@sahilkapur TX will attack §3 & §5 as unconst.#SCOTUS cld just allow bail-in and (again) not touch preclearance. But won't do that forever.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MikeSacksHP I could see a §3 challenge but §5? That was at the heart of Shelby and they essentially upheld it.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@sahilkapur No, they thought the could render §5 inoperative by killing §4. Bail-in keeps §5 in play, and thus puts it in danger.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
