I'm surprised nobody has posted yet about the murder of the Voting Rights Act today by SCOTUS

6-3 ruling, revokes the last pillar of the VRA against racial gerrymandering.

I’m sure someone will post more details in LBN soon.

Let’s hope this intensifies the calls to expand the court and kill the filibuster to do so.

Haven't had a chance to read the opinion yet, and I don't like to comment based only on headlines (though I'm sure it's bad).
