"The Voting Rights Act is all but dead. Prepare for maximum gerrymandering. The Republican justices just abolished 40 years worth of law protecting against rigged maps."

"I would not use the word modesty by any stretch of the imagination with Alito, Thomas, or Kavanaugh. Not even. And I did go so far as to say that for Chief Justice John Roberts, this is a huge asterisk on his legacy in such a bad way. I mean, he has had a series of really not good asterisks nest his name, but this I think is one of the biggest ones."

"On Wednesday, the Roberts Court destroyed the last vestiges of the Voting Rights Act. ...
The decision is an abomination. It seeks to repeal the voting protections of the 14th and 15th Amendments, which specifically prohibit denial of the right to vote based on 'race, color, or previous condition of servitude.'”

"Justice Alito basically declares racism is over. ... Never, never buy into this narrative that the Republican appointees are just respecting the democratic processes, adopting a modest vision of the judicial role. That is not how they act, and that is certainly not how they acted in this case."

"All six Republican-appointed justices on the court signed onto Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion gutting what remained of the Voting Rights Act protections for minority voters, while pretending they were merely making technical tweaks to the act."

"On Wednesday, the Supreme Court gutted what was left of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. ...
We knew it was coming, but it’s still a gut punch."

"In a 6-3 decision, Supreme Court conservatives gutted the Voting Rights Act provision guarding against racial discrimination. Dissenting, the liberal justices warned of 'far-reaching and grave' consequences for US democracy."

"The Voting Rights Act of 1965, the signature achievement of the Civil Rights Movement, is now as dead as Medgar Evers. It is as dead as Viola Liuzzo. It is as dead as James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. It is as dead as Rev. James Reeb. It is as dead as Vernon Dahmer. And it is as dead as Martin Luther King, Jr."

“The John Roberts Court has now declared that racism in American politics is no more. Despite the recent behavior in Texas and North Carolina, Wednesday’s cruel Callais decision pretends that Jim Crow is a bygone era and not this week’s news."

"In other words: Discriminating against Black voters is okay because they vote for Democrats. Many Democrats in the 19th century, when Black people overwhelmingly voted Republican, would have enthusiastically agreed with Alito’s assessment. But if you apply Alito’s logic to those white-supremacist Democrats, they weren’t racist either."

"Decked out in tuxedos and formal gowns, they assembled for a State dinner held in a White House controlled by the most explicitly and destructively racist President to serve in 150 years. They dined on Dover Sole 'expertly prepared and bathed in a nutty brown butter,' 'tender' spring ramps, and potatoes pave."
