From the “be careful what you wish for” department:

A broad alliance of civil rights and legal groups representing the communities most impacted by Wisconsin’s restrictive voter ID law, as well as all 46 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, filed amici briefs in the U.S. Supreme Court this week urging justices to hear a case against the state’s law. Advancement Project has been challenging the discriminatory law, on behalf of African-American and Latino individual and organizational plaintiffs, for more than two years under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The national civil rights organization brought their suit to the Supreme Court after the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Wisconsin’s law last October.
