I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

Exactly — calling it ‘ruling on the law’ totally buries the lede. The real story is the threat to voting rights.Sanitized language like that makes systemic rollbacks sound neutral. It’s not neutral — it’s deeply political.”Framing is the story.
