Quickies: Poll Tax Upheld and Wright Interviewed

See here (n.b. Rick Hasen) for today's pathetic opinion upholding a voter id law -- fantasy problem = okaying burden on fundamental right to vote + de facto poll tax. Meanwhile, good Bill Moyers interview of Rev. Wright, but it failed to answer certain criticisms, including one Moyers made in his introduction (the U.S. government spreading HIV?). Saying Obama's comments are "political," while yours are "religious" also is pretty nonresponsive. He said some of your words were wrong. Agree? Why or why not? BTW, JW might try to be a bit more low key of late.
