SCOTUS Just Blew Up the Voting Rights Act’s Ban on Racial Gerrymandering
By greenlighting Alabama’s egregious map, five justices declared open season on racial minorities’ voting power.

"On Monday afternoon, the Supreme Court crushed yet another key component of the Voting Rights Act, halting a lower court order that required Alabama to redraw its egregious racial gerrymander. The court’s intervention in Merrill v. Milligan was so radically unjustified that Chief Justice John Roberts—an architect of the judicial attack on voting rights—dissented, alongside the three liberals. The court’s order indicates that the five ultraconservative justices are preparing to dismantle the VRA’s guarantee against gerrymanders that dilute the voting strength of Black Americans. Over the last decade, the Supreme Court has bulldozed several key provisions of the VRA. But until now, it had not yet repealed the law’s protections against the dilution of votes cast by racial minorities."
I can't think of a more important and amazing court decision in the last 100 years than what this decision is...and for what this decision may ultimately lead to...the final dissolution of the Marxist-Communist Voting Rights Act....This is almost as great as overturning Brown v Board would be...This is great news for people who truly value voting rights, instead of just worrying about the voting rights of the blacks....
If the blacks didn't vote so overwhelming for one party; Conservatives wouldn't work so hard to dilute their voting districts -- in fact, if the blacks would learn how to vote for more Conservatives and not be so dumb, maybe they will be rewarded by those Conservatives....until then, they will just remain on the racist Democrat plantation....This is also good news for Conservatives in general....no reason anymore to worry about demographic shifts as it relates to winning elections if you are now no longer constrained by that un-American Voting Rights Act -- now, you can with surgical precision carve up any voting district that you think gives darkies too much voting power... and not worry about some activist court trying to stop you......that is what states rights is all about.....
