Supreme Court decision on VRA ‘sent us backwards in time’: Booker

The Supreme Court ruled that Louisiana's addition of a second majority-Black congressional district is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, sparking criticism from Democratic Sen. Cory Booker. The decision was made along ideological lines with a 6-3 vote. This ruling declares Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 inapplicable in this context.
