Sensenbrenner sure isn't wasting any time joining Pelosi, Dingy Harry, Obama and Holder, he sounds like he's trying to be the Rubio of the House.

[Texas56]

What is it with these stupid Republicans? They just have to find ways to either shoot themselves in the foot or stab us in the back.

[VanDeKoik]

That .00000000000001% in extra black votes is in the bag now!!!!

[jazusamo]

This isn’t the first time he’s joined the Rats on this.

GOP harakiri alert!

[FredZarguna]

The issue does not need to be revisited, and this grandstanding is foolish. The regulation of the franchise was never intended to be the province of the Federal Government, but the post Civil War Amendments gave the Feds sweeping authority to achieve manumission ... authority it became clear would be necessary in the face of Southern intransigence.

Those days are long over. The SCOTUS was (accidentally, it appears, on the basis of today's bizarre decisions) correct, and Republicans should let it die the quiet death it deserves.

[Buckeye McFrog]

You show me ANY Black person in this country who is

-18 or older
-Registered in their state and district
-Not a felon

who has EVER been denied their right to vote. Absolutely NO ONE involved in the elections process would deny a black person his right to vote. For one thing with Obama and Eric Holder in there you’d reap the whirlwind coming down on your head. For another this isn’t 1962.

[FredZarguna]

If we roll over on this we’re sure to get the black vote.

[Wisconsinlady]

Has Sensenbrenner taken leave of his senses?

[jazusamo]

You’re absolutely right.

[Ray76]

That R next to his name means retard.

[cripplecreek]

"the threat of discrimination still exists,"

And its an exclusively an urban democrat threat.

It needs to be dealt with but not by the feds.

[2CAVTrooper]

“trying to be the Rubio of the House.”

I thought that title was already taken by crybaby bonehead I mean boehner.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

We don’t win any wars with these guys. I am through with Republicans...I don’t need this.
Go ahead an flame me... it wont change the fact we are led by absolute morons who leave their spines in the house or senate cloak room and then wuss out on votes.

GOP harakiri alert!

Unfortunately they do not have enough honor the even commit harakiri.

[FredZarguna]

That R next to his name means retard.

We prefer to be called "little people."

[Venturer]

Has Sensenbrenner taken leave of his senses?

Either that or he never had any top begin with.

He must have an appointment to perform a Monica on Obama.

[a fool in paradise]

Anything to investigate the 101% voter support in some precincts? Or 100% of the vote going to Obama in over 50 precincts?

Or is that not the kind of racist discrimination we are looking for in elections anymore?

As a member of the newest minority in America, white people deserve an answer.

[beelzepug]

“...this isn’t 1962.”

The New Black Panthers will see that there aren’t any problems. Senselessbrenner needs to BTFO.

[a fool in paradise]

The days of Klansmen like Robert Byrd s#itting in Congress are behind us. Someone was liable to put a racist like that in ascendancy to the White House...
