upheld a pair of Arizona voting restrictions.

it will now go to the senate where, if 100% of the dems agree to forgo the filibuster, it could pass with a simple majority but that's unlikely to happen

Hate to say it, but he probably has nothing to lose by voting against a civil rights bill.

So red states have to check with blue ones before governing their own states?

LOL...fuck you and fuck the John Lewis Bill.

We're going to do what the fuck we want and there isn't shit you can do about it.

This isn't a civil rights bill, this is an anti-civil right bill you backwards commie fuckwad.

MOOoooooo.....

 

[bellisarius]

I doubt that it will survive a court challenge, if it even makes it through the Senate.

Further, it will have no effect on any legislation that was passed by the states prior to it becoming law. (ex post facto clause)

Long term it will impact, definitely. And that's the point.

The bill itself was crafted to survive court challenges. The elections clause gives the federal government a role in election regulation.

I don't think it matters if it does or not anymore, and it shouldn't.

Rules don't matter to blue states, why should they matter to red ones??

And if they do then (R)'s get what they deserve for being cucks.

I second the motion!!!!

Come and take it.

Negative Comrade74, you're going to have to eat a big fat dick on the whole blue states controlling red state elections.

No, but would have to check with the feds before changing their own election procedures -- a not unreasonable step, considering how the red states responded to the SCOTUS' previous gutting of the VRA.

 

[pecksniff]

Come and take it.

Someday, that is going to happen and you won't put up any fight.

 

[CornusKousa]

No

I'm glad you agree that the feds need to fuck off.

Someday, that is going to happen and you won't put up any fight.

No, it's not

Because you and yours know better.

 

[pecksniff]

I'm glad you agree that the feds need to fuck off.

You are talking about the red states' autonomy with respect to suppressing minority votes. Are you sure that's the states'-rights hill you want to die on?

 

[YDB95]

I second the motion!!!!

Thank you both for at least being honest about your desire to see Jim Crow reinstated as much as possible.

Yes, you are going to have to do what is right, whether you like it or not.
Racist states(there are none)....please!... wherever racist like you exist and live.... blahahahaha!

Jump Jim Crow, jump Jim Crow
How do you do, you walk so slow
Like a little red rooster with one trick leg
Looks like you the one laying the egg
I don't know when but it'll be real soon
Going down the road by the light of the moon
Going to the city to see Zip Coon
Going to the city to see Zip Coon

Each and every Republican in the House voted against the American citizen's access to the right to vote. My congressman voted against it. You can bet he'll hear from me about that if he has the balls to run again in 2022.

Fantastic album. Thank heavens I already owned a copy when she went off the deep end.

More lies. The department of justice is skewed, biased and controlled by the deep state. Merrick Garland is a Eric Holder clone, Biden’s wing man. This is a back door attempt at hr-1. There’s zero republican support for this bill. This is more of Nancy’s tyranny by party majority. If the filibuster rule is abolished in the senate Dems will pay dearly for pushing that agenda for short term gains. There is no voter suppression, this bill is a power grab by Democrats, an attempt at making big government bigger. Pelosi has destroyed the integrity and cohesion of the house.

Stuff your Jim Crow bullshit.

This is what's wrong with our country.

That shit again?

There is no voter suppression, this bill is a power grab by Democrats . . .

If there is no voter suppression, how would this bill enhance Democrats' power?

 

[YDB95]

There’s zero republican support for this bill.

You always bring that up as if it means anything. It doesn't, except that the Republicans are just fine with removing protections that were put there for a very good reason.

 

[pecksniff]

Don't forget it was Newt Gingrich who invented that.
