We’ve gone from the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats voting for the VRA and subsequent decades confirmation of its constitutionality to John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, saying it’s not constitutional. This is real judicial activism. A true judicial conservative like many of the judges on the Warren and later Burger court would understand precedence and the fact that the law has worked as intended. And yes, I’m angry, angry that Chief Justice Roberts would try to twist this in to oh woe the poor South is being discriminated against and Scalia’s claim that it’s just a pretty worded law and that crap about racial entitlements. These are both men that Republican presidential candidates want their model justices to be. There’s a lot of reasons to oppose the Republican party but considering judicial appointments are for life or last years after that executive leaves, Republican judiciary picks are a very simple and obvious reason to oppose that party.
