Faith in the Supreme Court depends on its independence.
Overturning decades of legal precedent while justices hobnob at White House dinners and accept private jet travel from interested parties is testing that faith.
My ROBE Act will help restore fairness and trust.

Unlike Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, & Florida, Virginia put its redistricting referendum up to the will of the PEOPLE. They voted & the redistricting amendment won, fair & square.
This ruling throws out their votes and ignores Virginians’ will.
Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results
The ruling upends one of the most closely watched redistricting fights in the country.

Section 2 of the 15th Amendment explicitly delegates to Congress the right to decide how to enforce Black voting rights. That's what the text says. And that's the original intent of the framers.

On this date in 1869, Congress passes the 15th Amendment, granting African American men the right to vote. However, enforced poll taxes, literacy tests, and more kept many African American voters disfranchised.

oh they will definitely hold that the 14th and 15th amendments dictate that nothing can be done to ameliorate racial inequality or past racial discrimination, even in voting and representation, despite the fact that the text of both amendments clearly allows for such.
😬The Supreme Court will consider whether the intentional creation of a majority-minority congressional district violates the 14th or 15th Amendments.
If the answer is yes, SCOTUS will effectively declare that what remains of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. This is very, very ominous.

12 days after gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS has turned back the clock in Alabama.
Like Louisiana, this will dilute Black voting power and dismantle protections needed to fight discrimination.
Another dark day for our democracy.

Supreme Court lets Alabama speed adoption of congressional map eliminating a majority-Black district
The decision sends litigation back to a lower court as the state races to adopt a map before the midterm elections that would more heavily favor Republicans.
