Sen. Cornyn on Texas Elections

Open Email to Sen. Cornyn and Gov. Perry (TX):

Dear Sen. Cornyn and Gov. Perry,
    I appreciate the Senator's recent efforts to refute claims by Atty. Gen. Holder that Texas voting practices are illegal.
    However while his figures make a good case that Hispanics and Blacks are not being disenfranchised in Texas, it seems to me that this is a matter for the Governor and his staff to defend in federal court. In fact, I suggest that Gov. Perry demand that Atty. Gen. Holder file the case for prosecution in federal court. Any less than this implies that Atty. Gen. Holder may be correct in his assertion.
    I strongly believe that the federal court case will absolve the state of Texas from any wrongdoing on franchise. If the local Federal Court and the Court of Appeals subsequently condemn Texas, I believe that would have been a result of Pres. Obama stacking those courts with his representatives. In that event, the case should be carried by Texas to the Supreme Court.
