Sotomayor: "Just as Alabama doubled down on racial discrimination, the Court today doubles down on chaos. Because I choose to defend the rule of law and the right of all Alabamians to participate equally in democracy, I respectfully dissent." 🔥🔥
We will continue to throw all of our resources into the fight to ensure that Alabama voters have the fair representation that they deserve in Congress.” Deuel Ross, LDF Director of Litigation

“The Sup Ct’s decision gives cover to Alabama & others to deliberately & openly discriminate against Black voters w/o fear of any consequence. The Court’s shameless decision to reinstate a racially discriminatory map defies any thoughtful or consistent application of the law…

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House.
Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:
Justice Sotomayor’s powerful dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson underscores that nothing in Callais requires this result. We proved international racial discrimination against Black voters under the 14th Amend and SCOTUS ignored facts and law with no reasoning.

Dying gasps of a desperate regime that is somehow managing to completely disrupt the world's energy supply and send oil prices soaring past $100 a barrel... those are some pretty powerful last breaths.
