The US supreme court’s assault on voting rights hits a new low

In an unexpected move, the court decided to throw out new districts for the state legislature in Wisconsin that had been picked by the state supreme court. But what was even more surprising was that the court’s conservative majority seemed to go out of its way to attack the Voting Rights Act, one of the most important civil rights laws designed to prevent discrimination in US elections. “Extra headspinning,” was how Michael Li, a redistricting expert at the Brennan Center for Justice, described it. “Bizarre,” observed Richard Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Irvine. David Wasserman, a redistricting expert at the non-partisan Cook Political Report, tweeted that the supreme court had entered “uncharted territory”.

The court’s decision in the Wisconsin case was the latest in a series of rulings that have left little pretense of how aggressively it is trying to weaken section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the most powerful provision of the law, which outlaws racially discriminatory voting practices. The court is not hiding its skepticism of the use of race in redistricting, even when it’s used to protect minority voters, and is making it harder for litigants to justify considering race when district lines are redrawn.

The court has recently used a docket of emergency cases – called the shadow docket – to issue consequential voting rights rulings for two other cases with little reasoning or briefing – sometimes both. Last month, the court blocked a lower court’s ruling that would have required Alabama to implement an additional Black-majority congressional district. In another shadow docket ruling this month, three of the court’s justices embraced a fringe legal theorythat courts cannot second-guess state legislatures on election matters.

That timing raised eyebrows because of a decision written by Justices Kavanaugh and Alito in the Alabama case. Writing in early February, the two conservative justices said it was too close to Alabama’s 24 May election to justify imposing new maps. But in a different redistricting case in North Carolina in early March, Alito wrote a ruling, joined by Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, saying it was not too close to North Carolina’s 17 March primary to overturn maps that were being challenged there.

Are they going to say that blacks can't vote? No.

But they're going to allow these states to make it extremely difficult for black people to vote or have the appropriate amount of electorate power.

It’s amazing.


I read history. I read about how the Nazi’s slowly got a bunch of groups of the paint… then finally came for Jewish people as a whole. And everyone knows how that turned out..

Yet, I look around the rooms that I’m in and everyone is “well that ain’t my problem.. oh well”

and I’m so confused. Then, it hits me. That history will simply always repeat itself, because people are stupid.

@No_bammer_weed When have blacks fought for gays? Dumb question. Black politicians and public figures do it constantly. Obama is a prime example. Did a lot for lgbts. Did nothing for black folk

FACT SHEET: Obama Administration’s Record and the LGBT Community

They have money, lawyers and loud people on Twitter. Hell even congress is going to bat for them.

They’ll be good. We don’t have the luxury to focus on their issues. We gotta focus on us. Our community has a full on 5 alarm fire and we’re trying to put out the small flames on theirs.

That makes zero sense to everyone but you. HYON

It’s all fun and games when they attack women and LGBT but they’re coming for civil rights and affirmative action too. Nothing to joke about here.

Fake liberal scare tactic

Can someone explain this simple minded TLR logic that having empathy for the rights of others means you're somehow abandoning black causes?

Can someone explain to me why only on TLR is being passively supportive of a fascist takeover of peoples civil rights somehow a show of support for black people?

So I should keep my head in the sand about what the courts are doing to civil rights laws so that I don't come off as "scared" or "rescuing" others?


Yall some sociopaths.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

Not a problem. Then let’s fight for and secure our rights specifically. Form a black ACLU.

That doesn’t include LGBT, Asians, immigrants etc. They can all HYON. Pretty simple actually

"Not a problem...Pretty simple actually"



Yall black conservatives got to be the dumbest nikkas on Earth.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

If they'll be fine they don't need black people's help then right?????

[Tryna Makit]

If you’re so smart, elaborate on why I’m dumb to focus all of my available resources on MY community. And why one of the most well monied, most politically powerful groups in society needs my help.

This should be good

Opposition to abortion and homosexuality issues have church backing

this means access to vast church funds

Don’t think civil rights and interracial marriage opponents have access to that many resources
