Supreme Court rejects expanded voting rights protections (Kennedy, Obama, elect)

[Greatday]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court refused Monday to expand the protections for minorities under the federal voting rights law, a decision that may affect the redrawing of legislative boundaries after the 2010 Census.

By a 5-4 vote, the court's conservative majority ruled that electoral districts must have a majority of blacks or other minorities to be protected by a provision of the Voting Rights Act.

Another power-grab effort by the democrats. Thank god we kinda, sorta, maybe still have SCOTUS. As long as the 4 conservatives remain, along with Kennedy, a moderate, obama will not be able to do too much damage there.

All he can appoint is like for like.
