SCOTUS: In Wednesday’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, six justices declared that racial gerrymandering is racist and therefore a violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits any voting practice or procedure that denies or abridges the right to vote on account of race or color nationwide
Justice Kagan wrote in her dissent that the Voting Rights Act “was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers” and that “only [the American people] have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the members of this Court.”
@chrismckeever commented, “We don’t give Union soldiers enough credit for the blood they spilled in…1982.”
