Supreme Court weakens key Voting Rights Act provision
In Louisiana v. Callais the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled 6-3 that plaintiffs must prove race was the predominant factor in mapmaking to prevail on a Section 2 racial vote-dilution claim, raising the legal standard for those challenges. The case stemmed from a Louisiana redistricting plan that replaced a district with substantial Black influence with a majority-white seat, and the Court narrowed when federal courts can find maps unlawfully dilute minority voting power. The decision limits a key Voting Rights Act remedy, making it harder for Black and brown communities to secure court-ordered districting changes and shaping how future congressional and legislative maps are litigated.
My New One at Slate: “The Supreme Court’s Conservatives Just Issued the Worst Ruling in a Century; This evisceration of the Voting Rights Act requires us to take SCOTUS reform more seriously.” @slate.com slate.com/news-and-pol...
Rick Hasen 113From the conclusion of my @slate.com piece: slate.com/news-and-pol...
Andy Olsen16It's the Jim Crow Court. We must expand the court to unpack it.
Eric Foltz13Democrats need to stop fcking around. -Expand the court to 13 Justices. -Get rid of the "Shadow Docket."
Jeff Milchen11The imperative of restoring balance to revoke the lawless SCOTUS majority's power already was clear, but let's leverage this outrageous ruling to build the bandwagon.
Ido Amir8The American people elected A LIAR for President. The American people elected LIARS for Congress. The American people elected LIARS for the Senate. These LIARS appointed LIARS to the Supreme Court. Anything built on LIES eventually crumbles. The United States of America is NO exception.
Russell Huegel3The power behind the Supreme Court’s to its longevity is public confidence in its decisions that they are on the level. Once that evaporates, anything is possible.
SoundsKugle 🐝🌅2If only 🇺🇸ns listened to Buttigieg in 2019 🇨🇦
True Blue Majority2Roberts is still reaching for that "worse than Taney" award with all his might...
Publius2I think the immunity decision was worse, but that’s just a theoretical debate
The president of the NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights group, said SCOTUS decision in Louisiana v Callais delivers “a devastating blow to what remains of the Voting Rights Act”. The ruling is "a license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities."
Steven7Looks like six of the Supreme Court are bought and paid for by Trump time to impeach when we the house and Senate in November this year
someone7Shameful n pathetic POS Supreme Court of Robert’s n Thomas SOB We will be better off when thomas dies He should have been in prison for sexual harassment
Grateful-1.bsky.social5Except for the 3 Democrats sitting on this SCOTUS, the Republi-CON TRAITORS to America must ALL be charged with TREASON against the U.S.A.‼️
Followfornow5The legislative activism from the SCOTUS bench by the "Vile 6" will not be remembered kindly by history. This is a dark time on that court.
John Shea 🍀5‼️‼️‼️ Stop 🛑 voting for these Russian Republicans and their corrupt policies.
emmespace.bsky.social3Boy, if only this was totally foreseeable.
hursty69.bsky.social3What will happen overtime is democrats college educated of all races will leave backwards hick states behind and take their big paychecks with them to the progressive blue states. Red states will become even more poor than they already are. And maga will destroy each other.
☣Trulia Resister❂2Abolishing the Electoral College requires a constitutional amendment, passing by two-thirds of both Congressional houses and ratification by three-fourths of states. 1 person 1 vote....
Today's Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is the culmination of John Roberts’ two-decade crusade to gut the Voting Rights Act. It is, simply put, a devastating blow to American democracy.
Indivisible ❌👑70On its face, Callais strikes down a congressional map drawn to remedy decades of racist gerrymandering by establishing what would have been only the second majority-Black district in Louisiana. Which is bad enough. But this ruling will not be limited to Louisiana.
L S D13There really is no group of Americans more vile and evil than conservative white men…and Clarance Thomas who thinks he’s a conservative white man.
glenndishere.bsky.social6What we are witnessing is what Conservative Ideologues believe about you and I They believe we are SERFS. We are ONLY here to do the bidding of the elite During the 2020 election I only wanted one thing if Biden wins: PACK THE SC! And pack it w 10 new justices! NONE of this would be happening.

