MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:Is the Supreme Court poised to deliver another blow to the landmark Voting Rights Act? KELLY: The Voting Rights Act, as you well know, was designed to protect racial minorities from discrimination in voting - Section 2 of that act. This is a textbook - a textbook example of a violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The state solicitor general, Edmund LaCour, says that the law, the Voting Rights Act, was meant to cover only intentional discrimination. If you now take that away, the Voting Rights Act will essentially be hollowed out and will really mean - make more important congressional action to put in place a new Voting Rights Act.
