I think we'll soon see. In 2006 the vote to extend the Voting Rights Act was 98-0 in the Senate and 393-33 in the House. (One of the 33 was the Divine Tiberius' hero, Ron Paul, who, while he is a scumbag is at least a consistent scumbag.)
Of course, that was 4 years before the Tea Bagging Shitheads lost their ever-loving minds because a black guy got elected president. I don't think they are over it yet.
I don't think we'll have long to wait.

Quote:Within two hours of the court’s ruling, Democrats from President Obama to Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, a key committee chairman, had said Congress must take the court up on its invitation to act.
But there was almost complete silence from House Republicans.
“As long as Republicans have a majority in the House and Democrats don’t have 60 votes in the Senate, there will be no preclearance,” said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.
House Speaker John A. Boehner deferred to his committee chairman, who gave little indication they see the need for action. And Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., the Wisconsin Republican who spearheaded renewal of the Voting Rights Act in 2006, was silent, with his office not responding to requests for comment.
