"A Leadership of Cowards? Why is Eric Holder embarrassed about enforcing civil rights in Noxubee County?"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"A Leadership of Cowards? Why is Eric Holder embarrassed about enforcing civil rights in Noxubee County?" Today at National Review Online, Hans A. von Spakovsky has an essay that begins, "Attorney General Eric Holder calls the U.S. 'a nation of cowards' because we 'do not talk enough about race.' I find this ironic, since the Justice Department seems embarrassed about a recent judgment in its favor by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. U.S. v. Ike Brown is a major Voting Rights Act case involving intentional race-based discrimination by local officials in Noxubee County, Miss."

You can view the Fifth Circuit's ruling from last month in that case at this link.
