The declaration from this Supreme Court in this case, as well as the position, political position of many of my colleagues, is we don't need it anymore. We don't have discrimination anymore. I don't believe that's true. I wish it were true, but I don't believe it's true. The basic question we have to ask ourselves is whether or not we are denying to some Americans who are qualified and legally eligible to vote an opportunity to do so. (02:34–02:38)
