In a zero-sum world, in which blacks have a “civil right” to engage in electoral fraud, …any attempt to enforce election laws is a “racist” attempt to “disenfranchise” them.
You can have the rule of law, based on the U.S. Constitution. Or you can have “diversity”, “civil rights” laws, and the corrupt, racist, federal agencies dedicated to imposing them.
Justice Department attorneys and those from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund are of one mind: Section 5 exists for “minorities”, and thus must be retained.
Since the entire 1965 Voting Rights Act was designed for blacks, these officials aren’t saying anything new. They see it as fit and proper not only to have laws just for blacks as against whites—so-called “civil rights” laws—but also for those laws to have a superior force to all other, color-blind, laws. Thus does America now have a dual system of law:
An emerging first class law system, privileging “protected” groups, including Hispanics, the handicapped, homosexuals and criminal invaders;
A second-class law system, covering unprotected white Americans in their relations to each other.
Which is not what my copy of the Constitution says.
