Civil rights leaders are up in arms over Tony "Three Fingers" Scalia's skeptical questions about a
key portion of the Voting Rights Act, a cornerstone of the civil rights movement that brought an
end to Jim Crow-era racial discrimination at the polls in the South, pissing off sonservatives
Scalia, a stalwart of the court's racist right wing, suggested that the Voting Rights Act was overwhelmingly
reauthorized in 2006 by Congress because Republicans were afraid to oppose a "racial entitlement."
Scalia said that each time the Voting Rights Act has been reauthorized in the past 50 years, more and more
senators supported it, even though the problem of racial discrimination at the polls has decreased over that time.
"Now, I don't think that's attributable to the fact that it is so much clearer now that we need this," he said.
"I think it is very likely attributable to a phenomenon that is called perpetuation of racial entitlement. When a
society adopts racial entitlements, it is very difficult to get out of them through the normal political processes."
