#SCOTUS sends closely watched #NativeAmerican #VotingRights decision back to lower court

SCOTUS acted in a #VotingRightsAct case brought by Native American tribes on Monday, saying a closely watched ruling needs to be reconsidered after the high court weakened the #CivilRights era #law.

The justices ordered lower courts to take another look at the decision that went against the tribes & undercut a key enforcement mechanism: lawsuits from voters & advocacy groups.

‘Beyond court reform, Americans have to reacquaint themselves with constitutional thinking — with the idea that we, the people, make constitutional meaning. To the extent that the Supreme Court claims broad authority to say what our constitution means, it is in large part because we have given this authority to the justices through our indifference.’

Speaker #CosplayColbert tells black #Democrats furious over Red States rushing to #gerrymander their districts in the wake of the #SCotUS decision to functionally obliterate the 1965 #VotingRightsAct:

"You don't just blow up the system when you lose."

Seriously? How ANY #Republican can say that with a straight face shows a mindboggling lack of self-awareness! 🤬
