Charles Pierce | It's Time to Stop the Saudis
Charles Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: "The slaughter was of Kosovo's ethnic Albanians, most of whom were Muslims, a community that, until all hell broke loose, generally lived in harmony with its Christian neighbors. I mention all this because, as The New York Times reports, our great good friends, the Saudis, and their affiliated statelets around the Persian Gulf, are doing their best to start the bloodletting all over again."

Alice Ollstein, ThinkProgress
Ollstein writes: "One of the most conservative courts in the nation is hearing a challenge Tuesday to Texas' voter ID law from the state conference of the NAACP and the Mexican American Legislative Caucus. These groups, represented by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, argues that the voter ID requirement suppresses the votes of people of color, who are much less likely to have a proper ID and much more likely to face barriers to getting one."
