“Congruence & proportionality”was used 40 years ago.

The truth today is “white nationalist” believe that eventually they will be the minority in the US. And they mad since Obama.

This severe crack down on all of our rights is based on fear & “white nationalism” today”

Roberts is saying that the court's own precedent from a couple of years ago, where it ruled that Alabama had to draw racial fair maps, doesn't apply to this (identical) case, essentially because the Alabama case was poorly argued.
It's a terrible argument, but the hill Roberts is gonna die on.

Yes. Very casually turning the SSFA into a determination that any statute addressing race discrimination must be time-bound. Just absolutely untrue. An utter usurpation of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Justice Kavanaugh in the Callais oral argument keeps alluding to some longstanding requirement of strict scrutiny that use of race have a time limit. This is invented.

What does stereotyping have to do with any of this?

“Whites” in Louisiana tend not to vote for AAs Justice Sotomayor said that’s just what the data shows.

That’s not stereotyping.The conservatives word.

To me is absurd to argue these voting rights issues based on racial discrimination while there is an actual “white nationalist” regime w a potus actively telling Govs to redistrict to get more “white”republicans,but really it’s about AAs political power. We know what it is!

The conservative argument before SCOTUS is that a recent remedy in Alabama is unconstitutional bc it is biased against Caucasian people.

There was problem the court said you must allow this to fix it and this case wants to undo that bc it’s about race.

JNelsonLDF is arguing.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.
