On America's Newsroom this morning, we got Judge Andrew Napolitano's reaction to a major ruling by the Supreme Court on the Voting Rights Act. The justices ruled that a provision of the law that determines which states -- primarily in the South -- need federal oversight of their election laws is unconstitutional. In a 5-4 decision, the court said Congress could try to pass a new provision.

Napolitano explained that changes to election systems, such as moving polling places or requiring voters to show ID, happen all the time around the country with no involvement from the Justice Department. Today's ruling means that these southern states can now make changes to election laws without the Justice Department having a say.

The law requiring the involvement of the Justice Department was put in place in many areas of the South that had a history of racial discrimination.

"Basically the Supreme Court said that history of discrimination against African-Americans is history. It's eradicated. There's no longer any contemporary data that it's still going on and therefore there's no reason to impose this additional burden on those states while not imposing it on any others," said Napolitano.
