Excerpt from A Discussion of the Constitutionality of the Act of Congress of March 2, 1867: Authorizing the Seizure of Books and Papers for Alleged Frauds Upon the Revenue, Together With a Brief Statement of Certain Objections to the Practical Working of the Law This pamphlet is published at the request of the Special Committee upon Revenue Reform of the New York Chamber of Commerce. The writer desires to express his acknowledgments for suggestions derived from the printed report of the argument of Mr. Sidney Webster, in 1867, upon the old law; and from the pamphlet of Mr. Cephas Brainerd, in 1870, upon proposed amendments to the present law.

The Voting Rights Act (VRA) was successfully challenged in a June 2013 case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder. The suit challenged the constitutionality of Sections 4 and 5 of the VRA, under which certain jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination in voting-mostly in the South-were required to "pre-clear" changes to the election process with the Justice Department (the U.S. Attorney General) or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The preclearance provision (Section 5) was based on a formula (Section 4) that considered voting practices and patterns in 1964, 1968, or 1972. At issue in Shelby County was whether Congress exceeded its constitutional authority when it reauthorized the VRA in 2006-with the existing formula-thereby infringing on the rights of the states. In its ruling, the Court struck down Section 4 as outdated and not "grounded in current conditions." As a consequence, Section 5 is intact, but inoperable, unless or until Congress prescribes a new Section 4 formula.
