Rosa Parks helped make great changes to the US. Sadly, there are move to reverse those changes. Shelby county, is trying to the SCOTUS reverse the Voting Rights Protection Act. Antonin Scalia described the act as "pertuation of racial entitlement." worse still it looks like they have the 5 votes need to overturn this law which only applies in districts known for racist voting regulations and really should be expanded. So many asshats, so few lunatic asylums.
