As we evaluate and critique the judicial systems in non-liberal (democracies?) at best in Russia and China, news of the day on the challenges to the Voting Rights Act in Alabama and coming to SCOTUS next week in Shelby County v. Holder, No. 12-96, make us realize the importance of an independent judiciary and a citizen's right (not privlege) to cast a ballot.

It's interesting how "kicking someone off the ballot" in America is a big deal, as we value our freedom and are used to this right, yet in Russia, regardless of who you vote for, Putin will always be in power. Voting isn't a right in Russia. Honestly, it isn't anything because of all the corruption.
