The Supreme Court Has Made Intentional Discrimination Impossible to Prove - Jamelle Bouie




Louisiana v. Callais didn't just gut the Voting Rights Act — it effectively nullified the 14th and 15th Amendments themselves. Alito says the 15th Amendment only covers intentional discrimination. Then, in a separate unsigned Alabama order, the court made intentional discrimination nearly impossible to prove. The amendments written to protect Black voters from discrimination now apparently can't protect Black voters from discrimination.
