It's shameful on so many levels --

Shelby County, Rucho (refusing to get into partisan gerrymandering), and this case effectively repealed the VRA. There is no circumstance now in which a Section 2 violation could be proved that wouldn't already be covered by the Equal Protection Clause.

The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments gave Congress the power to enforce them for good reason.

It's pretty damn rich for Alito to be proclaiming how great race relations are when his only Black friend is probably Thomas. The Supreme Court is legislating from the bench, exactly the crime they accused the Warren Court of.

Perhaps most sickening of all is that the Supreme Court (until now) has always held off on making significant voting-rights decisions close to elections.

I'll say it again. One of most significant events in modern U.S. history was HRC being squeezed out of the presidency by 78K votes. If she had won, Kagan would probably be the center of the Supreme Court, not the senior member of the liberal bloc.

If the Democrats could take back the Senate Trump could be denied an appointment to the Supreme Court if one of them keels over or resigns. Probably the Dems need to get to 52 because of that fucktard Fetterman and the fact that Vance breaks ties.
