0:00.0 | Supreme Court rule today that states can no longer be judged by voting discrimination that went on |
0:07.3 | decades ago. This is a decision that marks the end of a major civil rights era reform, the |
0:14.0 | voting rights act, a five to four ruling, and it re-writes a key element of the voting rights act |
0:21.2 | in 1965, which for 50 years has given the federal government unprecedented say in everything, |
0:31.6 | from how states draw their congressional maps to where they place polling location. It was all |
0:36.4 | rooted in the belief that southern states were highly discriminatory against blacks, |
0:44.0 | not letting them vote, not letting them register. So the states were totally subservient |
0:49.4 | to the federal government when it came to voting. The federal government under this act had |
0:54.3 | the right to tell the states everything. How they were going to draw their districting maps, |

1:39.2 | the fact that Romney in 59 Philadelphia voting districts didn't get one vote? Romney did not get |
1:49.2 | one vote, zero votes and 59 districts. Now, if there are voting violations taking place today, |
1:58.0 | it's the Democrat Party. Anyway, this thing has been thrown out now and the left is in a tizzy. |
2:03.5 | It's good news for the states who redistricted when the GOP took over and are being sued for doing |
2:10.5 | so now. It's a quote, quote from the Washington Times story beneath the legal ruling is a broader |
2:16.9 | social statement with the justices saying that a state cannot be perpetually held responsible |
2:24.4 | for past discrimination if there's no evidence that it still exists. I mean, this cuts right to |
