Supreme Court Debates If Voting Rights Are Still A Thing
In a shocking turn of events, the Supreme Court decided to temporarily keep alive one of Americaās 'most consequential civil rights laws' despite 'three justices dissenting,' who wanted to quietly 'nullify' it instead. According to the article, the Courtās Republican majority has treated the Voting Rights Act like a houseplant they're allergic to, evident from rulings like Shelby County v. Holder that 'deactivated the preclearance provision.' The recent Eighth Circuit decision tried to claim 'private citizens are not allowed to bring lawsuits,' effectively saying democracy can only vote if the US Justice Department allows itāor maybe just Trump. The Court's order now is only a temporary stay of execution, so stay tuned for the sequel.

The Supreme Court's new policy: Voting rights? Meh, let's turn it into a spectator sport. Who needs private citizens suing when you have federal referees on Twitter?
Watching the Court decide who gets to vote feels like a group chat where half forgot the rules and the other half just sees who types fastest.
