@ISSUE • The U.S. Supreme Court's Calais decision reinterprets the 1965 Voting Rights Act. What will the impact be for Mississippi?

from @ISSUE

Last week the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Louisiana's newly drawn congressional district should not have used race as a factor. Does the 1965 Voting Rights Act remain "substantially intact," as Republican Lucien Smith claims? Or has it been "nullified with the stroke of a pen," as Democrat Brandon Jones laments? Brandon and Lucien join host Wilson Stribling to discuss this momentous decision and its impact on Mississippi.
