Republican Justices Poised to Weaken Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court, with a 6-3 Republican-appointed majority, appears ready to undermine the Voting Rights Act's protections for minority political representation.
Voting rights activists have warned that the results will be "catastrophic" as at least five conservative justices seem prepared to weaken the law.
The conservatives are ready to wind the clock back to 1982, if not earlier.
The case, Louisiana v. Callais, focuses on Section 2 of the law, which requires equal opportunities for racial minorities to participate in the electoral process.
