I’m going to have some posts discussing Ari Berman’s essential book on the war on the Voting Right Act, but it seems worth noting in this context that Republican efforts to negate the preclearance provisions of the VRA go back to Strom Thurmond working with the Last Liberal President (TM) Richard Nixon. John Roberts was being a party man when he let Shelby County loose on the country.
