[EL] Supreme Court Grants Cert in Shelby County

[Bryan Tyson]

Order issued today: http://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/110912zr_d18e.pdf

Question for review: Whether Congress' decision in 2006 to reauthorize Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act under the pre-existing coverage formula of Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act exceeded its authority under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and thus violated the Tenth Amendment and Article IV of the United States Constitution.
