“ Last Wednesday, the Supreme Court’s Republican majority effectively repealed a 1982 amendment to the Voting Rights Act that required some states to draw a minimum number of majority-Black or majority-Latino legislative districts. The GOP justices’ decision has already kicked off another round of skirmishes in the gerrymandering wars. “ https://www.vox.com/politics/487895/supreme-court-callais-voting-rights-citizens-united #votingrights
The conservative majority of the Supreme Court opened the door for Trump to become America's first
DICTATOR with their "Absolute Presidential Immunity" ruling. #scotus
Keep in mind that a lot of people get wrong what the SCOTUS decided. It REFUSED to agree with Trump that he had complete absolute immunity:
"At the current stage of proceedings in this case, however, we need not and do not decide whether that immunity must be absolute, or instead whether a presumptive immunity is sufficient."
Trump lost on that count.
What the Court actually decided is rather tame: a former president is immune from prosecution for things that were legal exercises of his office.
He can still be prosecuted for illegal things.
It's a pretty different implication, right?
