The House Judiciary Committee holds two hearings tomorrow on VRA renewal. Panel 1 includes Gerry Hebert, Roger Clegg, and Debo Adegbile. Panel 2 includes Rena Comisac, Chris Norby, Karen Naraski, and Dr. James Thomas Tucker. [UPDATE: By clicking on Panel 1 above and then each witness’s name, you can download the prepared testimony.]
I have been invited to testify at the May 9 hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. I do not know who else has been invited to testify at this hearing. I hope to talk about ways to strengthen the bill so that the Supreme Court won’t strike it down as unconstitutional.
