Description

The Supreme Court fast-tracked a decision impacting Black voting rights, and critics say the hypocrisy is impossible to ignore. The warning from the panel was blunt: this is warfare. Elie Mystal and Roland Martin break down what they describe as a direct attack on Black voting power after the Supreme Court accelerated a ruling tied to Louisiana’s congressional maps. The panel argues the court is abandoning its own standards when Black voting rights are involved, while Republicans push aggressive redistricting efforts aimed at weakening Black representation and the Congressional Black Caucus. 🔥 SCOTUS fast-tracks a ruling tied to Black voting rights and Louisiana’s congressional maps 🔥 Elie Mystal calls the decision “purely racist” 🔥 Roland Martin warns “this means war” as attacks on Black voting power escalate 🔥 Panel says the Supreme Court is “showing they ass” 🔥 Congressional Black Caucus representation now under threat 🔥 Gerrymandering battle intensifies across Southern states 🔥 Critics warn of a coordinated effort to weaken Black political power nationwide 🔥 “Sometimes white supremacy looks like a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling” We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

Once the power shifts we have to start impeaching Supreme Court Justices who take money.

SCOTUS needs to be term limited. And to go further, I think the American people should be the ones who vote for those positions including all judges across the country. No more appointing judges, let the American people choose who they want to be up on those benches.

The supreme Court's ruling symbolizes the burning of Black Wall Street all over again. Ever time Black Americans start making progress that progress is removed.

No person or persons should have lifetime appointments to any position it breeds complancy,and gives a sense of superiority knowing that their position is not threatened by any thing that they do.

This court is grossly out of step with the public. Nearly half were placed by presidents that lost the popular vote.
