DOJ to Challenge SCOTUS Decision
Justice Department will urge a federal judge to subject the State of Texas to the pre-clearance procedure
Gov. Rick Perry slammed the move. “Once again, the Obama Administration is demonstrating utter contempt for our country’s system of checks and balances, not to mention the U.S. Constitution,” he said in a statement. “This end-run around the Supreme Court undermines the will of the people of Texas, and casts unfair aspersions on our state’s common-sense efforts to preserve the integrity of our elections process.”
