I’m very pessimistic about this US Supreme Court upholding section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. That section is the one section that keeps alive the voting rights that Black people fought to have. This new book by Lisa Graves focuses on John Roberts, who doesn’t give a damn about his legacy.

@popcornreel it's not true at all that section two is the one section that keeps alive voting rights.
Congressional regulation of voting rights is alive and well. It's just that they can't do it in a way that violates the Constitution.
We are, of course, always able to amend the Constitution to allow this sort of discrimination if we want. I just don't think the country has a lot of interest in sanctioning it, though.
