House Oversight Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R, Calif.) has written Attorney General Eric Holder regarding the D.C. Voting Rights Act. He sent a letter to Holder yesterday on his decision to ignore advice from the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). The letter reads, in part:

“In your opening statement you pledged, ‘I will work to restore the credibility of a department badly shaken by allegations of improper political interference.’ It is the OLC’s opinion that the D.C. voting rights bill is unconstitutional and yet you have ignored their legal reasoning and judgment. You have taken the first step down the slippery slope of politicization.”
