Putting the BBB revival on the back burner. Democrats are now full speed towards making a case for restoration of Voting Rights Act. Do Democrats have a better chance at accomplishing something along these lines notwithstanding the prior legislative failures due to filibuster?
Justice Ginsberg found herself in the minority in the voting rights case, Shelby County v. Holder, joined by Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan. Ginsberg asserted in her dissent: The majority opinion rolled back the 1965 Voting Rights Act’s protections and permitted states, including those with histories of racially motivated voter suppression, to change their voting procedures without any outside oversight. Justice Ginsburg knew what that meant and refused to pretend it wouldn’t erode the advances made under the act.
... “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”
Ginsberg Dissent covers the last 37 pages of Shelby.
Democrats claim various states [including the original who required preclearance] have since implemented restrictive measures that make it difficult for certain groups of people to cast ballots.
The legislative action taken by the Democrats have failed multiple times; unable to overcome the filibuster. Do the Democrats have a better chance at accomplishing a voting right legislation this time around? How would that be possible?
