Editorial: Court reverses voting rights stance in Shelby decision
The piece argues the Shelby County v. Holder ruling marks a partisan return for the Court led by Chief Justice Roberts. It contends the majority overturns Congress and the 14th and 15th amendments, weakening federal preclearance and enabling states to change voting rules. It cites Ginsburg’s strong dissent on “second-generation barriers” and notes past enforcement records and elections.
