Bloomberg View Editorial on Bail-In

Interesting:

This is hardly ideal. The executive branch is by definition more partisan (still) than the judiciary. At least the double standard that applied to so many Southern states under the old Voting Rights Act had the support of Congress and the force of law. Now the Obama administration’s every attempt to prevent voter discrimination will become mired in partisan, local and racial politics.

That doesn’t mean Holder is wrong. The Justice Department’s involvement in the lawsuit against Texas is both welcome and necessary. Better still would be a Congress, and a Republican Party, equally dedicated to protecting the right to vote.
