MSNBC: “It’s not clear from Holder’s comments whether the Justice Department intends simply to file amicus briefs in support of the laws’ challengers, or whether it plans to intervene as a new plaintiff—and assign government lawyers to the cases—as it did when it challenged North Carolina’s sweeping voting law last year. It might be more likely to choose the latter route in Ohio, where there hasn’t yet been a ruling on the merits of the recent cuts, than in Wisconsin, where a court has already struck down the voter ID law.”
