So while I don't think Callais is *apocalyptic* for Democrats, it's still a hideous perversion of the Constitution that will undermine democracy and racial equality for years. The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead. The 15th Amendment has been repurposed to greenlight racism. It's a dark day. 101253381
Reposted by Tyler QuebedeauxMark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 29/04/20264. Kagan explains this well, but what's perhaps most galling about Callais is how the majority effectively overrules Congress's judgment about how best to enforce the Reconstruction Amendments, as it did in Shelby County. This extreme judicial activism is a huge threat to democratic self-governance. 41164325

Don't believe Alito's claim that the majority is merely tinkering with precedent. In effect, this decision pretty much eliminates what remained of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. 252105623
Reposted by Tyler QuebedeauxMark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 29/04/20262. Callais functionally overturns Congress's command that states like Louisiana—where white voters have long sought to crush the political power of nonwhites—create "opportunity districts" to ensure that racial minorities can elect their representative of choice. Those districts will soon be gone. 2780155

![2 WEST VIRGINIA v. B. P. J.
THOMAS, J., concurring
judgment). Because “gender dysphoria” is a mutable men-
tal state that is the object of psychiatric treatment, it does
not resemble the immutable characteristics on the basis of
which our precedents have applied heightened scrutiny—
race, sex, or national origin. Instead, gender dysphoria re-
sembles other characteristics on the basis of which legisla-
tures may classify with a merely rational basis. See, e.g.,
Heller v. Doe, 509 U. S. 312, 321 (1993) (mental illness);
Plyler v. Doe, 457 U. S. 202, 220 (1982) (immigration sta-
tus). Legislatures have many obvious rational bases to
keep men who believe that they are women out of teams
and private spaces reserved for women.
Second, as the Court recognizes, this case concerns “bio-
logical men” and “boys who identify as girls.” Ante, at 10,
27. Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or
girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immuta-
ble “biological” characteristic, see ante, at 10; it is binary;
and “man” and “woman,” “boy” and “girl,” are the terms that
correspond to adults and children of each sex. See A. Byrne,
Are Women Adult Human Females? 177 Philosophical
Studies 3783, 3786–3787 (2020). To use language to ob-
scure reality—to show “indifference regarding the truth”—
is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens
“as equal[s].” J. Pieper, Abuse of Language—Abuse of
Power 17, 21 (1992).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreibwsxtosqddkiskx5oxonnai4ha7ygixfcqmnbsxb27z3q43jh4iu)
