- JONATHAN TURLEY: Calling the court illegitimate is the left’s latest assault on the Constitution
The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais clarified that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act prohibits intentional racial discrimination in redistricting, not racial gerrymandering. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Jamie Raskin criticized the court as 'illegitimate,' joining liberal critics like law professors Richard Hasen and Erwin Chemerinsky, who have accused conservative justices of undermining democracy. The article argues this reflects a broader left-wing movement to discredit the court or the Constitution.
