Members of this forum make ludicrous accusations because most blacks vote Democrat. Never mind that the majority of Asians, Native Americans, Hispanics and Pacific Islanders vote Democrats, only blacks are too stupid to think for ourselves and must be told who to vote for by white liberals.
THIS, is why we don't vote Republican.
A federal appeals court moved on Monday to drastically weaken the Voting Rights Act, issuing a ruling that would effectively bar private citizens and civil rights groups from filing lawsuits under a central provision of the landmark civil rights law.
The ruling, made by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, found that only the federal government could bring a legal challenge under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a crucial part of the law that prohibits election or voting practices that discriminate against Americans based on race.
The opinion is almost certain to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
The current legal debate over who can bring Section 2 claims took a significant turn in February 2022, when Judge Lee P. Rudofsky, a district judge in eastern Arkansas appointed by former President Donald J. Trump, found that “only the attorney general of the United States may bring suit” to enforce Section 2.
