SECTION 5



I don’t think (Congress' renewal of the law is) attributable to the fact that it is so much clearer now that we need this. I think it is attributable, very likely attributable, to a phenomenon that is called perpetuation of racial entitlement.

-- Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, while hearing arguments regarding Section 5 of the Voter Rights Act of 1965, and whether or not it is still needed.

Racial Entitlement? WOW. Those words fell out of the mouth of a member of the United States Supreme Court?

Perhaps Justice Scalia should trade in the black robe he wears on the bench for a white one (and the matching hood), instead.
