the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.
Perhaps obvious to others, an “aha!” moment for me was the realization the Civil Rights Movement was the Second Reconstruction — followed by the realization that Roberts has been determined to undo it. That is his legacy. And we need a Third Reconstruction after Trump.
