It came from the hearing. Copied directly from the link you provided. She was questioning the solicitor representing Shelby Co. Didn't you read the transcript fully?
IMO, no it is not their purpose or intention nor do I believe they will overthrow the law. The question here is about preclearance which can certainly be a matter of constutionality especially considering it is not evenly applied to all the states. A few years back (2005 i think) this came up and it was stated that Congress would need to take up some 'trigger' to alleviate the requirements...or not. I believe Kagen brought it up again in this hearing.
No I dind't read the whole transcript fully. But I'm not asking who she was talking to but what incident she was referring to that they hadn't changed.
