WOULD SOMEONE ASK JUSTICE SCALIA FOR CITATIONS?

karoli at Crooks & Liars provides some of Scalia's comments about the Voting Rights Act:
And this last enactment, not a single vote in the Senate against it. And the House is pretty much the same. Now, I don't think that's attributable to the fact that it is so much clearer now that we need this. I think it is attributable, very likely attributable, to a phenomenon that is called perpetuation of racial entitlement. It's been written about. Whenever a society adopts racial entitlements, it is very difficult to get out of them through the normal political processes.
(1) Who wrote about it?
(2) Which societies?
