		<description>So much for post-partisan and post-racial.  It&#039;s actually pro-partisan and pro-racist.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Face reality, this is the most partisanly-corrupt DOJ in recent history.&lt;/i&gt;

Um....do you remember Alberto Gonzalez. Or should I say, do you recall?

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Blacks should be required to vote for the Democratic Party candidate. That way actually going to the polls would not be necessary for blacks. Simply count up the number of registered black voters in any given district, and add that number to the Democrat’s tally.
Simple. No fuss. Change you can believe in.&lt;/i&gt;

Rather than engage in such silly bs, you should ask yourself why African Americans feel so repulsed by the Republican party.</description>

		<description>15. John:

Why are you surprised? The Holder Justice Department has been a joke for 9 months; can you name a single thing it has done that is honest or even legal?
---------------------------------------------------
They did take down a large Mexican drug cartel. Though I doubt it was started and finished under this DoJ. No doubt they take credit for the hard work of the last DoJ....... So no can&#039;t think of any thing honest or legal.</description>

		<description>F:Apparently under the Act (as I explained) only the township can bring such a suit. They sought to change th rule to save money and aren&#039;t apparently willing to spend more to challenege this.

Ed Lasky has some interesting material to add to this discussion: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/10/does_gerrymandering_for_racial.html. I especially think the last paragraph --that gerrymandered districts by race--something the Act has a role in--is partially responsible for the acrimony in political life because representatives from such districts tend to be the most partisan and extreme.</description>

		<description>Not only is it explicable, you explain it: hyperpartisanship.

So don&#039;t go wringing your hands about &quot;oh, I just don&#039;t understand.&quot;  Face reality, this is the most partisanly-corrupt DOJ in recent history.  The question is, not what it is, but what to do about it.</description>

		<description>I agree that this is both nonsense AND ominous.  I think some law school should take this on as a test case and push for a judicial opinion.  It is flatout racism and if it isn&#039;t unconstitutional then I&#039;m living under a different constitution than I thought.  F</description>

		<description>People should pay very close attention to this for a very basic, and important, reason:

One of the major differences between the US and the rest of the world has been that we are an individualistic nation, as written into our Constitution (and state Constitutions).  We are about the only nation on Earth for which political parties are NOT fundamental political entities.  Political parties do not exist in our Constituton, which is individualistic and holds the individual as the fundamental political entity.  It is the rest of the world, and their moronic, collectivist, party-oriented Euro-style parliamentary systems that have the policital party as the fundamental political entity governing much of the formation and behaviors of their governments.  Now, in the US, we have a ruling trying to establish the primacy of political parties, which is a move to collectivism and more towards the backwards, tribalistic, unstable governmental structures that the rest of the world has, and that we have always been the sole nation without.

This is a very ominous development that strikes at the very heart of our nation.  Add the insane racial idiocy, and this stands as one of the worst actions by our federal government and judiciary, ever.  It is stunning in its un-American and moronic quality.  Just stunning.

This is why our nation will likely not survive the Washington junta, intact.  National suicide was declared on Nov 4th and it seems almost surely to come to pass.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In Kinston elections, voters base their choice more on the race of a candidate than his or her political affiliation, and without either the appeal to party loyalty or the ability to vote a straight ticket, the limited support from white voters for a black Democratic candidate will diminish even more. And given that the city’s electorate is overwhelmingly Democratic, while the motivating factor for this change may be partisan, the effect will be strictly racial.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is such an appalling paragraph.  First of all, it represents a DoJ official sanctioning, excusing, and &lt;i&gt;enabling&lt;/i&gt; racial discrimiation in voting, since they are trying to preserve the status quo of Kingston voters basing their vote &quot;more on the race of a candidate than his or her political affiliation.&quot;  Wonderful.

Of course, the paragraph is also non-sensical, since it says that voters base their choice on race and not party, and therefore we must retain party affiliation to enable voters to continue making their choice based on race.  Huh?  Perhaps Kingston should drop the (D) and (R) from the ballots and replace them with (B), (W), (H) and (A).</description>
