As a big supporter of the VRA at the time and now, I wonder if it really matters anymore. SCOTUS has ruled, doing great damage, that partisan gerrymandering is perfectly legal. Given the fact/belief that black and brown voters lean Democratic, they are gong to be disenfranchised based on that partisan basis anyway.

And that partisan crud is now openly advocated and even bragged about.

I’m struggling to see how this latest SCOTUS on the VRA will make things worse. Your thoughts?

Conservative accuse liberals of needing to tone down their rhetoric following the Correspondants Dinner assasination attempt. And similarly some accuse the SPLC of some responsibility for the rage and violence in the groups they penetrated.

What stands out, and what I wrote about few days ago, is the conservative refusal to acknowledge the way they have fanned the flames for three decades.

Both sides need to police their own communities before throwning stones, yes?
