Supreme Court to Decide Legality of Key Voting Rights Act Provision
Share this @internewscast.com

On Friday, the Supreme Court instructed the parties involved in the Louisiana redistricting case to submit briefs on the constitutionality of forming minority-majority Congressional districts. In a succinct order, the Court directed the participants in Louisiana vs. Callais “to file supplemental briefs addressing the following question raised on pages 36—38 of the Brief for Appellees: Whether the State’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district violates the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.”

was argued in the last term, but no decision was reached. It concerns creating a second majority-Black congressional district in that state. The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case in March and was expected to rule by the end of June. Instead of a ruling, the Court relisted the case for another round of arguments on June 27, and then on Friday, placed the focus of the new argument on the legality of racial gerrymandering.
