Economist’s View: In the U.S. and the UK, conservatives are “gambling with the economy for political ends.”

SCOTUSblog: On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Shelby County v. Holder, a case which could spell the end of the “pre-clearance” requirements of the Voting Rights Act.
