The Supreme Court Is On The Verge Of Killing The Voting Rights Act

This term, the Supreme Court is hearing a case about whether Alabama’s newly drawn congressional maps violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race. In a seven-district state, the new maps included only one majority-Black district even though the state has a population that is more than one-quarter Black. The groups challenging the maps say that because it would be relatively easy to draw a map with two majority-Black districts, the state is legally obligated to do so. But Alabama Republicans countered by arguing they don’t have a requirement to use the plaintiffs’ maps, because creating a second majority-Black district would violate other race-neutral criteria used in redistricting.

The justices’ ruling could have implications that go far beyond Alabama, potentially neutering what remains of the Voting Rights Act — a seminal piece of legislation that is ostensibly permanent yet constantly imperiled.

Alabama Republicans are now arguing that it’s discriminatory to prioritize race over other traditional redistricting techniques, such as having compact districts, contiguous boundaries or avoiding crossing county or town boundaries. Several experts, including Pildes, told FiveThirtyEight that a ruling that sides with Alabama would be a radical departure from previous interpretations of the law and would likely free states to draw congressional or state legislative maps where minority voters have less political power relative to their numbers.

SCOTUS will either rule in favor of the Republicans or rule in a manner that makes it such that Republicans still have the ability to do what they want, just not so blatantly. They have consistently ruled on voting rights in favor of Republicans. It is an outright shame that in those same states, featuring conservative justices, they will recognize clear discrimination and strike them down only for it to be appealed and the conservative SCOTUS rules in Republican favor.

But our SCOTUS isn't compromised? Those justices are literal agents for conservatism, nothing else.



Just going to leave it at that, this country isn't looking too good right now, hopefully these midterms go well.

Europe is electing far right basically neo nazi governments. And cacs in the US are salivating at the same prospect.

See, this is why we have to DON'T VOTE for the Democrats. I already know the Republicans don't care about black people. This shows that the Republicans do a better job at proving that staying on the Democratic PLANTATION accomplishes nothing for BLACK people. After this is decided, Black people will have to WAKE UP and DEMAND that Democrats CUT THE CHECK in order to earn our vote. Until then, I'm happy to let the Republicans take control. This house has to BURN with us hogtied in the basement before it can be rebuilt.
