From reporter Paul Blumenthal:
The Supreme Court’s conservative justices appeared likely to strip Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of all power to protect against racially discriminatory redistricting during arguments in the case of Louisiana v. Callais on Wednesday.
Such a decision could have monumental consequences for the future of Black political representation across the South, and potentially enable Republican legislatures to redraw maps in a way that helps bring to fruition President Donald Trump’s goal of one-party rule in Washington.

I didn’t think I would live to see America fall apart like this right in front of me.
God help us all.
You need a corrupt president and Supreme Court justices to form a corrupt authoritarian government.
Removing Trump isn’t enough. All crooked justices must be impeached too.
Let me guess, 6-3? So much for following established law and being nonpolitical. If the country can last that long, maybe we can get it back in 50-100 years. Too bad I won’t get to see it.
The trajectory began more than a decade ago. This is the final blow; just like they did with Roe, except that trajectory was far slower with ups and downs. Next comes Miranda and Mapp.
This has to be the most corrupt „supreme court“ in history.
„The fever will break.“
Only while it works in their favor. If it breaks the other way they’ll put a stop to it

That’s what the conservative justices were paid to do
At least we have a straightforward, honest headline. Usually, it’s some clickbait bullshit like “you’ll never believe what the Supreme Court might do next!”
Most honest title I have seen about SCOUTS in a while. They are foaming at the mouth to get rid of the Voting Rights Act and they are so willing to let Republicans to rig every election in the future.
It’s over folks. We are no longer a nation of laws. That means no accountability, graft, treason, lying and severe oppression. Congratulations to all that voted for these asshats. Eventually, you will be affected. Oy dark times indeed.
„IF WE WIN YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN“ -Donald John Trump
They are already purging black politicians. This will cement it and a near insurmountable Republican majority in the House.
This what happens when you don’t vote.
This has been obvious for years. The Nazis have been playing the long game, packing all the courts, playing dirty.
Dems were too busy „going high“ to figure out what to do about it.
And now, here we are.
The US constitution no longer exist and republicans are OK with that.
Is the Supreme Court really saying „we dont need this law anymore?“ These originalist judges are really going to let a law „expire“ without Congress making it expire? Not even a declaration of unconstitutional, just „we dont need this law.“
Ok…
Hey Washington democrats still think you are playing on a fair field? Or are you ready to fight dirty like republicans have done for YEARS
I never thought the way our country would end would be by an enemy within. Ourselves. Never in a million years did I think I would watch my government dismantle itself brick by brick.
Wow. Kavanaugh’s comments about anti-discrimination statutes sunsetting…with the implication that SCOTUS gets to decide when is horrifying. Would represent the biggest power grab by SCOTUS since Marbury v Madison.
We have become a failed country, reality will catch up with the delusional population very shortly
This is why California’s redistricting plan should have had *zero* Republican districts.
The United States as we’ve known it is coming to an end. It’s not falling apart, though – that would suggest that things are out of control. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: there is a concerted and strategic effort to dismantle what was once the United States, and this is just another case example. Six of nine Justices have it in their heads that we’re a post-racial society in which racism doesn’t exist, prejudice doesn’t exist, discrimination doesn’t exist…and that people in power don’t make calculated decisions based on it. The fact that those same people in power can explain away their obviously bigoted decisions in some simple terms of gerrymandering doesn’t change the fact that those lines are being drawn to minimize the voting power and representation of minorities in our country.
We shouldn’t need racially based maps in 2025. We need to redo how people are elected so we have accurate representation based on population.
We should have at least a thousand members of the House, and it needs to be more important to offset how land holds power over people in the Senate.
2/3 of the Supreme Court are bonafide traitors.
>Since the Supreme Court’s 2019 decision in [Rucho v. Common Cause](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/18-422_9ol1.pdf) found that federal courts could not rule on partisan gerrymandering claims, a Republican legislature can draw a map that favors [Republicans](https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/republican-party), even at the expense of Black voters, because their real motivation is partisanship, the Trump administration argues.
Omitted from the reasoning, of course, is „It just so happens that Republicans‘ partisan motivations include racism.“
What a goddamn shitshow this SCOTUS is.
The Robert’s court will down as the most corrupt court in US history. Their ruling all flawed, their motives horrid, their values corrupt. They have failed at even the basic parts of honoring the Constitution.
Thomas should resign then since the voting rights act got him his job.
Them epstien files must be really really bad
we’re heading straight towards court packing. the supreme court is an unserious institution at this point. blatantly corrupt, ideologically driven. even if republicans allow democrats to win elections again, the supreme court will block any effort to rebuild agencies, dismantle the gestapo, or literally enact anything republicans don’t agree with.
Maybe districts should be redrawn across the land. And the House should actually have proper representation by population. Many states need many more reps.
At what point does the US military actually uphold their oath to the Constitution?
“Racism is a thing of the past,” the Supreme Court stated as every Red State immediately moved to remove any minority districts
John Roberts’s decades long quest is realized! May he and his court be viewed with contempt for subverting justice.
