"Hakeem Jeffries just called the Supreme Court of the United States an illegitimate Court! This is a Low IQ individual, who should not be allowed to talk that way about one of the Greatest Institutions anywhere in the World."
"The majority opinion had rendered Section 2 'all but a dead letter.' The practical consequences are stark: analysts estimate that without the strength of the VRA, up to 12 seats in southeastern states could flip from Democrat-leaning to Republican-leaning."
"Affirmative action is gone, diversity is gone, equity gone, inclusion gone, racial tolerance gone, the Voting Rights Act largely gone."
Hakeem Jeffries criticized the Supreme Court's legitimacy following its ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which weakened the Voting Rights Act. The decision eliminated protections against racially discriminatory redistricting, impacting the creation of majority-Black districts. Justice Kagan's dissent highlighted the ruling's detrimental effect on Section 2 of the Act. Jeffries emphasized the broader implications, stating that affirmative action, diversity, equity, and inclusion are all at risk due to this decision, which could shift political power in southeastern states.
