Last week’s Supreme Court decision didn’t just undermine the Voting Rights Act. It foreclosed the possibility of any new Voting Rights Act in the future, too.
I believe that this assumes precedent matters. The other thing this court has declared is that precedent means nothing. That’s the important take to have if things are going to get fixed.
I was wondering the same thing. They keep declaring the previous supreme court wrong. Why do they get to be the final say then? If they are saying a supreme court ruling can be wrong, why are we even bothering with these idiots.
Technically you’re right, but with the court having skewed the system to favour Republicans so much, it will be very difficult to get more people on to the Surpreme Court who want to overrule this one’s decisions.

They don’t unless we let them.
