Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) on Thursday ripped into the Justice Department for filing suit in an effort to force Texas to receive federal preclarance in order to change their voting laws.
“By first going around the voters and now the Supreme Court, Attorney General Holder and President Obama’s intentions are readily transparent,” he said. “This decision has nothing to do with protecting voting rights and everything to do with advancing a partisan political agenda.
“Texans should not — and will not — stand for the continued bullying of our state by the Obama Administration.”
