[quote=Anonymous]So the gist of the case in Alito's opinion appears to be that they are not dismantling the VRA. They say that there is no longer a need for racially gerrymandered districts since black elected leaders are in political positions in record numbers. But that law was passed by Congress. So, if SCOTUS doesn't like it or think it's not needed, the correct mechanism would be to would be to overrule it. Further, Alito is a POS chickensh--. He is trying to have it both ways: enough plausible deniability to say "I didn't over rule it" but leaving the new "framework" as evidence of intent to discriminate (which is nearly impossible to prove). Finally, as RGB said (as noted on The Daily), even if it wasn't necessary: just because it's not raining, you don't throw out the umbrella. [/quote]
