Tomorrow morning I offer my thoughts on the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. I explain how it went from it being a law celebrated by both parties to something the GOP wants killed--and why SCOTUS may grant their wish.

He was left w/ no way to communicate w/ the men seizing him.

It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.
