"I think that the approach that this Congress has been taking in the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is an appropriate one."

"Should Congress look at other indicators in addition to registration and turnout to measure the pervasiveness or persistence of race discrimination in the voting process?"

"The majority of the Court appears to fear that the Voting Rights Act is too, quote, 'radical,' end quote, that it will invalidate too many State voting laws."

"To paraphrase Justice Kagan, never before has a statute been as extraordinary, required more sacrifice, and done more to advance our democracy than the Voting Rights Act."
