Supreme Court limits Voting Rights Act in 6-3 ruling

Hangman18

“So I call on democrats everywhere, if this is the game they want to play we will play it until they come kicking and screaming to the table to pass nonpartisan gerrymandering legislation to end this. Democrats must redraw lines in all available states before the midterms.”

Cajun AF Out da bayou11

The country is still run by racist.

Raisins11

How convenient for red states that partisanship and racism go together so well. Republicans know they can’t win without changing the rules to benefit themselves.

Guy Smiley7

Vile ruling of a corrupt court.

JumpinJoe53💙5

So Virginia's redistricting can go foward? Ok Blue States, that haven't redistricted. Stop fucking around. You can bet every single Red State will. One thing in Dem's favor is the GOP's underestimation of just how pissed off at the GOP/trump admin, the vast majority of Americans are at them.

When you take away people’s ability to do change via the ballot box you leave them with only one other option….

"We hold these truths to be self evident that all [people] are created equal"? We continue to segregate our population into small gps (hyphenated-Americans, women, LGBTQ, ) who can be picked off 1 at a time & excluded from participation in our democracy. Stand up & resist! ALL OF US must fight back!

As I said to family after the ruling, Welcome to Apartheid, American style.

Will blue states just sit by and watch

Its important to elect a democratic governor, because they have the power to control gerrymandering along with your state representatives. Its sad Republicans have to cheat to win.

The same Supreme Court that recognizes Race when ICE can harass black or brown people and ask for ID's if they hear people speak another language or speak with an accent.

Partisanship is racial right now, every republican is racist or supports racists and racism

America ceased to exist on 11/5/2024.

Garl Falconman2

Every blue state needs to aggressively gerrymander right now. Stack the deck impossibly against republicans in every state you can. Forget putting it to a vote either. Just do it.

Narrator's Voice: "This SCOTUS decision, and the celebration of it, are themselves examples of intentional racial discrimination."

TheSnarkTank42

Fuck - and I can’t possibly stress this enough - him.

John Pontoon27

I hate this stupid racist cunt. It feels good to say it sometimes.

Patric Reynolds18

He literally had no idea this happened 2 hours ago, or how the case was decided.

ADaveSaysWhat14

"If you can't win...cheat." He is exactly like Bibi--he knows the minute they lose, he's going to trial. Which makes him even more unpredictable and dangerous. He literally has nothing to lose by breaking every law.

okay7.bsky.social14

Basically the “Supreme Court” tried to make the black vote and the hispanic vote irrelevant for all practical purposes.

craiger12

I hate them so much.

"It returns the VRA to its original intent" wat I am gonna become the Joker.

Lady Ang9

If I didn’t already know this was bad for us, seeing this tweet would make it more than clear.

Mina7

The original intent of the VRA was defined- very clearly- by the elected representatives who wrote and passed the legislation. What Sam Alito did was substitute his own intentions and rewrite the legislation.

Ricck756

Harlan Crow’s bribes for Clarence are getting expensive. Abolishing minority voting rights is new Learjet level, not new RV level.

wozvillenation.bsky.social5

“Intentional racial discrimination” vs partisan racial discrimination. Just because you’re not wearing your klan costume, doesn’t mean you’re not racist when it’s off.

StMedford4

We have to elect leaders who were born after the water fountains were made for all Americans. Only then can we start to move on.

Social Greedia4

Who wrote this bullshit for him?

They Call Me Gary4

🤔 New Robes ordered for SCOTUS Justices....

Purgatory4

He had no idea what this was or even opinion was released a few hours ago

The Comely Lads4

He didn't even know what the fuck it was until a reporter asked him about it.

bernie747.bsky.social4

Just sick. Just turned the clock back to 1965! Shameful!

Hamgravy3

As Orwellian as it gets

Fresh Peppers3

No way he wrote that himself.

jtadetroit.bsky.social3

So we’re not just a refuge for Apartheid enthusiasts from South Africa, but for their philosophies as well

Nobody3

I can already see the future color of the congress!

Cheryl Bolen Smelson2

Only if you believe white voters are facing discrimination

planehop2

just continues to confirm his racism. shame and pox on him. i pray for a blue wave in november despite the SCOTUS stacking the deck against free and fair elections of ALL citizens in this perennial racist nation

They Call Me Gary2

🤔 That's exactly what the GOP has been doing. 🙄

Roland Gerritsen van der Hoop2

Whoever wrote this for his Elated Orangeness has no clue what the Voting Rights Act was written for at all. But no problem as the MAGA crowd does not know either and/or does not care anyway as they are racist bigots with rather small brains.

@SuzanaD32

It's only the beginning. Minorities always get it first. #FuckSCOTUS

Agar862

Racism lives in the halls of government and in the piss poor Supreme Court. We need to pack the court and get the white suprematists off the bench!!!

mjb8885.bsky.social2

proving his unfitness numerous times daily…

Joshfrai24

The goal is not to “come back from this.” The goal is to go beyond and create something new that actually lives up to the ideals this country has always, and only, paid lip service to.

Robin Broshi6

Like “Restore Roe” was a terrible vision post-Dobbs - Roe was not even a good starting point for abortion rights

Charlotte the Host Origami 4

preclearance should include all the states just for a start

.308s and Heartbreak4

The old policies and institutions lead to this. We must do better.

Reselsnark3

I have a crazy idea for the US. Partisan gerrymandering should be made illegal.

Catfish3

Expand the house!! Double the seats. Public funding. Voting holiday. Automatic registration.

Joanne2

Yeah, Roberts is a clown

smm570.bsky.social2

When you get right down to it, it's the behavior of an abuser. They do what they want, when they want, how they want and don't owe anyone any explanation. He's feeling pretty powerful today, abusive to the bone.

guisbeau.bsky.social2

Travesty of justice. Shame on them!!

Dana Jeanne2

A bought and paid for Supreme Court who have no right to those seats.

eddie0028.bsky.social2

The country was founded by white men for the benefit of white men. We're just going back to our roots 😖

jtsteine.bsky.social2

SCOTUS has done us so dirty

Rising Sun NorCal Man2

Given the destruction of the Voting Rights Act thanks to Mitch McConnell’s devilish acts allowing trump to pack the supreme court- we should call on the next CA governor to work with the legislature to abolish the commission on redistricting & make the Prop 50 changes permanent.

floridablueflorida.bsky.social2

Red states will start redistributing their districts so that the GOP will be the only districts available. Georgia, I hope you survive , as a Floridian , Desantis just eliminated the only 4 districts we have. Now, BLUE STATES; LET REPUBLICANS FEEL OUR OUTRAGE! ELIMINATE REPUBLICAN DISTRICTS

T-Fish🇨🇦🍁3

My God BDD!!! Your country has to come to a reckoning after this shit show is over. Your country is going backwards
