26. ah no, he was advocating for BUSING ACROSS DISTRICT LINES IN THAT CASE

Fri Apr 12, 2019, 08:19 AM

Apr 2019

The court held that busing couldn't be done across district lines unless it could be proven that the lines were drawn with the intent of discriminating against blacks. Marshall and the other three justices argued that intent shouldn't matter, busing should be required if the effect of the lines was to create nearly all white districts and nearly all black ones. That is diametrically opposed to Biden's position.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
