AG Holder on NAMUDNO

From a speech the Attorney General gave yesterday (via BLT):

    As you know, the Supreme Court is currently considering a case that challenges the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. No matter how the Court resolves this issue, I pledge that the Justice Department will continue working to enforce our nation’s voting rights laws. And we will fight efforts to discriminate in the voting booth just as earnestly as we fight efforts to discriminate in the job or housing markets. You have my word, my friends. Our commitment to Equal Protection — and to full participation in our nation’s elections — will not waiver. Never.
