[See NewsBusters for more.] During his Saturday show on MSNBC, Ali Velshi attacked members of the "ultra-conservative" Supreme Court for allegedly gutting voting rights and longed for the days when voting rights were respected.
Velshi kicked off his monologue by declaring, "Voting rights in America are in bad shape and Congress is at an impasse when it comes to fixing them. Once upon a time in America, however, we did have laws meant to guarantee that every American who had a right to vote was able to vote, a law that was actually quite effective at stopping state and local governments from passing laws that were meant to deny voting rights to Americans based on their race."
