SCOTUS strikes a blow FOR Civil Rights

 SCOTUS struck down a small portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Section 4, on the basis that The formula for determining discriminatory practices in those 9 states is 50 years old, and those conditions largely do not exist anymore. The defense failed to provide any documentary evidence that these 9 states, and six counties are today exhibiting practices that are vastly different from any of the non pre-clearance states. The Court laid it back in Congress lap, to update the laws formula to cease discriminating against those pre-clearance states based upon actions from 50 years ago. CIVIL RIGHTS, are not black, white, brown, Asian, female, male, or any other preferred subgroup. They are CIVIL meaning they apply to everyone. Dr. King dreamed of a colorblind society where his children would be judged NOT by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. That will never be a dream fulfilled as long as government perpetuates a discriminatory system based upon race.
