Breh what? Racial discrimination against Black voters is almost actually legal again

[RamsayBolton]

3 Supreme Court justices just said they’re fine with race discrimination in elections

Turns out only half of the Republican justices want to kill off the Voting Rights Act.

Last month, two Republican federal appeals court judges effectively abolished the law banning race discrimination in elections in seven states. On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a brief order blocking this decision. The upshot is that, at least for now, it is still illegal for a state to disenfranchise someone because of the color of their skin.
That said, the most striking thing about the Court’s decision in Turtle Mountain Band v. Howe is that three justices dissented. Although none of them explained why they voted the way they did, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch all voted to leave in place a lower court decision that effectively nullified one of the most consequential civil rights laws in American history.

In Turtle Mountain, two Republicans on the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit handed down a decision that would have rendered what remains of the Voting Rights Act a virtual nonentity. They claimed that private citizens are not allowed to bring lawsuits enforcing the law, which would mean that Voting Rights Act suits could only be brought by the US Justice Department — which is currently controlled by President Donald Trump.

In any event, it now appears that this threat to liberal democracy has been averted. Only half of the Supreme Court’s six Republicans publicly dissented from the Court’s order reinstating the law, and all three of the Court’s Democrats appear to have voted to save the law.

It should be noted that the Court’s order in Turtle Mountain is only temporary. So it is, at least, possible that some of the justices will change their votes.

Tangibles

 

[get these nets]

Lawsuit brought on because of attempted redistricting, and 3 SC justices effectively agreed that private citizens should not be able to file lawsuits to get Voting Rights Act protections enforced?

And Clarence Thomas was one of the 3?

Ironically, it’s a lot of the immigrants that could’ve told Americans just how horrible an unhinged dictatorship really is. We’ve barely gotten past the pre-school stages.

.....This still means the dreaded Democrats will give me a million dollars+ in reparations "tangibles" for my vote now right? This will bring both parties to the negotiation table right?

"Don't vote!" -
"Project 2025 is just fear mongering" -

We were drowned out by the giggling and the "this can only happen in some third world country" comments in the different subforums.
