“The Supreme Court on Wednesday hollowed out a landmark Civil Rights–era law that has increased minority representation in Congress and elsewhere”
— AP News

A key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act sought to ensure that racial groups could not be denied political representation through gerrymandering along racial lines. We, the Conservative Justices on the Supreme Court, believe that this law is both unnecessary and unconstitutional. If anything, drawing districts to combat racism is the real racism.

The problem with the Voting Rights Act, as it is written, is that it allows states to draw district boundaries so that certain racial groups have a better chance at equal representation. In Louisiana, for example, where Black people make up roughly a third of the population, the congressional maps were specifically drawn so that a third of the districts were majority Black. Does that seem fair to you?
