In The Guardian, Jamil Smith argues the Callais decision assumes the U.S. will self-correct racial bias, threatening voting protections.
Jamil Smith column on the Callais ruling and voting rights
Jamil Smith writes in The Guardian that the Supreme Court's Callais ruling strips a key constraint from the Voting Rights Act by requiring proof of discriminatory intent rather than focusing on discriminatory impact. Smith argues the decision rests on the assumption that American leaders and institutions will self-correct racial bias, a premise he calls hollow given the country's history of failing to protect Black citizens' voting rights. He warns the ruling will make it much harder to challenge racially harmful voting laws and could sharply reduce Black representation in state and local government. Smith urges renewed legal and political efforts to rebuild voting protections so the Court's faith in self-correction does not erase civil rights gains.
The supreme court trusts America not to be racist. I don’t | Jamil Smith

glowgirl7291.bsky.social5The six conservative members of the Supreme Court ALL have close ties to the Heritage Foundation which promotes White Nationalist views. SCOTUS wants race out of the equation not because they trust America not to be racist but, because White Nationalism is THEIR own world view.
The Red Circle4They play dumb about it.
Lisa Mikolajczyk ✡️ 🏴☠️4Saying we no longer need Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act because more Black Americans are voting now than ever before is like saying you no longer need to take your blood pressure medication because your blood pressure is normal.
Bathsheba in Blue3Sorry - but they DO expect voters to be racist (like them). That’s the whole point.
Thomas Janecek2And you are very smart not to trust America not to be racist. 1/3 of the electorate voted for a racist 3 times. Another 1/3 (deliberate non-voters) decided they didn’t care whether a racist was our president. That’s a lot of people who don’t give a shit about anyone not white.
