FROM THE EDITORS

Voting Rights: "As the justices consider the case of Shelby County v. Holder . . . they should keep in mind one goal above all others: protecting the right to vote, regardless of region or other circumstances. . . . Maybe the question isn't whether it's time to end the federal government's special oversight of the South. It's how to extend that level of attention to the whole country."

Sequestration: "All told, economists expect the sequestration plus last month's fiscal-cliff deal to slow the pace of GDP growth by 1.5 percentage points. That's no small change for an economy growing about 2 percent a year, particularly one that appears to have lost steam in the fourth quarter of 2012. The wreckage could be even greater if Congress fails to extend the government's temporary spending authority, which expires March 27."

U.S.: "In defense terms, the real problem with these cuts is their lack of precision -- as decreed by Congress and the Office of Management and Budget, they must be made evenly across all programs and accounts. . . . By now, everyone involved with what President Dwight D. Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex understands that sequestration-level spending is the long-term reality."

Peter Orszag

"The sequestration that is about to take effect imposes too much austerity too soon, does so in a nonsensical way, and yet does little to improve the long-term U.S. fiscal picture. Far more beneficial would be to make sure that the deceleration in health costs we have been enjoying continues. This is why medical-malpractice reform, although far from a panacea, is worth trying."

Ezra Klein

"The two parties could, at any moment, choose to end sequestration by passing a one-sentence law repealing it. That they're not passing that law -- or some alternative -- is a choice, evidence that the parties prefer sequestration to any other option. What sequestration proves is that the American government is dumb."

Jeffrey Goldberg

The debate about the confirmation of Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel to secretary of defense "has yielded numerous lessons, some of which might have a useful effect on the national discourse if actually understood."

On the NCAA: "Never again will the words 'Miami' and 'scandal' conjure images of a rogue college football program. From now on, they will conjure images of a rogue college sports association, one that finally seems destined for major changes."

"U.S. conservatives continue a healthy debate over how they can reconnect with voters and channel their ideals and goals into policies relevant for the 21st century. But a specter haunts these conversations -- a ghost called the ownership society."
