The Scotus's reasoning was immediately disproven by how quickly southern states eliminated Black majority districts.

[Swede]

Racism is alive and well.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2.

SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

1. Precisely!

[Mr.Bee]

9. Exactly!

[Lovie777]

2. And those 6 don't care........................

Oh yes, Alito, it's about race.

[D_Master81]

3. They knew what they were doi g

Look at Roe v Wade. How many of those “justices” sat in front of confirmation hearings and said that they weren’t going to overturn it? Only to do it within 2 years. They cover their asses in words to get through the moment to allow the conservative movement to win down the road

[Solly Mack]

4. Not so much disproven as shown to be a lie. They lied about why they were doing it. They knew what would happen.

[dalton99a]

6. +1

[returnee]

22. Those in the know could read the tea leaves knew...

…and were ready to pounce. It was decided before oral arguments even started.

[dalton99a]

5. Their purpose in life is to keep Republicans in power. The Constitution means nothing to them.

[Wounded Bear]

8. More importantly, their purpose is to keep the uber wealthy in charge...

If repubs suddenly had a change of heart to more liberal values the justices would drop them like a bad apple.

[orangecrush]

7. The damage is done

It's up to us to seek justice.

[in2herbs]

10. With or w/o support of the Senate, when Ds have a majority in the House the 6 USSC justices must

be subjected to impeachment proceedings.

[AverageOldGuy]

11. Next:

Repeal the Civil Rights Act.

THE SOUTH HAS WON THE CIVIL WAR.

[LeftInTX]

12. They knew this would happen and they don't care. I think they like it...

[Skittles]

24. of COURSE they knew this would happen

WORKING AS DESIGNED

[mymomwasright]

13. Folks are gonna be hell-fire angry now!

Time to put all the "my colleague and friend from the other side" talk to rest once and for all!

[Chasstev365]

14. If this doesn't inspire a voter backlash, nothing will.

[no_hypocrisy]

15. SCOTUS' Alice in Wonderland "Logic"

[Old Crank]

16. They knew it would happen.

Which is why they made it effective immediately.
The corrupt and 6 have destroyed the country.

[sop]

17. David Kurtz, TPM:

"The same folks who fought integration tooth and nail in the 1960s, continued to drag their feet in the 1970s and ’80s, and spent the intervening decades fomenting racial strife for their own electoral gains became the first people to insist — without irony or self-awareness, let alone repentance or shame — that racism was behind us."

"Integration went from never to too soon to enough already."

"One of the features of white supremacy, if you’re a white supremacist, is you get to expurgate your own sins."

"You can shed the robe and hood. You can get cosmetic surgery, as David Duke literally did, and made yourself inoffensive and telegenic. You can craft elaborately self-serving legal theories stripped of overt racial animus. You can even flip the script and play indignant victim when accused of racism. But you never ever have to be accountable for America’s original sin."

[GiqueCee]

18. The stark reality...

... of the Sinister Six's blatant racism is irrefutable, as is their servile obeisance to the vile creature who not only inspires and encourages the worst in his supporters, but openly celebrates it as if unswerving loyalty to him is patriotism. It is not.
The only good thing they've ever done is to lay bare all the reasons why the Court so desperately needs radical reform for the good of the country.
Their impeachment and disbarment cannot occur soon enough.

[flashman13]

19. There was no reasoning at all. The purpose was to disenfranchise black people ASAP. That is clear by the

fact that they ordered the opinion to be published immediately rather than wait the normal 32 days. They wanted the racists to get to work sooner rather than later. After all, they have a elections to steal.

[Intractable]

20. With the new redistricting, red states are getting redder, blue states are getting more blue.

This country gonna crack along its fault lines.

[B.See]

21. Their 'reasoning' was bullshit in the first place,

and they KNEW IT. Theirs was a deliberate act to nullify the Voting Rights Act and re-establish Jim Crow.

They knew what would follow.

[Skittles]

25. their "reasoning" was their COVER STORY

yes indeed

[moondust]

23. Planned in advance?

Since John Crow Roberts has wanted to disappear the VRA since the early 80s, there may have been some coordination through the years and they had a plan ready that was just waiting for a trigger.

[RockRaven]

26. That is because the Roberts KKKourt's reasoning is never reasoning.

What the Roberts KKKourt does is start with the politically motivated outcome, and backfill any old bullshit as a hand waving excuse for their overtly partisan political activity.

They always do this when the question is one involving partisan politics. ALWAYS. They never start with data (facts, Constitution, laws, precedents) and reason their way to an answer.

[struggle4progress]

27. They're racists, and they don't reason: they just bullshit in hopes of confusing folk

[Totally Tunsie]

28. There's only one word for this SCOTUS...

SHAME.

[Ilsa]

29. So, should this be an example to

law students of "Res ipsa loquitur," or does "Exitus acta probat" fit the situation that the decision resulted in proving the decision wrong?

Racism is alive and kicking out in the open now.

[BlueHurricane]

30. Republicans next step will be to sue blue states

And say white people don’t have all the power in those states and therefore they are being discriminated against because their power isn’t overemphasized, Then the Roberts Court will require that blue states also have to agree with their new racist interpretation of the VRA and impose the same racial gerrymandering advantage for whites. It would be Jim Crow for all and we must do everything we can to stop it.
