This is a travesty for democracy, and it's directly contrary to decades of precedent and practice. It's quite a seachange in the way that everyone-Congress, the courts, plaintiffs, and even defendants-have thought about how the promise of Section 2 would be enforced.
This decision is wildly out of step with existing case law" and "radically upends the existing understanding of Section 2."
Holding that Section Two does not provide a private right of action would work a major upheaval in the law, and [I am] not prepared to step down that road today.
