Talk about judicial activism!

Opinion | The Justices Acted as Partisans in the Voting Rights Ruling

Screenshot of a tweet from New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel describing an NYT editorial criticizing the Supreme Court's decision on the Voting Rights Act as judicial overreach, noting that six conservative justices overruled a law Congress reauthorized with bipartisan support 20 years prior. Includes a thumbnail linking to the NYT opinion piece.

The #SCOTUS decision on the #VotingRightsAct is exactly what #LeonardLeo and the #FederalistSociety paid for in #ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts

@georgetakei

They’re not conservative; they’re partisan hacks who reinterpret longstanding laws they don’t like.

@georgetakei This is more than just activism, their previous decision on gerrymandering explicitly called it a problem for Congress to solve, kicking the can down the road in order to help Republicans at the time. They now contradict themselves entirely, just to help Republicans. SCOTUS has abandoned rule of law entirely for partisan gain.
