Sad, isn’t it, that we have to keep refighting battles we thought we had one? The decision I regarding Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act wasn’t a surprise to me, although it was horrid. Nor is it a surprise that Republicans are returning to the old gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement tricks to suppress voting among their opponents.
The six right wing members of the court have no regard for stare decisis or precedents except when they can manipulate them to get their own way. Roberts originally came to the DOJ as a Reagan appointee whose job it was to start suppressing minority voting. Don’t look for anything from the SCOTUS majority except for favoritism for big money and big corporations over the rights of human beings. They have decided to play the phony game that we have become more “egalitarian” when in fact we are worse off than we were in terms of concentration of wealth, employment and civil rights. We are at serious risk of permanently losing constitutional government to a selfish, narcissistic and sociopathic individual who has already shown he is incapable of governing.
Kathy You used a word that seems judicially obsolete these days—‘stare decisis.’ Back in the Middle Ages, when I studied the Constitution, stare decisis, going back to Chief Justice John Marshall , was the foundation stone of our judiciary system.
Should I request a refund for my constitution law courses? Can I get online credit for courses in Aliotism and Thomasism?

Exactly so, Kathy.