Debbie ❌️👑4While I've been unhappy with increasing endorsements by Indivisible, protecting voting rights is critical to protecting our democracy. Thank you for describing the danger of the Callais decision and reminding us that we cannot stop fighting these efforts to silence minorities and the poor.
David3The corruption of the Supreme Court is very apparent. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/viol...
Nat2It's what this court was designed to do. Never mind that the Voting Rights Act gave Thomas the right to vote...
dkn60.bsky.social2CAN WE IMPEACH/REMOVE THESE JUDGES??
Trump’s Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Decades of hard-fought voting rights progress – gone. MAGA is deliberately silencing voters who will stand with Democrats to take back the House and STOP Trump for good. Which means the stakes of this Midterm just went through the roof.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸133So, it’s time to lock in, and I need you with me. Rush $10 right now to help flip the House, take the fight to this criminal administration, and END Donald Trump’s presidency for GOOD → gc4ny.com/SCOTUS-VRA
MadGreek 🧿8What I think about this ruling...
massholio.bsky.social5I love you George but you might want to sit this one out since this has been the goal of the Federalist Society for decades.
codeMonkey235I love you George, and you're a useful club with which to beat the administration, but my money will be going to AOC and most people further left. You would not do enough. You would not be afraid enough. Motivated enough. Someone who would remake the supreme court, restore voting rights, prosecute.

A 6-3 SCOTUS DECISION in favor of WHITE VOTERS who challenged a black majority district in Louisiana As Justice Kagan just said "Now- completed demolition of the VOTING RIGHTS ACT This ruling now states Louisiana must redraw it's Congressional map.
leyeajibola.bsky.social23The more reason why we need to vote. Turn out en masse to vote. That is the first step. Then we use their rulings against them to make changes
Logic Thinker10When Hilary Clinton said the next president could appoint 3 justices and reshape court decisions for decades, she and her supporters were called hysterical. Turns out she was right, yet here we are.
jmwarren.bsky.social4Let’s start calling the 6 white hooded Fascists what they are, NAZIS
Last Tango with the Mango4It's not rocket science. John Roberts doesn't like black people. He also doesn't like poor people of any color. Prove me wrong.
Kat K 🐾🐾3SCOTUS has to hang onto white republicans or 6 of them (along with their spouses) will be investigated for taking bribes and other criminal activity.
ozzieski.bsky.social3What a legacy they will have in history being known as racist SC justices. As for Thomas' self loathing...it's pretty pathetic.
Shelby Kent-Stewart3We desperately need a binding code of ethics and investigative body for the Supreme Court, but first, someone should explain the word 'ethics' to the Scandalous Six.

Selena in TN3Dementia patients often cling to activities that remind them of something familiar from their past … because their brain is literally shrinking inside their skull.

Billz3bub2"Republicans, meanwhile, believe that considering race in drawing congressional districts is discriminatory and unconstitutional." Do they really, Politico? Then why do they do this exclusively to hamstring the voting rights of minorities? Show the abuse in your reporting, please. No both sides bs.
This is a crushing blow to our democracy. We cannot stand by as Trump's extreme SCOTUS eviscerates protections against voter suppression that heroes like Dr. King and John Lewis marched for. We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now.
Four Legs Good3We need a constitutional amendment the enshrines our right to vote and outlaws partisan gerrymandering.
azraelthunderbolt.bsky.social2We are counting on you! You are one of the last honest public servants left. You already have my respect. Now show me I am right about you.

RESISTOCRAT2We need the next Dem POTUS to increase the number of seats in the SC to 13.
Jón Frímann2Then you impeach the bad judges of supreme court or if that is not possible. Expand the court to 51 judge.
