🚨 Josh Hammer reveals how Section 2 within The Voting Rights Act was sneakily used to justify racial gerrymandering: "HERE'S THE CATCH, for Decades, politicians interpreted [section 2 of The Voting Rights Act] as a carte blanche license to create majority-minority districts which are essentially black-majority districts within largely... white conservative states..." "When interpreted in that way, it runs blatantly afoul of the 14th AMENDMENT!" and Josh reveals THE MOST IMPORTANT OUTCOME from the SCOTUS ruling: "There's a real enticing opportunity for conservative legal teams to go on the offense and start SUING states if they don't get rid of these majority-minority districts" To sum it up: Republicans will come out ahead of this battle. 💪🇺🇸show more

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 ended intentional racial discrimination in voting and districts. Democrats misconstrued it. They twisted it into a license for racial discrimination in congressional districts. The Supreme Court corrected that today. Democrats don't get to carve out DEI districts based on race. These racial districts violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Thanks for having me, Benny Johnson.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act was never meant to oblige states to racially discriminate when drawing congressional districts. Justice Alito’s majority opinion in the Callais decision finally puts an end to this practice. Zack Smith

Republican officials in several Southern states are racing to redraw their congressional maps, reacting to the seismic Supreme Court decision that weakened a section of the Voting Rights Act about majority-minority districts. As CBS News’ Ed O'Keefe reports, Alabama is the latest state moving to revise its congressional lines ahead of the November midterm elections.

Members of the Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared open Wednesday to raising the bar for successfully challenging voting maps under a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, a decision that would weaken the landmark law and limit the consideration of race in the drawing of congressional districts.

.Mollie explains how the Supreme Court's gerrymandering decision could transform the country by declaring ALL of the Democrats' race-based districts unconstitutional: “Alito wrote this masterful, major opinion, saying the Constitution forbids racism. The Voting Rights Act was not written and could not be written to oppose what the Constitution says. And so Section 2, which some people had interpreted as requiring racist maps, that's clearly not the meaning. The racism is ENDED. Democrats have exploited these federal rulings to create these very racial maps that have given them an undue advantage in certain states. So ruling these congressional districts as unconstitutional and contrary to the Voting Rights Act itself means they’ll all be going away.”

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that drawing Congressional districts based on race under the Voting Rights Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, 6-3 This is a HUGE win, and could have MASSIVE ramifications for the 2026 midterms Democrats for YEARS have sued over and over again to FORCE states like Louisiana to create black majority districts Louisiana's map has now been thrown out. If SCOTUS ends up gutting the act, a DOZEN Democrat districts could flip red overnight.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court's conservative majority did something that voting rights advocates have feared for years: they weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, one of the last major pillars of 60 years of civil rights progress. Section 2 was how we ensured Black, Latino, and other minority communities had a real shot at electing representatives who reflect their priorities. Now, to challenge a discriminatory map, you have to prove intentional discrimination. That is an almost impossible bar to clear. The Congressional Black Caucus could lose 30% of its membership as a direct result. Within hours of the decision, Republicans in Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi are already having conversations about redrawing maps. Partisan gerrymandering was already out of control. This decision just took the guardrails off completely. We have to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and establish independent redistricting commissions nationwide, and we need to do it now.

It is highly probable that the #SupremeCourt will decide to dismantle the remaining parts of Section 2 of the #VotingRightsAct, which would eliminate almost half of the black representation in the southern states. Everything occurring at this moment was detailed by rolandsmartin in his book "White Fear." If there has ever been a crucial time for us to unite and combat #whitesupremacy, it is NOW! #BlackAmerica, we must exercise our voting power in high numbers to overrule the #rightwing #Republican Party.

🚨 JUST IN: The red state of ALABAMA is now moving to get a new Congressional map drawn by asking the Supreme Court to step in following the anti-racial gerrymandering ruling Alabama has districts that are CLEARLY racially drawn! SCOTUS should step in and let ALL states with these unconstitutional districts redraw for 2026 🔥 "Expedited consideration is necessary to afford Alabama the same opportunity as other States to use a lawfully enacted congressional map free of an injunction that cannot be reconciled with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act “as properly construed.” Callais, Slip Op. 3." "...vacate the injunctions and judgments below in light of this Court’s decision in Callais, remand the cases to the district court, and immediately issue its judgments."

