It is not the job of scotus to consider “consequencies”.

They rule based on the law as written. You libs are some dumb fuks!
It's the job of the SCOTUS to put into effect the intent of the authors of the Constitution and laws passed pursuant to it.

Those who wrote Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and then amended it in 1982 to override a previous SCOTUS ruling limiting it only to cases of provable intentional discrimination surely never anticipated that it would be interpreted in a way that would reduce minority representation.

Average Joe will be ready, no matter the outcome. Certainly you have that same philosophy.?

Holy smokes
SCOTUS interprets the law as written and applies the legal tests that Congress created.

The court has to apply the statute within constitutional limits. the court can’t just ignore them to achieve a preferred result. Geez

If Congress believes the current interpretation is producing the wrong outcomes, it has the authority to revise the law again. That’s the constitutional balance: Congress writes the law, and the Court interprets it—not the other way around.
Try plain English and close your one-track posts….you leave inconvenient info out a lot.

Congress already corrected the same error the Court made in 1980 by amendment in 1982 only to have it repeat it this week by limiting the language Congress used beyond its intended purpose.

The law was passed 98-0 in the Senate. SCOTUS said we don't need it anymore. The southern states immediately cancelled elections and are now gerrymandering to eliminate black representation in Congress.

You won't be so flippant when gas in YOUR state is 8 bucks a gallon. You are literally insane if you think our economy is on fire, it is so good in your blind eyes.

Follow me, Funhouse, We have had to step back and clean up Iran, which Clinton, Bush and Obama left undone. Luckily we will hve that behind us soon, and thank Trump, that OUR KIDS WILL NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. You did mention in an earlier post that our kids will deal with the economics of society,.....I am merely saying, it will not be a nuclear problem for them.
Cool. So, you here are upset about a few more weeks of gas prices. How bout being happy with everything else, and enjoy our defeat of Iran. We sacrifice for the good of no nukes in our children's futures.
So you see that gas increases are going to be short-lived. So will the Iranian cretins.

Remember, you will waste time, write 50 more posts about gas prices, and they will be down to $2.50. (not in CA 😆 )


Hey did you see where sue says that SCOTUS needs to consider the 'effects of a decision"' before they adjudicate??? The possible consequences?? Man, you guys sure like to be taken care of. Made happy.
And did you see where Marauder is suggesting that billionaires are.....well, something. What, maybe a scourge on society or something?? he never comes right out and says what he is saying. in plain English. Like YOU do!!! 😉

Congress made a law in this case, the SCOTUS gutted it with a decision that flies in the face of the purpose of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

How does this ruling violate sec 2?
