      1. Real talk: only 9 states were covered in toto by the preclearance formula struck down in 2013, 10 if you count NC. Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, West Virginia, & Kentucky weren't covered, nor most of Florida. Northern states like OH & WI weren't covered.https://twitter.com/vanitaguptaCR/status/1284466593058127872 …

      Do not utter a word about Cong. Lewis so long as you hold hostage HR4, the bill which passed the House in Dec that restores the Voting Rts Act. Mr Lewis fought for that law almost with his life in 1965 and then everyday to restore it after SCOTUS gutted the heart of it in 2013. https://twitter.com/LeaderMcConnell/status/1284344881117364225 …

      2. The fact that HR4 sets new criteria for the preclearance formula just underlines the Roberts Court's point: the old formula was no longer based even vaguely on a current evaluation of circumstances.

      3. The Shelby County decision remains controversial bc it is debatable whether Congress' decision should be judicially reviewable. But there is really no dispute that Roberts was right that Congress simply failed to consider whether conditions had changed anywhere in 4 decades.

          Not their job to overturn. And even if empirically true re data, Ginsburg was also right that the umbrella was preventing the rain storm from pelting non white voters (even if for partisan rather than racist reasons). Some states changed their policy within days. Way to revise

          The best case against Shelby County is that Congress can just throw darts at a map & there's no judicial review. You get into the facts, it's all downhill.

          So wait, courts can just decide now to invalidate laws when circumstances change and Congress doesn’t act? No wonder Gorsuch went the way he did in Bostock v. Clayton County (the recent lgbt discrimination case). And props to him for consistency I suppose.
