The Supreme Court's Impending Decision on Voting Rights
The Supreme Court's ruling on Louisiana v. Callais will have disastrous consequences for Black voters and Democrats.
The case revolves around Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and its impact on Congressional district maps in Louisiana, which has six districts.
The six Republican justices are going to declare the Voting Rights Act inert and allow the dilution of Black voting rights through racist gerrymandering.
The oral arguments heard by the Supreme Court were largely seen as an exercise in justifying racist positions, rather than a genuine deliberation on the technical points of law.
The outcome of the case was seemingly decided long before the lawyers presented their arguments, leaving little doubt about the Court's intentions.
