OPINION — To preserve our democracy, we must reform the U.S. Supreme Court. We need a code of ethics, term limits and more judges.
In its recent Louisiana v. Callais decision, the Court’s Republican majority completed its years-long campaign to neuter the Voting Rights Act. Not coincidentally, they dramatically tilted the electoral playing field in Republicans’ favor.
The case came in the context of drawing congressional districts. The Court “interpreted” the Voting Rights Act to let legislators openly target minority communities and dilute their political influence if they do it for “partisan” reasons.
