Way to come up with another coverage formula that s narrowly tailored so it passes constitutional muster. ari, i m reading from your article that you posted on our website you noted that hearings are being led in the judiciary committee on the constitution headed by trent franks there. one of only 33 republicans who voted against reauthorizing the vote rights in 2006 and you had noted 390 members voted for it there. so does this already spell doom? i don t think it spells doom. i think he s a minority of a minority of the members of congress who did pose this as the last time. as the congresswoman pointed out this has strong bipartisan support. i spoke last night to the democratic ranking member on that same committee and he said basically look with all due respect to congressman franks this is above his pay grade. this is a big question for the republican party for people like ....

These states are republican led. what s your thought here? is it realistic to think they will even consider work with democrats on this issue? yes. i think hope springs eternal. you know, i m a native of selma as you rightfully said and a member that represents the civil rights district and i can tell you while progress has been made in electoral politics we have a long ways to go. i think that as long as there s discriminatory impact that affect all americans the ability to vote we as elected officials should do in our power that we come up with a valid coverage formula. thank you very much. a reminder to watch ari today and every weekday on the cycle. in minutes we re expecting the president to tout the benefits of obama care from the white house at this very location. we ll carry those rorks live. the backlash is not dining down ....

Supreme court decision. they ve got to pass a new coverage formula. it s an issue of democracy and voting rights. i put jobs, i put education, i put voting rights right at the top. we need congress to lead. we need congress to discontinue obstructing. we need action now. do you have any confidence on this congress moving on the voting rights issue. the only way there s going to be an alternative now to the supreme court is there has to be a new voting law in place and i know i was on a call with you the other night. there s discussion of some new legislation. i think that the voting rights act has always had a bipartisan report base. i think we fake this effort to create a new generation of suppressive voter laws in america. ....

I can t read the tea leaves. i don t think any of us can. certainly we re at a point where we don t have anything. and so hopefully, i m hopeful, that a bipartisan congress will look at this and say, you know what, we realize the discrimination still exists in voting. we need to stop it. none of us should be tolerant of it and that they will come together to work with us on a coverage formula. nancy pelosi this week said, and again we re talking about how this would if a fix would probably originate in the senate, but nancy pelosi said she envisioned introducing something in the house being called the john lewis voting rights act. if you had a bill called the john lewis voting rights act and every democrat lined up for, it you have republicans like sensenbrenner maybe lining up for it, what does it look like for a republican party to be saying no at that point? someone like john lewis with a moral stature who almost decide to pass the voting rights act in alabama f you have him o ....

Setback. it crippled the voting rights act but if, in fact, congress can come together and really develop another coverage formula, then we still have section 5. and we intend to make sure that we use every tool that we possibly have, including advocacy within the community, public policy in terms of pushing back on bad laws, section 2 where we can, and certainly justices can help us in that effort, but ultimately we re expecting congress to act. the supreme court was extremely clear racial discrimination still exists. because it still exists then we need to fix that. and fixing that would certainly start with a coverage formula to bring back section 5 and to give it the teeth we need. i want to talk about what that potential fix to the coverage formula would look like. ari, in the meantime, we know even if things happen in congress, they take a long time. in the meantime we ll be existing without section 4 and 5 because of that. functionally how will it work ....
