The Shelby County ruling by #SCOTUS strikes me as a reasonable one. Yes, preclearance may be necessary, but has to be matched with our time.

The fact that white flight basically helped establish Shelby County, Alabama, is not lost on me today. #SCOTUS #VRA

SCOTUS SIDES WITH SHELBY COUNTY AGAINST HOLDER
SECTION 5 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!— Susan Reaney (@SSReaney) June 25, 2013
So, the upshot here is “since there’s now parity in Shelby County, it’s OK if we do whatever we want in voting regulations.” Suuuuuure.

Quite simply shocked at the Shelby County v. Holder decision.
May have a new "worst SCOTUS ruling" candidate.
