On another note, how is it possible for the DOJ to overturn VoterID in Texas,...

That's my question as well. Where's the statutory authority to stop Texas from enforcing their law? Can somebody help me out here?

Supposedly they have jurisdiction over certain states as a holdover from the Jim Crow era to regulate voting laws that they consider racially discriminatory.

Texans, by their nature and genetic makeup are extreme racists and therefore need more Federal Government regulations to civilize them.

nope.

There was a "civil rights" law passed in '65 that had to do with about 7 or 8 Southern States, that were viewed as bad and racist and when the law was about to expire in '06 the pubbies and GWB from Texas, extended it for another 25 years.

Ball-less bastards, all.
