But #Trump torched that plan in his social media post early Wednesday morning, just hours before Clayton was scheduled to have a confirmation hearing before the #Senate #Intelligence Committee. He said he would delay the proceedings, all but guaranteeing that #BillPulte would take the job at the end of this week as the acting director of national intelligence [#DNI].

#Trump said Wednesday that he would seek to delay the #Senate confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton his nominee for director of national intelligence [#DNI], as he renewed pressure on #Congress to pass a #voting restrictions bill — a strict voter identification #law that does not have enough support among #Republicans to advance.

Trump Pulls Back Intelligence Pick to Pressure Congress on Elections Bill

President Trump named Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, after a bipartisan backlash to his earlier choice of Bill Pulte. The move all but assures that Mr. Pulte will hold the job, at least for a while.

Dear Senator/Representative:

I need you to step forward and firmly assert that the federal government has no role in elections. The Constitution places the states, not the Executive Branch, in charge of elections. The attempt by this Republican Administration to insert a Homeland Security / US Postal Service vetting process into voting is unconstitutional and I need you to make a loud stand about this in every hearing. Hold press conferences, get on the talk shows, and make it clear that this Republican Administration is again violating the Constitution.

I have seen the recent reporting showing cases where USPS is demanding that states provide the postal service with information about absentee ballot voters and vote-by-mail state voters so that it can decide whether or not to deliver the ballots.

If your name is not on that list, USPS will not deliver your ballot.

There is nothing in the Constitution and nothing in Federal Law that inserts the postal service and Department of Homeland Security in any voting process.

The federal government’s attempt to insert itself in the process of validating voters is unconstitutional.

Get a resolution to this effect on the floor of Congress. Make it clear that these attempts to hijack the Constitution will not stand.

Since #SCOTUS’ April ruling, largely #white #Republican-led legislatures across the #South have moved to dismantle #Black political #power at stunning speed, breaking apart voting blocs at the urging of a failing president desperate to keep control of #Congress in this fall’s midterm #elections.

In more recent years, an increasingly ideological #SCOTUS began issuing rulings that weakened the #VRA. On April 29, SCOTUS’ 6–3 conservative majority eviscerated much of what was left of the #law, effectively saying that the #legislation Americans marched, bled & died for decades ago was no longer necessary. Congressional maps that diminish the #Black #vote are now acceptable, acc/to the court, so long as state lawmakers *say* they are drawing them on the basis of partisan advantage & not race.
