Sonia Sotomayor exposes the Supreme Court’s latest voting rights lie.

Key Points:

• The Supreme Court issued a 6–3 shadow docket ruling allowing Alabama to eliminate a congressional district held by a Black Democrat, despite a district court finding intentional racial discrimination violating the 14th Amendment.
• The conservative majority dismissed evidence of racial bias, applying the precedent from Louisiana v. Callais to make most constitutional voting rights claims nearly impossible to win.
• The ruling effectively permits Alabama to implement a racially discriminatory map that dilutes Black voting power, increases Republican representation, and causes voter confusion amid ongoing primaries.
• Dissenting Justice Sotomayor accused the majority of contradicting their prior assurances and imposing an unreasonably high standard for proving racial discrimination in voting rights cases, effectively undermining minority protections.
• Legal analysts warn the decision signals the Court will no longer protect Black voters from discriminatory practices, only guarding against what it sees as "reverse racism" towards white voters, severely weakening multiracial democracy safeguards.
