"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."

"Yet, the Supreme Court has treated this special statute worse than other law passed by Congress, first, by eviscerating section 4, and thus, castrating section 5."
