Was a covered jurisdiction. Shelby county had been kind of a modal of Voting Rights, to be honest with you, for a decent time. There had been cities and towns that had problems but Shelby County itself was pretty good. So we signed them on. They decided to file a complaint. And so we did that. One of the thing that is we decided to do from the outset though was to bring two claims, which ended up being important, i think. The first was a challenge to section 4 b itself which was the coverage formula. The second was to bring a challenge to section 5. So because of some thing that is the court had said in northwest austin about coverage being outdated we thought breaking it down that way would crystalize the issue for the courts. That is the way we proceeded and ultimately the way that the court ruled. It ruled on the section 4 b issue finding that the coverage formula was outdated and did not respond to Current Conditions. Did not rule on the section 5 issue. So basically the base line

President s and congress has followed, that this would lead to a paralysis of our ability to defend ourselves. All of the framers agreed about war and i dont think that is true either like bruce said. I would look at the constitutional text. I have a free copy someone gave me. I expect some place like the committee on the republic we have one. Article 1 says no state shall without the consent of congress engage in war unless actually invaded or in such eminent danger delay isnt allowed. That is the constitutional balance of powers that bruce thinks should apply between the president and congress. All you would have to do is take out the word state and put in the word president. Unless we are invaded or danger of attack. Why couldnt the framers written that if they had intended what bruce said . Instead they wrote provisions that gave some power to congress, some to the president and expected them to fight it out. I want to bring the argument to the contemporary period. I know john was

Ive wanted to just ask, and given their really awful situation that we have in dealing with this very murky sort of war against terrorists, addressing what would seem to be your tough criticisms of Homeland Security and those operations, it is obvious enough that there are domestic threats that need to be dealt with. What does make sense . Profiling. Profiling. That is how the israelis do it. To be perfectly explicit, but the profiles are and how they are to be pursued. Explicit profiling is subject, as it should be commented democratic debate about what the threats are and how they had to be dealt with. What we have now is so necessarily a kind of bill live via a hidden, arbitrary profiling. And you, because of y
