Supreme Court rules Louisiana House map an unconstitutional racial gerrymander
The Supreme Court ruled that Louisiana's congressional map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander and ordered the map redrawn. The justices left Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act on the books but narrowed how courts can apply it to challenge maps that dilute minority voting strength. Justice Elena Kagan dissented, saying, "I dissent because the Court's decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity." The decision reshapes the legal standard for redistricting challenges and will reduce avenues for Black and other minority voters to secure representation in future maps.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.
ACLU74The court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais follows cases that have narrowed federal voter protections, like Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. Together, these cases have made it harder for voters of color to challenge discriminatory voting laws and practices.
sunbirdie.bsky.social19Do we have to go through another civil rights movement as we did in the 1960's?
Emm🙂↔️Cee12Expected. Didn't think for one moment they'd actually care about Black voters' rights.
Harmonius👽😇👊🏼🦸🏻♀️7We have white nationalists on the Supreme Court which is a joke.
Jenni (she/her)6This is what trump wants, the complete decimation of our country
Kitty Murphy5They gave the "Green Light" that it is ok to be a racist. Unbelievable times we are living through.
timdarling.bsky.social4Amazing. So maybe we just get rid of the electoral college?
Uralriver2Beat down minorities. I'm thinking minorities need to rise up!
❌👑 86 472This country is a shell of its former self. The Supreme Court is a complete sham.
karencox1963.bsky.social2next time minorities vote they might want to vote against republicans
Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST BLACK LOUISIANA VOTERS WHO DEFENDED VOTING MAP THAT ADDED SECOND MAJORITY-BLACK DISTRICT
Jenny76Boggles the mind that redistricting is fine as long as it's giving preference or advantage to a political party, but not when it's being used to give an equal voice to constituents. Shouldn't individual voters' voice matter more than the party?
georgebrenner.bsky.social57Racism prevails by a vote of 6-3
ZenWoman Here NOT There37Let me get this straight, SCOTUS rules against districts that benefit minorities but still allows gerrymandering for GOP to keep others "white"?
Bubba Okie26Gerrymander the Supreme Court. Expand to 17.
Ultra Deep State 864722Illegitimate court. Time to start acting accordingly.
Ron Waxman20The U.S. Supreme Court is part of the corrupt criminal Trump regime.
Eric Reese19The Roberts Court continues the be the absolute worst for voting rights in history.
Sharon Rudow16SCOTUS are a bunch of racists assholes.
Katie15Governing from the bench. Again. The corrupt Roberts court is a dirty stain on justice.
burnouts3s3.bsky.social8A 6-3 Decision with Justices Kagan Sotomayor and Jackson dissenting.
Greenstone📎7Supreme Court Justice Crowe was heard yelling at Justice Jackson, “Stop calling me Jim Crowe… I can’t help it that my parents named me James. It’s James Crowe, god damn it! Not Jim Crowe!” Jackson was heard saying, “suit yourself Jim, I mean James.”
Luigi -the Pizza Prime Minister7I wish I could say this is surprising for SCOTUS....but it's not
SeekingTheRoot6As usual with this Court, whichever decision hurts the greatest number of people to the greatest extent wins, especially if the people hurt are Black, Brown, trans, gay/lesbian, or, of course, women. John Taney Roberts is degrading the Court, the Constitution, and American values.
David5One third of the voters in Louisiana are Black. Looks like they are sadly unrepresented. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/viol...

Chris Strider4Our country is no longer a Democracy.
The Captain3Uncap the house. That fixes gerrymandering at the source. 1000 seats in the House of Representatives removes all gerrymanders and fixes minority representation.
Ant3This court a joke and we need to take control on Congress and pack the court.
Welcome to the party pal!2Right wing racists give power to right wing racists. Obviously.
NEW: The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act, enabling the GOP to erase countless districts drawn to protect voters of color at the congressional, state, & local levels. We detailed each Dem VRA congressional seat that the GOP could target by 2028: www.the-downballot.com/p/with-the-v...
Stephen Wolf35The VRA ruling overturns 1 of Louisiana's 2 Black seats—now the GOP could target both for 2026. Florida's GOP now has a green light to pass a new map today dismantling the Latino 9th District. Texas' GOP already targeted 4 Latino seats with their mid-decade gerrymander. 2028 could bring far worse
Mina9Voting Rights Act was the life’s work of Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s why cops beat peaceful marchers in Selma. It’s why he gave his “I Have a Dream” speech on the now-dismantled National Mall. I hope reporters will tell this story.
2028 65 -- 225 -- 290 1. Reform the Supreme Court 2. Remove Big $ from Politics 3. Stop Foreign Interference 4. Make Graft and Corruption Illegal Again 5. Lock them up 6. Ban gerrymandering outright
Eddie Hill2good thing RBG saw her seat as an entitlement and Obama let the Senate block his appointment for a year. hope people have learned their lesson about that not exercising political power. next time they're in power the dems must impeach a couple of justices for their corruption & #packthecourt
