Has anyone else noticed that every time Obama is elected, the conservative majority on the SCOTUS attempts to cut back the power of progressives? One example is Citizens United which I believe was a direct response to the fact that Obama raised millions of dollars from small contributors. The right wingers on the Supreme Court freaked out and ordered that the Citizens United case be reheard on issues that hadn't been raised in the original arguments. Why? Because they wanted to make sure that conservatives could spend millions to defeat Obama in 2012.
Now, after Obama's re-election in which he carried two Southern states, VA and FL, they want to overturn Section 5 of the VRA. Why? Because the electoral strategy of the GOP depends on carrying all the states of the Confederacy in the Electoral College. Losing two of the most populous states in the Confederacy means that it is much harder for a Republican to get the 270 votes necessary to carry the presidency.
It is an example of Obama Derangement on the Supreme Court.
