Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, passed by Congress long ago… has been effectively removed from the statute, by Alito / Thomas / Kavanaugh / Gorsuch and Roberts.

So much for deferring to Congress — when it speaks clearly, under the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is a terrible day for Louisianans — of color. If the maps are previously designed to limit Black voting power — Section 2 specifically says the maps must be redrawn… to give Blacks more of a chance of electing someone… who hears them.

And so, this is a terrible day for this nation. We would do well, here to recall that Dr. King said that “a riot is the language of the unheard….”

But rest assured: there will be a blue wave this Fall.

Bank on it.

Elections… will have consequences.

Full stop.
