3. The question that this decision answered:

Are the so-called “conservative” justices on SCOTUs racist-fascists?

It seems like such a cheap shot at the Black Robes to lay that on them, but I will stand by it until someone proves me wrong. This decision clearly cast aside the voting rights of minorities, the better to assist whites in maintaining power over them. Alito claims that the law imposes restrictions so light as hardly to be worth the name. And he’s right, if you’re white. Roberts, in Shelby, claimed that, shoot, we’ve grown passed racism in this country so there’s no need to monitor voting laws in racist-dominant states.

Briefly stated, a Liberal SCOTUS would have entered this discussion by asking “Does this law enhance the right to vote or impose blocks to it for some people?” These so-called conservatives asked: “How can we uphold this law -- which clearly impedes the rights of native Americans about whom we do not care -- to maintain white status quo?”
