SCOTUS Takes Up MAJOR CASE That Could SHOCK THE NATION - Legal AF



On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, the Roberts Court might be poised to knock down the last remaining pillar of that landmark civil rights law. The case, Louisiana v. Callais, will decide whether the Black-majority district that a federal judge ordered to protect minority voting power in the Bayou State is unconstitutional, but the case is not just about one map.

It's about the last remaining pillar of the Voting Rights Act: Section 2, and whether its weakening will cement GOP control over the House of Representatives for a generation. The ACLU's voting rights project director Sophie Lin Lakin breaks it down with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News. - 10/14/2025.

The middle of the road crowd will whine a little for the disenfranchised for a few seconds before going back to their only concern - does it directly hurt me?

Don’t changes to the constitution need consent of at least two thirds of the states? Re ERA or is it only the entire amendment?
