Posted by Orin Kerr: Testimony on Constitutionality of DC Voting Rights Bill: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_03_29-2009_04_04.shtml#1238609975
The [1]Washington Post article cited below on the constitutionality of the DC Voting Rights bill references DOJ testimony in 2007 by John Elwood, then a Deputy at OLC. You can find the testimony [2]here; it seems quite persuasive to me. For the contrary view, see Ken Starr's 2004 testimony [3]here.
