The Supreme Court has signaled that it may rule on the constitutionality of a key section of the landmark Voting Rights Act that allows states to draw majority-minority voting districts mainly to protect the power of Black and Hispanic voters.
The justices on Friday evening asked opposing parties in a battle over a Louisiana voting map to submit briefs addressing whether the state’s creation of a second Black majority congressional district violated constitutional provisions that require all people to be treated equally. The district covers areas stretching from Shreveport to Baton Rouge.
Comment:
The Democrats want racially segregated congressional districts.
They believe that racially segregated congressional districts are part of Voting Rights.
But everyone has the same voting rights.
No one has more voting rights than another person.
Do Latinos have more voting rights than Asians, or do African Americans have more voting rights than White voters?
How do these racially segregated congressional districts protect everyone's equal right to vote?
Racially segregated congressional districts are racist and the Supreme Court should rule against it.
