What is the AG saying?

Our esteemed Attorney General, Eric Holder, wants to fix the "flaws" he sees in the criminal justice system. One of those flaws, he believes, is that felons forfeit their right to vote. We must correct this injustice, Mr. Holder says.

You see, Mr. Holder contends, if we don't allow felons to vote, it disproportionately affects blacks. Well duh! It wouldn't disproportionately affect blacks if blacks didn't constitute a disproportionate number of the felons in this country!
