I can't agree more with all of you who say that we can't take our eye off the ball, as far as overseas, as far as the Islamist threat, the terror threat.

I support Section 3 and its application to proven instances of discriminatory treatment in voting.

Not only is Mississippi the poorest State in the Union, but it underfunds much of the basic needs of African Americans.

The problem with disparate impact theory in the voting rights context is that disparate impact is often used to falsely impute racism or discrimination.

Disparate impact claims are a form of identity politics, and they contradict, for example, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s admonition to focus on consciences rather than racial groups.

Disparate impacts are not proof of discrimination. Indeed, they are statistically inevitable.

It is there. It is evil.
