Hyperbole need not apply.

That's the point. The Repubs want to make it so only state or federal attorneys can bring suits, not individuals. A major shift in precedent. The ruling had nothing to do with stopping frivolous suits.

“Literally hundreds of Section 2 cases have been filed over the past several decades, and hundreds of federal judges have ruled on the merits in these cases without blinking an eye,” Travis Crum, a voting rights expert and associate professor of law at Washington University in Saint Louis, told TPM. “But two judges on the 8th Circuit decided that these hundreds of other judges had just missed the issue for decades.”
Can you cite the language of Section 2 that you believe creates a private right of enforcement?
 
The voting right act ensured all that.

By taking away the rights of private citizens to sue on these cases they have nearly eliminated that.

Only the government can bring these suits now.

That means less than ten per cent of previous suits would have been brought to court
You know this ruling only applies to states within the 8th Circuit, right?
 
Americans of color disenfranchised by Republican gerrymandering won’t be able to file suit to seek relief from Republicans violating their right to vote; future Republican attorneys general certainly won’t.

This will clearly facilitate the tyranny of Republican minority rule.
Ding ding ding

Exactly the goal of the white wing lawsuit.

I'll let the ample precedent of hundreds of federal judges allowing cases brought by individuals to go forward to speak for me since.......you know........I'm not an attorney.

Wait........you mean attorneys general from Repub states will not seek to protect the voting rights of blacks in their states? Hard to believe, right? ;)

Well then, you really shouldn't be opining on matters you don't understand, should you?
 
No he didn't. You want to try? What is the language of Section 2 that you believe creates a private right of enforcement?
As noted… there’s years of precedent. Good enough for me.

Not for you? Fork off turd

Read it again turd
 
There was no precedent. The issue wasn't raised.


Backatcha particularly given that level of "intelligence" you bring to the subject
So all those hundreds of rulings were not precedent?

Do you even know what that means?

Unless the issue was raised and the trial court ruled that there was a private cause of action, and the ruling was appealed to a Court of Appeal in that jurisdiction and the Court of Appeals ruled that there was a private cause of action, no, they are not precedent.
Do you even know what that means?

Yes.
What “concepts”, am I missing?
All that you haven't been force fed.

Limeys are usually a bit smarter - even Scousas.
The concept where you claim elections are fraudulent
Yes.
or the one where you think you will make a difference by voting?
That as well.

A difference without distinction usually, but sometimes the greater evil is so much greater that this must be taken into account.

Independents: We decide elections.
Are you usually this dumb, or did we catch you on a bad day?
Projection.

You're a shitlib limey posting on a US political forum because rather than grasping the nuances and realities understood by your generally more competent countrypeeps, you bought into the whole Oceania/Eastasia thing, so you're a political thoughtpeasant in your own land.

You're incapable of independent or logical thought, and are driven by your hatred and ignorance.

Basicaly, a dumbed-down Guno.

Take care.

^ Can't stop spewing this old D good/R bad political talking point.

If Ds gave a shit about voting rights, they'd stop behaving as the criminal gang they are.

Gerrymandering is only just when Democrats do it! :)
