The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. They won't say that out loud, but Justice Kagan did: Section 2 is now all but a dead letter. A majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana, created so that Black voters could actually be represented in Congress, has been erased. John Roberts has been working toward this since 1982. Yesterday was the culmination of that decades-long project, and the consequences will reach far beyond Louisiana. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/supreme-court-louisiana-callais-vra
