Supreme Court limits key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act

[Superbadbrutha]

The section still exist. You didnr read the opinion you idiot

The map that got knocked down was created by racist gerrymandering

What part of that don’t you get?

You can't really be this slow.

• "Dead Letter" Law: Kagan stated the ruling renders Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which combats discriminatory voting maps, "all but a dead letter".
• "Demolition" of Rights: She argued the decision marks a return to eras of minority voter disenfranchisement by allowing states to "crack" minority voters out of the electoral process.

If Warnock got to where he was strictly because of the color of his skin, then he didn't earn it anyway.

The SCOTUS simply said you can't gerrymander based on race.

No dumbass if not for these policies he would've never had the opportunity.

There is a reason she’s considered one of the dumbest justices

Cause she’s wrong

The map that was ruled illegal was created in volation of that section because it specifically created a minority-majority district

I think sometimes that maybe black people and white people are getting a little tired of all this posturing and just want to get along and move forward, but a few on each side are benefiting from the race hustling. According to Whoopie, the evil white devils are still shooting and using dogs at the polls. People are influenced by this shit and I do believe it's a remedy for any failures in life. I also it generates a false sense of twisted duty in young people that find they are "graduating" from school and can't spell cat. It is also creating a self-loathing in white people that still have a sense of guilt that is spewed by the media. Our native population is shrinking while we fight over nothing while the Reconquistas are literally ******* us out of our country.

This racist idiot says that you are engaging in racial discrimination by not creating voting districts according to race.

So it’s discrimination to not discriminate. WTF?

Today they could be computer generated only to take the number of people into account. Nothing more.

Not that I disagree with you, but that proposal would actually give Democrats an advantage. Using a computer would definitely take the bias out of it however, you have areas that are majority black that would have their own districts. Given the fact that Black people overwhelmingly vote Democrat this could give Democrats an advantage. And while there would also be majority, white districts, because white people generally vote Republican and democrat across the board there would be no inherit advantage

I have no idea. I'm not seeing how it gives anyone an advantage and it is what it is.

The idea was never about party anyway. It was simply about making districts as even as possible as far as population goes.
