Of greatest import, these same Supremes upheld Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, in three momentous decisions in the last month.
That preserves Black and brown voting power.
And that, coupled to the fact that whytes — as a group — are soon to be a numerical minority in the states… means the die is already cast.
It may take a decade to play out, but her vaunted pro-whyte, exclusionary policies… will die out.
Bitsy knows it. She also knows that without racist appeals to “whyte replacement” theory, the GOP cannot win elections, even in the present day.
So hers is impotent bleating.
And as we’ve shown, all these pernicious decisions (except perhaps the anti-LBGTQ+ ones) are capable of ready work-arounds.
Ms. Stauffer is silent on it, but the 1965 Act authorizes the student loan forgiveness restart — which Mr. Biden adopted last night.
Harvard and UNC made plain (consistent with Roberts’ own statements in his opinion) they and all others will use essay content to score toward a diversity-infused student body. The Supremes well-know they cannot prevent that. All nine know it.
So while the Luddites ruling the Court are an ugly, unfortunate hangover from Tangerine… they amount to very little, in the bigger picture.
And via Dobbs and the anti-gay opinions, the Luddites continue to energize a strong, young “backlash voting bloc” — against repressive hard right GOP… BS.
Net, net… the Supremes have actually hurt the GOP more than aided it.
So… Cheers, Bits!
