Don’t miss this NYT preview of the NAMUDNO oral argument. The article is remarkable given Ellen’s past defenses of Section 5’s constitutionality.
See also this piece by Ed Blum in the Weekly Standard, this editorial in the Hattiesburg-American, Anne Lewis v. John Lewis in the AJC, this report at CQPolitics, and this BLT report on the recent AEI forum on the case.
My Slate preview is here, and those who want a trip down memory lane to 2006 can peruse my VRA renewal guest blogging series, featuring the legal scholars who’ve been thinking about these issues for years.
I plan to listen to the oral argument when the audio is released right after argument tomorrow, and post some thoughts later tomorrow.
