"This gives the Supreme Court an opportunity to neutralize what remains of the voting rights act and to allow states to really gerrymander racial minorities into oblivion, to deny them fair representation, Stern said. He continued, saying, it stands to give Republicans 15 to 19 more seats in the House of Representatives in the 2028 cycle. That is a bombshell. It is huge, and I feel like it's not really getting enough attention in proportion to the impact that it may well have."
"This decision stands to fundamentally restructure our government. As Justice [Sonia] Sotomayor pointed out during oral arguments, this will abolish independent agencies. It will put almost all of the executive branch under direct presidential control, in direct violation of Congress's wishes, and it will allow Trump to really just consolidate an unfathomable amount of authority in the White House, taking that power away from Congress."
If the Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Calais, states could redraw districts to dilute racial minority voting strength and deny fair representation. A ruling that neutralizes key protections could translate into 15–19 additional Republican House seats by 2028, altering congressional balance. Louisiana v. Calais concerns racial gerrymandering and redistricting after the 2020 Census. Separately, Trump v. Slaughter could allow presidents to remove virtually any executive official, undermine independent agencies, and concentrate executive authority. Acceptance of a broad unitary executive theory would place much of the executive branch under direct presidential control, countering congressional intent.
