The Supreme Courts guts the Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court this week effectively gutted the Voting Rights Act, by restricting a key provision of the landmark law against voter discrimination. Critics warn this is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise Black representation in Congress. There is precedent for this in history, when 22 Black congressmen during the Reconstruction-era were reduced to zero representation within a single generation.