🚨 BOOM! SUPREME COURT DROPS A MASSIVE 6-3 BOMB ON RACIAL GERRYMANDERING IN LOUISIANA! The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled — non-minority voters WIN. Louisiana drew up a second majority-minority congressional district to boost Black voters. Non-Black plaintiffs sued, saying it was straight-up racial gerrymandering that violated the 14th and 15th Amendments. The Court agreed. In a 6-3 decision, the majority said: “Because the Voting Rights Act did NOT require Louisiana to create an additional majority/minority district, no compelling interest justified the state’s use of race in drawing these two new districts. That map is an unconstitutional gerrymander.” Exactly as expected: Conservatives (6) vs. the liberal bloc (Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson dissenting). Thomas and Gorsuch even dropped a concurrence. This isn’t just about Louisiana. Shannon Bream noted this could open the door to challenges against 20+ other districts across the country — mostly in the South — that were drawn primarily on the basis of race. Huge potential implications for the midterms. The left’s fear of the Voting Rights Act getting gutted? Not fully there yet… but this is a major shot across the bow against race-based map drawing. No more treating the Constitution like a suggestion just to engineer racial outcomes. The Supreme Court just reminded everyone: race cannot be the dominant factor in drawing districts. Big win for colorblind justice.

#BREAKING: The SCOTUS decision re Louisiana boils down to this: Per the 2020 census, Blacks make up a third of Louisiana’s population. It was therefore fair that out of the 6 House districts in LA, 2 of them be majority Black districts, you know, a third of them When the predominantly White LA state lege drew up the congressional districts, they made only 1 out of the 6 districts majority Black, instead of two, upon which a lawsuit was filed. MAGA SCOTUS has basically sided with 1 out of 6 side. When you look at it that way, the INJUSTICE is unmistakable. SAD🤦‍♀️

NEW: The Supreme Court signaled they are on the verge of weakening or completely dismantling the Voting Rights Act, according to multiple reports. MSNBC’s Mark Stern: “It sounded like a majority of the justices are leaning toward embracing some form of that argument, which would essentially dismantle the Voting Rights Act as we know it today.” “All 6 [of the conservative justices] seem to be leaning toward some kind of result that would radically weaken, if not altogether demolish, what we know is the Voting Rights Act today.” This would be a MASSIVE win for Republicans!

I have a real problem with political gerrymandering. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled to limit parts of the Voting Rights Act. Ultimately, this will make it easier for states to dilute the votes of Black voters and other minority groups. We need to outlaw gerrymandering. Period.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Tonight, we are following a number of developing stories very much about how RADICAL this moment is in our country right now. Just in the last hour we, for example, have had important breaking news out of the United States Supreme Court. The court’s conservative majority has GRANTED an emergency request from the state of Alabama to discriminate against Black voters, to allow the state of Alabama to use a Republican backed map that deliberately eliminates one of the state’s two majority Black districts. This, in term of electoral politics, will almost certainly GAIN Republicans another House seat. It will further reduce Black representation in Congress. This of course comes in the wake of the high court gutting the Voting Rights Act.”

“States like Ohio, Texas and Florida already did partisan gerrymandering in 2021. They drew as many Republican seats as they could without being racist. And so what they are now doing with the second bite of the apple is drawing racist districts under the expectation that the supreme court will strike the racial discrimination prohibitions of the Voting Rights Act…It is the white house pushing these maps onto different states to try to steal as many seats as possible.” - Rep Dave Min on new gerrymandering pre-midterm

However, the GOP undermined it with the appointment of three justices by #Trump. Additionally, he explains how certain pro-Black impostors contribute to this issue by discouraging Black individuals from voting or urging them to support Trump. And here we are: trump has now instructed his DOJ to target #Black and #Latino-majority #voting districts across the country — using the #SupremeCourt’s recent decision gutting the #VotingRightsAct as a legal weapon.
